Who We Are

Bodhi Bharat is a movement inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Buddha and the democratic spirit of India. Rooted in the golden intellectual traditions of Bharat we envision a society where knowledge, dignity, and compassion are accessible to all.

We especially work with youth and marginalized communities, helping them rise above ignorance, repressive traditions, and economic suffering. Our mission is not just to inform, but to awaken - to nurture critical thinking, courage, and a sense of responsibility toward building a better world.

Our Values

Compassion

Every life has dignity and deserves freedom from suffering.

Wisdom

Knowledge and reflection are the keys to transformation.

Justice

Democracy and rights must empower the weakest voices.

Courage

To question unreasonable traditions and challenge injustice.
