"Life is a waste unless we know the
objective of life.
Is breathing air in and out life?
Is giving birth to children life?
Is accumulating wealth life?
Is running around perplexed life?
Is being busy all the time life?
Is old age, shakiness of body, disease, ignorance, shortages, pains and sorrows life?
When we do not know the objective of our life then we are like those animals who wander around aimlessly compelled by an unknown force. Who themselves do not know on which path they are standing. They themselves do not know where the journey will end and what is their aim.
When the path is unknown then walking on the path is like walking like a blind man.
When we do not know the formula of living a happy life, when we do not have the knowledge and philosophy, then how can we call this life as life?
We are only carrying our dead body on our shoulders and walking continuously, for a moment we have not thought whether we have raised our life above that of animal life?
Have we understood the objective of our life?
Do we know our destination?
Do we know the path on which we are standing?
We have never thought.
We have accepted the enjoyment and suffering as life, we have accepted that breathing is life.
Life is that for which we have the formula in our hands.
Life is that of which we know the crux, in the language of the society and language of science we are living, but according to the scriptures we are dead.
Because according to the great ancient Indian scriptures, a person who is not conscious, who is ignorant of who am I? Where I am going? Where I have to reach? That person is dead.
Till the time we understand the crux of life, the philosophy of life, in real terms we are not living."

Initiation Into Sanatan Dharma
Where Does the Journey into Sanatan Dharma Begin?
In today’s world are countless Gurus on the internet. Countless practices are being sold. There are also countless pictures of Hindu Gods, yantras and other materials available in the market. There are also thousands of ancient Hindu scriptures available.
A true seeker is therefore confused and asks
“Where do I begin?”
True understanding of Sanatan Dharma starts with
Self-Realization
Understanding Life itself.
Before learning mantras, yoga, or meditation, one must first know:
Who am I?
Why was this existence created?
What governs this existence?
What is my role in it?
At Uma Kailash Foundation, we bring you the only structured, scientific path that begins from these fundamentals —
the true foundation of Sanatan Dharma
and leads step by step toward
SELF REALIZATION.
Start with the FREE SELF REALIZATION COURSE
The first and most essential step in the complete understanding of Sanatan Dharma.
Our Approach to the
Sanatan Education
We would like to inform the readers that our approach to teaching of Sanatan Dharma is a deviation from conventional expectations.
Do not expect a bearded Guru with a broad tilak on the forehead, with saffron clothes and asking you to join an ashram or giving grand discourses or telling you stories from the scriptures.
The promoter of Uma Kailash Foundation is a qualified Engineer from a premier institute in India.
Having studied more than 600 scriptures we have not found a single instance in any text which ask you to wear broad tilaks, beards or even saffron clothes. Neither has our Guru ever asked us to do the same. Yes, Guru chadar is recommended during practice, simple tilak is recommended, certain sadhanas require white, yellow, red or even black clothing while performing the sadhanas.
Our focus is more on authentic knowledge from scriptures. As you all educated would understand gathering of knowledge does not require wearing any of the external garbs. In fact, the teachings dissuade from display of ornamental external wear.
The formal process starts with the Self-Realization Course followed by Guru Diksha.
Conventions
Conventionally what is being done by the most is starting to make the students study scriptures after scriptures. However, in this manner the student may not arrive at the crux of the knowledge soon. It may take years if at all the crux is arrived upon.
In Shrimad Bhagwad Gita Bhagwan Krishna has clearly said that it is important to understand the crux. If the thirst can be quenched by a bowl of water there is no need to go to the lake.
After studying and analysing hundreds of scriptures over the last fifty years or so, the promoter has arrived upon the most fundamental concepts and principles essential to be understood. For any concept the confirmations have been arrived upon taking reference from a number of scriptures.
The promoter himself being a qualified Electrical & Electronics Engineer is bringing you the crux from a scientific point of view, and not as a belief system
The promoter has also not followed any conventional and traditional system of understanding Sanatan Dharma under any specific school. Therefore, the promoter is not under the influence of dogmatic preaching, but his own assimilation of the knowledge is original and direct from the scriptures and blessings of the Guru.
The formal education starts with Self-Realization.
Home as the Place of Study
We do not recommend and ask you to run to distant places or ashrams or expensive retreats and spend loads of money and time into traveling.
But to gather knowledge sitting in your own sweet home anywhere in the world. There is no better place to gather knowledge than the seclusion of your own home.
In the past times and even now there have been and there are sages who would proceed to the forests for sadhanas. But that is at a highly advanced stage. To start with one need not go into all this.
The most important aspect is to know more and gather more of knowledge. The practices also we recommend shall be done at home, living within your present personal and professional life as it is.
Where & How to Start
There is also a confusion in the minds of seekers as to which ancient texts to start to study.
This also we have simplified by presenting you with a course on Understanding Life or Self-Realization. In this we shall present the core concepts. Most of these concepts would be absolutely new to you. You will be amazed how these core concepts have been sidelined and focus has become more on external adornment and story telling in the present times. Even the most popular and followed Gurus on the internet have never even talked about these concepts.
Within this course we shall continue to recommend books and publishers and specific chapters to read and gather more knowledge. Many of these books are now available as free downloads and for that also we would recommend specific websites. Those more eager can also buy the books from the market or online.
The promoter being an engineer is with a science background, therefore, his research into ancient texts has always been with a scientific reasoning.
Today the world requires reasoning and especially a scientific explanation to all concepts. This scientific approach is the basis of all that we shall be delivering in our courses.
At certain places the scientific concepts are advanced and complex.
In such situations the readers with non-science background are recommended to do some online research to understand better.
Sanātana Dharma encompasses diverse disciplines.
While foundational principles and practices are universal.
Advanced procedures are prescribed selectively, according to readiness and responsibility.
This platform follows such principle.
