PrashantAdvait Foundation (PAF) is an Indian non-profit organization founded in 2015 by Acharya Prashant, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. The foundation promotes self-awareness, spiritual inquiry, and inner transformation through teachings based on Advaita Vedanta and classical scriptures. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The PrashantAdvait Foundation operates as a registered non-profit entity headquartered in India. It serves as a platform for disseminating Acharya Prashant’s teachings, which emphasize the practical application of spiritual wisdom from the Upanishads [5] [6] , the Bhagavad Gita [7] , and Vedanta philosophy in modern life. [8] [9]
Through public lectures, workshops, and online learning programs, the foundation encourages individuals to develop critical thinking and self-inquiry by questioning societal conditioning, consumerism, and rigid belief systems. [10]
The organization is also involved in animal rights [11] , Veganism, and environmental sustainability initiatives [8] , reflecting Acharya Prashant’s holistic view of compassion and ecological responsibility. [12] [13]
The foundation conducts public lectures, spiritual retreats, and annual educational events such as the Vedanta Mahotsav at IIT Delhi [14] [15] [16] . It has also organized large-scale scripture-based examinations, including what was reported as the largest Bhagavad Gita exam in India. [17]
In 2025, PrashantAdvait Foundation partnered with PVR INOX Limited [18] , one of India’s leading cinema chains, to host live sessions and discourses by Acharya Prashant in theatres across several Indian cities. [19] [20] [21]
