Mission Padmashree Foundation

          The mission of the Padmashree Foundation is to enable the spiritual upliftment of humanity by spreading the message of universal love, compassion, and peace through the practice of prayer, meditation, and selfless service.

          His Holiness left home when he was 18 to embrace the life of a monk and seek spiritual knowledge. After 15 years of penance and meditation in the Himalaya, he returned to the world to impart his knowledge and spread his message.

          In 2005, His Holiness's supporters established the Padmashree Foundation to carry on his activities in the United States of America. The Foundation conducts prayers, meditation retreats, and other service and community activites that provide a living example of His Holiness's message.
