International Adi Shankracharya Research & Awareness Foundation is an educational & spiritual centre dedicated to create awareness about Adi Shankracharya who is the divine ocean of knowledge and soft skills. Our centre is inspired by the vision and teachings of the great sage Adi Shankaracharya who was born in Kalady, Kerala, India in 8th century CE. Maharshi Keshvananda established the centre in 2017 to collaborate & broadcast the teachings & vision of Adi Shankracharya in today’s divisive world.
Our centre is established in The Hague, Netherlands, to provide a platform for the dissemination and study of the Vedic scriptures and the teachings of the great spiritual masters of the Indian subcontinent. Over the years, we have developed a reputation as a leading centre for Vedic studies and research and have attracted students and scholars worldwide in the form of our established Aadi-Shankar Vedic University.
Adi Shankaracharya's teachings of Advaita Vedanta offer a timeless antidote to the divisions and conflicts that plague our world today. By embracing Shankara's message of unity, love, and compassion, humanity can transcend its differences and forge a path toward a more inclusive, tolerant, and harmonious future. As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, let us draw inspiration from the wisdom of Shankara and strive to build a world guided by the principles of unity, understanding, and mutual respect.
Our mission is to foster an environment of spiritual growth, intellectual inquiry, and cultural exchange, where students and scholars can deepen their understanding of the Vedic tradition and apply its timeless wisdom to their daily lives. We offer a wide range of programs and activities, including courses, workshops, seminars, retreats, and cultural events, designed to meet the needs and interests of people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Our faculty consists of highly qualified and experienced teachers dedicated to sharing their knowledge and insights with our students. We also have a vibrant community of supporters and volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to help us achieve our goals.
