	SRI NARAHARI SEVA : A Temple for Sri Lakshmi Narasimha
The human life according to Sanatana Dharma is essentially divine in nature. The Rishis, who were great thinkers and the torch-bearers of the Vedic wisdom designed many wonderful things that can remind the human beings of their innate divinity and help them reclaim the same. One such a thing is the Temple, a unique place, where the human beings can develop themselves spiritually to realise their divine nature, assisted by the natural ambience, in turn to experience the Almighty. Vishvakshema proposes to construct a beautiful temple strictly according to the scriptural injunctions, for Lord Shree LakshmiNarasimha, the presiding deity of the organization. The studies in our culture and heritage are never considered to be complete without a proper knowledge about the aesthetic, scientific and natural attributes of Temple worship.

	VYASA : Preserving and Propagating the Ancient Knowledge Systems
The Vedas and Upanishads are considered to be the fountainhead of knowledge and wisdom and the foundation of the Indian culture and civilization. They are the very basis of Sanatana Dharma. While many ancient civilizations have perished, the Sanatana Dharma has stood the test of the time and has been functioning amidst so many foreign invasions, political upheavals and cultural shocks. By what strange social alchemy could India overcome all these obstacles? It is the Vedic Civilization, Culture, Religion, Language and Philosophical Systems, which permeated through the veins and nerves of the Indian society that virtually kept our Sanatana Dharma growing and maintain its stature till today. VYASA is the project conceived by VISHVAKSHEMA, where short term and long tem courses will be conducted for different age groups in the area of Vedic studies, Sanskrit studies, and studies in Ramayana, Mahabarata, Bhagavad Gita, Agamas, other Puranas and Dharma Shastras, Yoga, Stotra Literature etc., along with well structured course materials. The courses will be designed in such a way to enable the learners to teach the same for others in future, thus propagating the knowledge systems. These courses will be designed as in-house as well as distance-learning programs. The organization is seriously involved in preparing the base work towards taking up a project called, “Veda Rakshana” to record all the four Vedas ensuring the correct intonation and the perfect way of recitation, from the most authentic sources, from all over India and make it available for the public in CD-ROMs as well as cassettes, with proper English interpretations. The vital reason to take up this project is to preserve the Vedic tradition in all its perfection. Video-graphing of all the Vedic rituals along with the Mantras is also under process with the highest intention of preserving the ancient knowledge systems.

AGNI : Performing Yajnas for the Universal Welfare, Peace and Prosperity

Performance of Homa/Yajna/Havan is a unique system ordained by the Vedic Rishis whereby the Gods are propitiated and worshipped through Agni, the Fire God and in turn get blessed by the Gods for a life of prosperity, good health, happiness and all round success. In VISHVAKSHEMA, everyday, Homa is performed for Lord Shree Lakshmi Narasimha praying for everybody’s welfare. One of the in-house members of the organization does this Homa for an hour and half, in the yajnashala at a stipulated time. Along with this Nitya Homa, Once a month, a special Homa is performed on the day of Svati Star, which is performed by 5 to 6 persons and many people participate in this monthly Homa.

A separate Yajnashala will be constructed in the campus to perform this Nitya Homa, and other various rituals like Agnihotra etc. according to the Vedic prescriptions, praying for the peace and prosperity of the whole world. The ancient most rituals prescribed by the Vedas, Agamas and Puranas will be revived again to bring back the ancient glory of India. Small students as well as interested and qualified people will be trained to perform these rituals. These rituals gradually will be started in various parts of the country, aiming towards the betterment of the whole world.

	PATANJALI: Centre for Yoga
Yoga, a unique science developed by the ancient Rishis of India, is increasingly becoming popular in the recent times. The medical world has started realising the benefits of Yoga in all walks of human life. Yoga, which was once upon a time, a very natural process of day to day living and a house hold name in India, now has become a difficult process to learn, due to unavailability of authentic and qualified Yoga teachers. The Patanjali centre for Yoga will conduct regular Yoga programs for all age groups and also train interested people to become Yoga teachers with a sound knowledge of Yoga shastras. The corporate world too has started realising the benefits of yoga system which has resulted in number of Yoga training programs for the employees of the companies.
