Isa Viswa Prajnana Trust (IVPT)

The Isa Viswa Prajnana Trust is a registered charitable body functioning in Trivandrum, Kerala - India, under the guidance of Jagad Guru Swami Isa. Since its inception in 2000, the IVPThas been rendering valuable services to the society in the fields of education, holistic living, health care, human resources development, family welfare, tribal welfare, environmental science and other avenues of social service. The IVPT runs the Isalayam ashram in Anayara and a CBSE syllabus school in the name of Isa Viswa Vidyalayam.

The Isa Viswa Vidyalayam school operates upon a special system of education called “Education for Total Consciousness,” which helps the learner to achieve full growth through education, by a balanced integration of ‘objective knowledge’ (explanation of what is happening in the physical world) with ‘subjective knowledge’ (explanation of what is happening inside the human being and how he or she is related to the rest of the world). This vision of education has been popularized by a number of national conferences and an international conference arranged by the IVPT .

The Global Energy Parliament (GEP) is a master project that has been initiated by the IVPT and gives a broader meaning to this new approach to knowledge by bringing science back into the hands of the common people.
