Vimarsha Foundation is a modern school (gurukula) for teaching and reflecting on the ancient wisdom of rishis and siddhas. We aim to integrate text and practice (śāstra and sādhanā) while sustaining traditional modes of the transmission (paramparā) of contemplative methods with open-ended rational approaches.
My grand teacher, Gopinath Kaviraj, told my teacher that one just needs to read three books in life: Yogasutra with Vyāsa's commentary, Vijñānabhairava, and Virūpāksapañcāśikā.

I started Vimarsha Foundation to reach out to a wider community to discuss some of these esoteric śāstras that my gurus in Varanasi and Nepal shared with great love.

All of the fathers and grandfathers crave for the continuity of tradition. I believe that this is one of the ways most applicable in our time for propagating these teachings.
