About us
Dharma Raksha Sangha is dedicated to nurturing a living connection to Sanātana Dharma through direct experience, structured learning, and community dialogue. We focus on three pillars of action:
सदाशिव समारम्भां शङ्कराचार्य मध्यमाम्।
अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्तां वन्दे गुरु परम्पराम्॥
Transliteration: sadāśiva samārambhāṃ śaṅkarācārya madhyamām।
asmadācārya paryantāṃ vande guru paramparām॥
Meaning: “I salute the lineage of Gurus, starting from Lord Sadashiva, through Adi Shankaracharya, and ending with my own Guru.”
Vision
To empower every individual to live a meaningful life guided by Dharma and Karma, rooted in inner clarity and purposeful action.
Mission
To support individuals in harmonising worldly responsibilities with spiritual fulfilment through the study, reflection, and application of Sanātana Dharma.
Core Values
Authenticity of Knowledge
We remain faithful to the original wisdom of the Upaniṣads, guided by lineage-based (guru-śiṣya paramparā) teachings.
Living Dhārmic Virtues
We strive to embody the values of Maitrī (friendliness), Karuṇā (compassion) and Muditā (delight in others growth) in all interactions.
Threefold Path to Wisdom
We pursue true understanding through Śravaṇa (deep listening), Manana (contemplation), and Nididhyāsana (inner assimilation and meditation).
Founding Story:
Dharma Rakṣā Saṅgha was founded by Jagdish Bramta. Jagdish-ji has been a lifelong student of Sanātana Dharma with over 30 years of leadership experience as a consultant across the technology, finance, logistics, infrastructure and the pharma/chemical sectors – always using the knowledge base of Sanatana Dharma Shastra. He has not only studied Sanatan at the renowned Chinmaya Sandeepani Ashram but has practiced that knowledge in his daily life. Now based in Switzerland, he shares Dhārmic wisdom through Vedānta talks, cultural initiatives, and community-building efforts.
It was through divine grace and a few sincere seekers that a focused collective has gradually emerged — professionals committed to self-growth, scriptural study (śāstra), and service came together united by the common purpose of living a Dharmic life. From this, Dharma Rakṣā Saṅgha was born.
The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, stirred the Saṅgha into unified action. Out of pain was born purpose. The group conceived a novel idea: a Peace Protest that speaks against the violence and names its perpetrators but also honours the resilience of the Hindu spirit and showcases the profound contributions of Hindus to the world—past and present. This event was the first conducted by the Verein.
