Mission Statement

Sringeri Vidya Bharati Foundation (SVBF) is established as an international extension of the ancient Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri, Karnataka State, India.

It is incorporated as a non-profit religious and charitable organization in the USA. The Foundation functions under the direct guidance of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya, His Holiness Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham.

The Foundation’s Sringeri Sadhana Center was established on a 35-acre property in the scenic lush green Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania at Stroudsburg. The foundation is registered in the State of New Jersey with its offices at 5 Yates Dr., East Brunswick, NJ 08816.

It comprises a shrine for Sri Ganesha, Sri Sharada, and Sri Adi Sankara, and a Sadhana Center for the understanding and propagation of our philosophy and values.

SVBF is extremely committed to foster our Sanatana Dharma among global communities in general, and in the Continental United States in particular.

SVBF requests your generous support to sustain the temple and its activities. Your donations help continue this sacred mission.

The focus of Sanatana Dharma over the centuries has always been peace and harmony among all of nature’s creations.

Every practitioner of this Dharma owes it to Sri Adi Sankara for His contributions in the reestablishment of this ancient tradition.

Sri Sharada as the Goddess of Learning, Sri Adi Sankara as the spiritual teacher, and Sri Maha Ganapati as the meaning of Pranava grace our Shrine. His Holiness, the Jagadguru Sankaracharya from Sringeri, guides us in accomplishing our mission.

Our biggest assets are the inspiration and blessings of His Holiness and our volunteers and supporters. You can be a part of the global family of Adi Sankara’s disciples by extending your support to the cause of our Foundation.
