| PREACHING PARTIES The lofty ideals of the Indian culture and its traditional heritage are forgotten by Indians today, both at home and abroad. For preaching such ideals within the country, the Sangha has formed seven parties consisting of highly educated and spiritually advanced Sannyasins. These preaching parties move from door to door in villages and towns in various states throught the year organizing meetings and conferences, Vedic Yagnas and other spiritual services to infuse people with the age-old ideals and reminding them of their glorious past so that they may strive for a better life of dedication and service. These monks also collect funds for maintaining the various activities of the Sangha and this they do by conventional means of the Indian monks, that is collecting alms. MISSIONARY WORK IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES As for the Indians living overseas, the necessity for such preaching was more keenly felt. Isolated from the main stream of Indian life the Indians domiciled in foreign countries were fast becoming anglicized and were getting adrift. Moreover, propagating the message of Indian culture and philosophy among the people of the world was also a sacred need. The Great Emperor Ashoka, felt this need and organized several cultural missions even during the days of foreign domination. After the attainmaint of Independence, the Sangha deputed several such missions to the east African states, West Indies, South America, England, Malayasia, Indonesia, Nepal and other countries in the far east. Moreover the Sangha has established associate religious and cultural centres in Trinidad, Guyana, New York, Canada and UK. These centres working there are run by Indian and local monks of the Sangha and also by the local devotees initiated to the Sangha's spiritual order. |

| EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS The Sangha maintains within the country in urban and rural areas nearly one hundred educational institutions like primary schools,night schools, junior basic schools, junior high schools and colleges. The main function of these schools is to impart true education which makes real man and builds powerful nation. |
 |
| Several Secondary Schools and students' homes, where students along with normal education learn spiritual and moral lessons, are also maintained. Here the students are trained to learn dignity of labour and the fundamental principles of human life. In these institutions they are to undergo the life of a Brahmachari and practice penance, austerity, meditation etc. |
| The sangha also orginizes Siksa and Sanskrity Sanmelans throught the year in various schools and colleges in different parts of the country where seminars and symposiums are held, lectures and discourses are arranged. These are attended by eminent educationists and spiritually advanced monks who have personified the ideals of India's great tradition in themselves. A number of books have been published with a view to creating a moral and spiritual atmosphere among the students reminding them of India's proud heritage and infusing in them a spirit of dedication and service. |
