Shri Ram Chandra Mission www.sahajmarg.org
is situated in Thumkunta
SRCM was registered in India in the year 1945. The Mission is a non-profit spiritual organization in India, and in all the countries where it is registered.
Over the years, the Mission has grown enormously, and now has more than 1000 centres in India, and is present in 90 countries spread over all the continents. The Mission now has more than 200,000 abhyasis worldwide practising the Sahaj Marg system of meditation.
The Mission does not charge any fees of any kind for this spiritual training.
The Mission is the skeleton around which the spiritual edifice of the Mission is built. As such, it is meant to be virtually invisible, but must nevertheless support the spiritual work of the Master, and provide the services that are required by the abhyasis.
The current president of the Mission is Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, affectionately known as Chariji.
Instruction in Meditation: Instructors, called preceptors, provide introductory, one-on-one meditation instruction for all practitioners, ongoing individual meditation sessions, and support for spiritual growth and understanding.

Retreat Centers and Meditation Halls: There are many meditation halls and centers around the world to accommodate the growing number of spiritual seekers and those wishing to add spiritual values to their lives. Many offer overnight accommodations for members of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
The Sahaj Marg Research and Training Institute: SMRTI is involved in research to enhance our understanding of the goal of human perfection. Activities include classes, study groups, youth programs, training programs, publications, research into the benefits of meditation, and conferences and seminars about spirituality.
