About SRCM

The Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM) is a non-profit organisation which provides spiritual training to interested seekers around the world. Through the system of Sahaj Marg meditation, it offers a platform for spiritual and practical living in more than 100 countries worldwide [SRCM Centres] and on every continent of the globe.

SRCM was founded in India in 1945 and now has its world headquarters in Chennai, India. Its founder was Shri Ram Chandra of Shahajanpur, who dedicated SRCM to his spiritual teacher and guide, Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh. The current president of SRCM is Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, affectionately known as Chariji.

Sahaj Marg means the Natural Path, and is a spiritual practice based on inner experience through meditation. It is in essence the ancient practice of raja yoga, refined and simplified for modern everyday life. Sahaj Marg is practised daily by people from all backgrounds and all cultures, and is easily integrated into a busy lifestyle, bringing balance, joy and spiritual growth.

Every day, in SRCM's ashrams and thousands of centres worldwide, individuals from all walks of life—diverse nationalities, religious backgrounds, social and economic circumstances— come together, transcending boundaries in an atmosphere of love, trust and brotherhood.

SRCM is formally associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information (UN DPI) as an international non-governmental organisation. SRCM and the UN share a common goal in support of the public good and SRCM's objectives fulfil the principles outlined in the UN Charter.
