WHO WE ARE?

History of Triveni Sangam

Triveni Sangam, London was established in 1996 to teach Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation to local community to help them improve their health. Triveni Sangam is a non-profit making organisation. After paying the rent and administration costs all the profit made goes to the charities.

Projects under the banner of Triveni Sangam anywhere in the world use the same Logo, Ethos and Principles. Everyone connected with Triveni Sangam should understand that the Head of the Mission is Shri Lord Krishna and follow the principles of the organisation.

What does Triveni Sangam mean?

Triveni means three and Sangam means unite, join, connect. Wherever three things unite, whether it is the union of body, mind and soul; thoughts, actions and speech; or the union of knowledge, action(Karma) and devotion; or morals, manner and conduct; or the union of truth, love and compassion, it makes us want to get up and do something for the people who are less fortunate than us. If we act bearing this in mind then we are on the right path of spirituality, of knowing our true identity.

When we buy a television, a fridge a mobile etc., we receive an operating manual with it but when a human being is born he is born without a manual. Shri Krishna teaches us how to lead our lives through His song, Shrimad Bhagvad Gita.

Yog means to unite – so whatever I do, I do with full presence of body, mind (awareness) and faith, whether it is paid work or voluntary work. True service should be done without any desires or expectations (Nishkam karma).

What qualities should a person possess?

Understanding between the truth and untruth; between food and hunger; between necessary and unnecessary; between need and desire. It is called Vivek Buddhi.
Our power of wealth, physical strength, knowledge and skills should be used for the good of people who are less fortunate than us.
Our behaviour, thoughts, speech, actions and relationships should be always genuine.
To gain the right spiritual knowledge we should read scriptures, keep company of people who can enhance our spiritual knowledge and seek right guidance of learned Guru.
Gaining knowledge on its own is no good, you must put that knowledge into practice.

"All work of Triveni Sangam is based on the following quotes"

"The power of God is with you at all times through the activities of mind, senses breathing and emotions, He is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere instrument."

Shrimad Bhagvad Gita

"Stand up, be bold, be strong, take the whole responsibility on your shoulders and know that you are the creator of your own destiny."

Swami Vivekananda
