Welcome
The Jyotirnidhi Nyasa Trust is a charitable organisation committed to the advancement of education in Vedic philosophy and the Sanskrit language. The Trust has commissioned this calligraphic Devanāgarī font to assist those who wish to study the Sanskrit language and those who wish to share or publish their work.
A Legacy of Light
JYOTI means light. ‘Nidhi’ is a treasure-house. ‘Nyasa’ means a pledge.
The Trust is therefore a pledge to the treasure-house of light.
The Trust Deed
The trust deed begins with the statement of belief:
a. that, whilst this century has been witness to many scientific achievements, marvellous discoveries and inventions, it has also witnessed philosophic uncertainty and moral decline;
b. that the Vedic scriptures and philosophical teachings of ancient India and the Sanskrita language have offered and continue to offer answers to the spiritual and moral questions of our time;
c. that the centres of teaching and learning in these subjects in India today require support and maintenance if they are to continue to nourish the West.
The Purpose of the Trust
Supporting the Study and Preservation of Vedic Wisdom
The Jyotirnidhi Nyasa Trust is a charitable organisation committed to the advancement of education in Vedic philosophy and the Sanskrit language. The Trust has commissioned this calligraphic Devanāgarī font to assist those who wish to study the Sanskrit language and those who wish to share or publish their work.
To advance education in Vedic philosophy and the Sanskrit language in India and elsewhere and for such other charitable purposes in connection with the Vedic philosophy and the Sanskrita language including the relief of poverty and sickness among the followers of the said philosophy and students of the said language as the Trustees may see fit. A Trust in similar terms was set up in India at the same time so that payments can be made to it from the UK. Shri Vasudevananda Saraswati is the Chairman of the Indian Trust.
Make a Donation
Following the direction given by Shri Vasudevananda Saraswati to the School in February last year, the Trust has decided to use its energy and resources to support the teaching of Sanskrit, particularly to children.
To that end we are reopening our appeal for donations and encouraging the generosity which was present until the recent Indian blockage prevented our donations reaching the Ashram.
