Research and Development Foundation for Integral Humanism

According to Indian ethos, a man is born out of the integration of an individual, society, nature and the Almighty. According to them, a human being is neither an individual alone, nor is he a complete society, nor do they believe in the conflict of an individual versus society. It is neither a physical entity nor spiritual alone. The human being expresses the union of both these two. It is, therefore, imperative to understand the true meaning of a human being. Only then can we work for and measure his happiness.

Deendayal Upadhyaya tried to comprehend and articulate the true meaning of the ‘human being’ on the basis of India’s thought process. In this churning came out the philosophy of ‘Integral Humanism’. Deendayalji explained this internal churning of vyashti (individual) and samashti (society) through education, action, yogakshem and yajna. There indeed is a need to delve further into it. And this is the only way to free ourselves from the cobweb of western political process.

The Research and Development Foundation for Integral Humanism is an attempt to keep this churning on.
