The Tej Gyan Foundation

The Tej Gyan Foundation (TGF) is an Indian spiritual and humanitarian organization established in 1999 by Sirshree, an enlightened spiritual teacher and author. Headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, the foundation operates as a 100% volunteer-driven non-profit with more than 7,000 self-driven volunteers from all walks of life. Its mission is to create a highly evolved society through all-round self-development of every individual, transforming all facets of life. The motto 'Happy Thoughts' encapsulates its aim: thoughts of self-realization that motivate one to transcend ordinary thinking and raise collective consciousness. TGF's core offerings include a distinctive 'System for Wisdom' that guides seekers from self-help to self-realization to self-stabilization. It conducts meditation retreats, spiritual discourses, and transformative programs at its Manan Ashram, which features a 'Peace Hall' where Sirshree imparts timeless wisdom. The foundation also runs a Center of Humanity to promote the understanding that 'the world is one family.' Sirshree has authored more than 450 books available in multiple languages, including ten Indian languages as well as Polish and Russian, which serve as key vehicles for the teachings. TGF holds the distinction of being the first spiritual organization to receive ISO 9001:2015 certification, underscoring its commitment to structured, quality-assured spiritual education. Its teachings emphasize that 'everything is a game of beliefs' and that understanding is the key to liberation. The foundation actively encourages collective efforts to elevate global consciousness and transcends cultural and religious boundaries, fostering unity among seekers worldwide. Major events include the Silver Jubilee Dhyan Mahotsav, celebrating 25 years of spiritual bliss with a meditation challenge. TGF remains a private, non-profit entity with no commercial listings, operating primarily in India but reaching an international audience through its website and translated publications.

The Tej Gyan Foundation was established in 1999 by Sirshree, an enlightened spiritual teacher and author. Sirshree's spiritual quest began during his childhood and led him through various schools of thought and meditation practices. The overpowering desire to attain the Truth made him relinquish his teaching job. After a long period of contemplation, his spiritual quest culminated in the attainment of the ultimate Truth. He realized that the lack of Understanding was the missing link in all paths leading to Truth, and he formulated the teaching that 'Everything is a game of beliefs. Understanding is the whole thing.' Founded with the mission of creating a highly evolved society through all-round self-development of every individual, TGF adopted the motto 'Happy Thoughts' to represent thoughts of self-realization that motivate one to get rid of all other thoughts and raise collective consciousness. The foundation grew as a 100% volunteer organization, eventually attracting more than 7,000 self-driven volunteers from all walks of life. A distinctive 'System for Wisdom' was developed to guide seekers on an effortless journey from self-help to self-realization to self-stabilization. TGF established Manan Ashram, which features a 'Peace Hall' where Sirshree imparts timeless wisdom. The ashram's name, MaNaN, represents the Hindi syllables M-N-N, expanded as MahaNirvaanNirmaan, denoting the mission of raising collective consciousness. TGF also established a Center of Humanity to awaken the understanding that 'the world is one family.' Sirshree's writings became a major vehicle for the teachings, with more than 450 books available in multiple languages, including ten Indian languages and some in Polish and Russian. TGF holds the distinction of being the first spiritual organization to receive ISO 9001:2015 certification. The foundation continues to promote collective efforts to elevate global consciousness, transcending cultural and religious boundaries. In recent years, it celebrated its Silver Jubilee with the Dhyan Mahotsav, marking 25 years of spiritual activity.
