Guided by Dr. Yogi Vikashananda
Dr. Vikashananda is the founder of the Manokranti Movement, a philosophy advocating a “revolution of the mind” as the pathway to personal and global transformation. “Manokranti,” meaning mental revolution, emphasizes that true change begins within. Through practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, individuals can achieve a state of “supernatural mental bliss,” fostering personal growth and societal transformation.
