Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay aims to revive and restore the ancient glory of Dharmik learning for Bharat and the world
It was not my intention to establish a University solely to provide theoretical knowledge on Spirituality. The aim was to help students progress spiritually and attain Moksha (Final Liberation from the cycle of birth and death).
Spiritual development, according to Universal Principles, is rarely a focus in today's educational system. However, according to Spiritual Science, it is the primary purpose of human life. Drawing on Indian Knowledge Systems & spiritual research, MAV is developing a curriculum that can be adopted by educational institutions to enhance students’ personalities, sanskars (qualities), and spiritual growth
Here, India’s ancient wisdom is presented in a modern format to guide society on the path forward based on Dharma. The life principles discussed apply to everyone, regardless of background or beliefs, and will assist you in navigating life’s challenge
From spiritual research carried out across more than 50 fields of study

Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay (MAV) is building a state-of-the-art Digital Asset Management (DAM) system to archive and showcase over 4 decades of pioneering spiritual research and Indian Knowledge Systems. This multilingual platform will make rare spiritual insights globally accessible, shaping the future of education, research, and consciousness.
MAV is developing a research-driven curriculum rooted in Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) to help the modern generation tackle today’s challenges with timeless wisdom. Partner with us to make this vision a reality.
Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay is developing a world-class campus modelled after Takshashila to teach students about the 14 Vidyas (disciplines of knowledge) and 64 Kalas (art forms) from the perspective of growing spiritually through these disciplines.
Indian temples are sacred spaces that foster devotion, community bonding, and impart values (sanskar) across generations, while preserving India’s rich heritage. They embody art, architecture, and spirituality. Our Virtual Reality Temple Tours digitally conserve these treasures, enabling global access and generating awareness for future generations.
In case you have any questions about how to get your Visa in order to attend the course, you can always contact us at [email protected]
Madgaon railway station is the nearest railway station. It takes approximately 35 minutes to reach the University premises from there. City taxi services are available throughout Goa.
The nearest airport is Dabolim Airport (GOI). It takes approximately 40 minutes to reach the MAV premises from the airport. We do not recommend MOPA airport (GOX) as it is very far from the University premises, in case you wish to come straight to the University from the airport. City taxi services are available throughout Goa.
Yes, all basic amenities are available.
Visiting MAV is by invite only. You can also register for the MAV 5-Day workshop. You can come to visit the Spiritual Research Centre and Ashram for a few hours where our seekers will be able to assist you further.
Preparations for the visit depend on for what purpose and for how long you wish to visit. Our seekers will help you to prepare for your visit to MAV, once your visit is confirmed.
Indian attire is worn in the Ashram premises. The clothes should be of light colours. Black clothes can be avoided. This is to be able to imbibe the spiritual positivity of the Spiritual Research Centre and Ashram to the maximum.
Eligibility and admission criteria for students
1. Preference for admission will be given to those who want to make spiritual progress and who want to make efforts to increase sattvikta in their art form or in their discipline/field.
2. Students who have this inclination will mostly be between the spiritual levels of 40-50%. Accordingly, in all likelihood, this will be the general spiritual level of students who will seek admission into the Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay.
3. There is no age bar or a requirement of minimum education/qualification for admission into this University. A student’s yearning for spiritual practice and to grow spiritually will be the main criterion for acceptance into the University.
We recommend that you read the fundamental articles on our website and also (ssrf.org) which publishes research by MAV. You could choose to attend our 5-Day workshop held at the Spiritual Research center, Goa. This will give you an insight about our work and based on that, further possibilities can be discussed.
Spiritual research is the most fundamental aspect of MAV and is undertaken under the guidance of Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale. It is predominantly conducted via 2 methods :
Through the medium of an advanced level of sixth sense of a person
Through aura and energy scanners
A complete understanding of subtle vibrations requires a highly developed sixth sense; however, modern aura and subtle energy scanners can measure limited aspects of this dimension. This has immense importance to society as it gives tangible proof of the subtle world. These instruments provide clear, objective insights into the spiritual positivity or negativity of various stimuli in our daily lives.
Yes, you can. However, it should be done only after taking written permission from MAV. It should not violate any intellectual property rights. Also, when using the content from MAV, one should give credits to MAV.
