Empowering Women through Inner Transformation and Outer Development

Reviving Vedic Wisdom for Resilient, Thriving Himalayan Communities

Our Mission

At the Himalayan Devis Project, our mission is to revive Vedic Knowledge and empower Himalayan women through inner transformation, sustainable agriculture, and local economic development.

We integrate Transcendental Meditation (TM), the advanced TM-Sidhi program, and wellness training with skills development in organic farming, food processing, and cottage industries.

Our focus is on creating spaces for vedic education, collective meditation, capacity-building, and local enterprise in Himalayan villages.

Our 3 Pillars

Inner Development

Through the Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi programs, women discover deep inner calm, mental clarity, and resilience - awakening the strength to lead and inspire their communities.

Sustainability

Hands-on training transforms local resources - Himalayan herbs, grains, and traditional crafts - into quality products that generate income, preserve heritage, and bring self-sufficiency to village women.

Community

Planned community centers will be living hubs for meditation, learning, skill development, health services, and cultural celebration - ensuring the project’s benefits grow and endure for generations.

Our Vision

We recognize that the women of the Himalayas are the natural anchors of culture, health, and family life. Yet economic instability, lack of access to training, and migration pressures have disrupted this balance. Many families have been forced to leave their ancestral lands in search of opportunity, and ancient knowledge systems - once lived and practiced -have slowly faded from daily life. Our vision is of flourishing Himalayan communities led by confident, skilled women who preserve cultural heritage, safeguard health, and cultivate prosperity for generations to come.

Women leading change

Each woman trained becomes a catalyst for community transformation. Through simple, scientifically validated practices of consciousness, they discover peace within—and begin to lead with clarity, resilience, and joy. At the same time, they grow crops, create products, and manage enterprises that generate income and dignity for themselves and their families.

This is our vision of holistic rural development—where ancient knowledge meets modern need, and women rise as changemakers at the heart of village life.

Supporting Key CSR Focus Areas

Gender Equality & Women Empowerment

The Himalayan Devis Project supports the inner and outer development of women in remote Himalayan villages. Through daily group meditation and Vedic knowledge, women cultivate emotional resilience, mental clarity, and self-confidence.

In parallel, they are trained to process and package local products—such as herbs, grains, and crafts—for sale, creating paths to financial independence and entrepreneurship. This holistic approach empowers women as leaders in their families and communities.

Rural Development Projects

The project includes the construction of community centers designed to accommodate 700–1000 women. These spaces serve as hubs for group meditation, skill-building, and product processing.

They will foster unity, spiritual well-being, and economic activity in underserved areas, laying the foundation for sustainable rural development driven by local women.

Promoting Health Care (including Preventive Care)

Our upcoming community centers are envisioned as wellness spaces that will include visits from trained Vaidyas (Ayurvedic doctors) and the provision of preventive healthcare services.

This includes Ayurvedic consultations, child and maternal health support, and education on natural lifestyle practices —all rooted in time-tested Vedic health systems, accessible to Himalayan women and children.

Protection of National Heritage, Arts & Culture

The project helps preserve India’s cultural heritage by reviving Vedic and Garhwali traditions. We organize Vedic ceremonies with trained Pandits, provide instruments for Bhajan groups, and support women in practicing and sharing traditional arts, crafts, and rituals—keeping ancient culture alive while creating meaningful livelihoods.

Our reach

Already, hundreds of villages have been reached, with over 40,000 women participating in programs that enhance both wellbeing and livelihood. The ripple effect is visible in better health, stronger families, greater creativity and awakened aspirations.
