Over six decades of its life, the Bhavan has been steadfastly endeavouring to hold fast to the fundamental values of life and has been fostering these values, reintegrating them with new elements suited to modern conditions.

This is being accomplished through its 230 and odd constituent institutions and departments through its centers spread all over India and abroad numbering 107, through its publications exceeding 1500 titles (with sales crossing 30 millions) including its monumental eleven volume history series, The History and Culture of the Indian People which have acquired world recognition, through its public libraries, through its journals in different languages, through the Sanskrit and Gita Examinations for which over 40,000 students appear every year from 550 centres, through management-staff, student-teacher dialogue, through cultural and educational tours and through All-India Colloquia, Seminars, Symposia, Lectures and Discourses on subjects of ethical and spiritual importance and through its monumental project for correlating ancient insights to modern discoveries in the fields of science, technology, life and health sciences and human values.

The Bhavan firmly believes that revitalizing ancient values and reintegrating them to suit the changing needs of modern times alone will give people the strength to assimilate whatever is good in the new, without being swept away from their traditional moorings.

The Bhavan believes that there are elements in all cultures which transcends all barriers and knits people together. Its ideal is: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: "The world is One Family." Its motto is Aa no bhadraah kratavo yantu vishwatah: "Let noble thoughts come to us from every side."

In furtherance of its aim of carrying India's message to the world over, the Bhavan set up Centers in London (U.K.), New York (U.S.A.), Lisbon (Portugal) and Durban (South Africa). Plans are afoot to start Centres in Geneva, Switzerland, Singapore and Tokyo.
