Gayatri Pariwar U.S.A

Gayatri Pariwar U.S.A. is an integral part of the world-wide Gayatri Pariwar movement, founded by Yugrishi Sri Ram Sharma Acharya and Mata Bhagawati Devi Sharma. Gayatri Pariwar is a spiritual movement that regenerates the highest human values around the world. Gayatri Pariwar (India) was founded in 1940 in order to uplift the oppressed in India and to rejuvenate divinity among its people.

Based on the principle of “Giving is the law of the Universe” (Yagya) and Wisdom (Vivek), Gayatri Pariwar U.S.A. in Washington DC is dedicated to ‘Serve God in Man’.

We want to usher in a new way of living based on Gayatri Mantra in order to inspire divine culture by improving individuals, families and the beautiful Earth.
