About Us

HARI is a greenfield deemed-to-be university, sponsored by the Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation and approved by the Government of India under UGC's Distinct Category — a designation reserved for institutions that offer a genuinely unprecedented academic model.

Located at Kanha Shanti Vanam, we bring together modern scientific excellence, interdisciplinary education, ethical awareness, and holistic human development. Our academic model spans agriculture, engineering and technology, management and entrepreneurship, philosophy and the arts, while encouraging students to learn across traditional disciplinary boundaries..

We embed research into the student experience from the beginning, with work spanning consciousness and inner sciences, regenerative agriculture, artificial intelligence, ecological restoration, and human performance. At our heart is a simple ambition: to develop graduates who are not only academically and professionally capable, but also thoughtful, responsible, and guided by a deeper sense of purpose.

Message from our Founder

Namaste.

HARI is a vision that is close to my heart — the establishment of HARI is India's first greenfield, privately sponsored deemed-to-be university approved by the Government of India under UGC's Distinct Category. This institution is not just an educational endeavour; it is a crucible for the fusion of ancient Indian wisdom with the most advanced modern technologies.

Our aim is to create a unique educational environment where subjects like agriculture, engineering, management, and philosophy are imbued with the timeless knowledge of India's rich cultural heritage. The principles that have guided our civilisation for millennia are not relics of the past — they are living insights into the most pressing challenges of our time.

Our philosophy is simple yet profound — to nurture individuals who are not only academically accomplished but also morally upright and spiritually awakened. We envision our graduates as leaders who contribute positively to society, guided by a sense of purpose and an understanding of their place in the larger cosmos.

HARI is our commitment to creating a future where education is a harmonious blend of the old and the new — where students are equipped to face the challenges of the modern world while remaining anchored in the wisdom of the past.

I invite you to be part of this endeavour. It is, I believe, a significant milestone in the evolution of higher education — not just in India, but for the world.
