Thought Transformation
Gurudev, Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya, realized that the goal of bringing heaven on Earth and making 21st Century – Bright Future, can only be attained by inculcating divinity in the thoughts of people. Therefore, he started the Thought Transformation Movement (TTM). Some of the tools and techniques of the TTM include:
Three Means of Spiritual Awakening: (1) Upasana (Contemplating on divine virtues); (2) Sadhana (Practicing self-control for acquiring divine virtues); (3) Aradhana (Using acquired
resources for the welfare of the society)
Propagation of Gayatri (collective wisdom) and Yagya (cooperative virtuous demeanor)
Yoga, Meditation and Alternate Healing
Huge volume of constructive thoughts on every aspect of human life written by Gurudev (equivalent to 100,000 pages of encyclopedia Britannica size books)
Three pronged approach: (1) Advertising

material resources) – The volunteers donate a part of their resources (for example in earlier days every volunteer donated 10 paisa and one fist-full grains every day) for fulfilling the material needs of this Movement.
