Buddha
The timeless wisdom of the Buddha inspires us to seek truth, practice compassion, and overcome suffering. His path of mindfulness and enlightenment continues to guide our mission.
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.

Founder’s Note
"Bodhi Bharat is my lifelong vision — to connect young people, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, with knowledge that empowers them to live freely, think critically, and build a compassionate society. Inspired by the Buddha’s path of awakening, I believe change begins with education, awareness, and courage."
