What is VOICE?

Vedic Oasis for Inspiration, Culture & Education (VOICE) touches the hearts and lives of children, teenagers, adolescent youth, corporates, families. Its motto is rekindling wisdom and reviving love.

VOICE represents ‘Spiritual Sound of Vedas' 'Shabda brahma' or 'Voicing concern'. Modern world is facing great degradation of character, culture and values.

For a sincere human being to live a life of pure principles is a great challenge. The 'Vedic Oasis' conveys the idea that it is 'life-giving' centre in a 'stress-ridden fast-paced rat race society' that is like a desert. Thus VOICE will provide a facility like an Oasis in the middle of desert to keep oneself surcharged in remembrance of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna always. The inspiration is spiritual inspiration to practice devotion to God with full enthusiasm.

The motto of VOICE is ‘Rekindling Wisdom, Reviving Love’. Intellectual education influences the head and value-based education influences the heart. In fact, education that does not train the heart can be dangerous. If we want to build character in our offices, homes and society, we must have the wisdom to live a principle-centered life based on honesty, compassion, courage, responsibility etc.

Steven Muller, President, Johns Hopkins University said :

“Universities are turning out highly skilled barbarians because we don’t provide a framework of values to young people, who more and more are searching for it.”

Winston Churchill said:

“The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade; character, not technicalities.”

Educated persons are those who can choose wisely and courageously under any circumstances between good and bad, between virtuousness and vulgarities regardless of the academic degrees they have. The goal of VOICE is to rekindle the innate wisdom about meaning and purpose of life.

Peter R.Schemm in his book entitled, ‘Love: Impact on Physical and Mental Health’ explains that people who live in relationships in which they do not feel loved, protected, happy or secure are ten times more susceptible to chronic disease and five time more susceptible to mental illness. Also studies prove that love heals diseases. Community, security, protection, sharing, care and concern for one another – all these are possible only when people learn to lead a selfless God-centered life.

Such a life awakens the dormant love in our hearts that manifests as respect for elders, compassion for the youngers, friendliness towards equals, surrender to the laws of God that matures as love for God and towards all.
