VIMARSHA FOUNDATION OF GLOBAL PHILOSOPHY

San Diego, California, 92127 United States

Mission Statement

Vimarsha Foundation is a modern school (gurukula) for teaching and reflecting on the ancient wisdom of r̥ṣis and siddhas. Philosophically, vimarśa is the reflective mode of consciousness that makes consciousness self-aware. Theologically, vimarśa is Mother Śakti. Metaphysically, vimarśa is everything that exists as 'this' (idam). Our logo is itself a depiction of this profound concept. The inner eye is wisdom, light. In the center is a blue circle, the empty space, permeated with the rays communicating with the petals. Bindu and visarga stand for prakāśa and vimarśa. The phonemes (ka, ca, ṭa, ta, pa, ya, śa), written in Brahmī script, are central mātr̥kas, the matrices giving rise to the world. The outer white circle refers to knowledge spread throughout the world.

About This Cause

Our vision is: To teach, research, conserve, and publish Sanskrit philosophical and other literature from the Dharma traditions that expand global awareness. To engage the wisdom of the Rishis and sages from contemplative traditions for a creative dialogue in the humanities and social sciences. To create and support platforms for a collaboration between the Dharma philosophical traditions and global philosophies in contemplative, experiential, and scientific empirical levels. To promote awareness of alternative (non-Western) philosophies and worldviews, diverse cultures, languages, and ways of life, as resources for addressing global problems. To foster dialogue between science and the humanities, and cultivate a deeper understanding of thoughts and practices from around the globe. To support implementation of scientific findings derived from the philosophical underpinnings of the Dharma traditions in all disciplines of education.
