The Institute 'SAKSI' was started in 1997 with the aim of disseminating the wisdom in the ancient Veda Samhita and related books such as Upanishads, so that the knowledge becomes easily accessible to all interested persons who are not necessarily knowledgeable in Sanskrit or even the Devanagari script. Most of the existing English translations of the Veda Samhita view the books as anthropological and ritualistic curiosities rather than as books of wisdom. Even though Hinduism contains many important religious books of later times, the wisdom of the Vedic age is relevant even today.

The first and foremost aspect of this work is the preparation of relevant material. For this purpose SAKSI has undertaken the task of publishing books in various formats i.e. small, medium and voluminous. As the contents of these publications are unique, the readers need some background to understand them, to cater to which SAKSI is conducting workshops, conferences and lectures in various places.

Our institute draws its inspiration from the great spiritual savants and scholars, Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950), The Mother (1878-1973), Sri Kapali Sastry (1886-1953) and Sri Madhav Paņdit (1918-1993). Their well-Known books emphasize the need for harmonizing both the 'spiritual' and 'worldly' aspects of our life. We have to take seriously the notion 'All is Brahmaņ'. We should become conscious of every act or thought in us so that we can indeed lead a beautiful and harmonious life
