The Sanatan Society websites, now counting over 1000 pages, are an initiative of the students of Harish Johari, who left his body on the 20th of August 1999. Harish Johari was a famous author, artist and teacher, often called the Ayurveda Renaissance Man. This because he succeeded in clarifying the meaning of the ancient Indian Vedic and Tantric traditions today without loosing touch to the core of these teachings.

The objective of Sanatan Society is to create and maintain an Internet platform that helps people to continue to study, apply and teach the Indian Vedic and Tantric traditions as he did. Sanatan Society does not wish to concentrate on his glorification, not in the least because he would not have accepted such delusion. Nevertheless, the Sanatan Society sites are dedicated to him. Not only because the idea originally was his, but also because in continuing his work his students feel to fulfil the real debt to the teacher, which is to pass through the teaching.

While sanatansociety.org is a factual non-profit association of former students of Harish Johari, sanatansociety.com is a commercial networking organisation aiming at the support of those students, of which many have become valuable teachers, artists and authors themselves. The Sanatan Society websites provide you with a lot of valuable free information, free wallpapers, free recipes, mantras in mp3, etc…. They also lead you to a limited number of high quality products. While the sites could easily offer hundreds of books, tapes, posters, etc… Sanatan Society chooses to limit itself to those products that they believe are of the highest value.

The promotion of seminars and workshops through the Sanatan website is without charge to the teachers, because such teaching is seen as the most valuable and should be limited by financial burdens as little as possible.

So if you want to get a good insight into the basics of the age-old Indian traditions or are looking for some free new computer wallpaper, a mantra that starts whenever you start your computer, a real Ayurvedic recipe etc… www.sanatansociety.org is certainly worth a visit. And if ever you are in need of a high-quality book, an art reproduction as a unique birthday present, great meditation music or whatever, you could have a look at www.sanatansociety.com knowing that you will get the best, that it helps these sites to grow and that it supports the related artists, authors and teachers in their work.
