The Essence of Indian Philanthropy: Yajna and R̥na
Central to our philosophy of philanthropy are two timeless concepts deeply ingrained in Indian civilization—Yajna and R̥na.
Yajna and R̥na embodies acts of gratitude, connection, and giving. It is a profound expression of gratitude, acknowledging our indebtedness to nature, the divine, and society. From the majestic Rajasuya Yajnas of the Kings to the Pancha Maha Yajnas of the laymen, Yajna exemplifies the spirit of selfless giving, a tradition upheld by the wealthy and commoners alike.
Philanthropy is a way to recognise that our wealth is a resource to benefit others. Our philanthropic endeavours serve as a testament to our commitment to give back and invest in a brighter future for all.
