This website is here to help the SRIVERM project achieve its goals.
The primary goal of the project initiated by Swami Hari is Upliftment of the rural and underprivileged sections of society, including the physically challenged, through education.
To make this possible SRIVERM invests in education, facilities and transportation for the students.

Over this past week, a retired businessman from Florida contributed 15 acres of lands in the city of Londonville in Central Trinidad. He wants us to build the Himalayan Education Center. He is committed to raise $5 million USD to get the project off the grounds. He is making another adjacent 25 acres available for expansion in the near future. The property is 20 minutes from the Piarco International Airport and transportation will be very easy for students. The location is Central to all sides of the country with all ammenities like water, lights, roads and proper drainage. We are very blessed to have this desire of Swami Hari come into fruition after his Maha Samadhi.
I would like to invite educators and meditators from the Swami Rama Himalayan Tradition to be part of the ‘Board of Directors’. More so, consideration will be given to those with MS degrees and Ph.D degrees in any career. I am currently inviting candidates as members on the Board of Trustees with business administration and financial management background, to micro manage the property and construction of the Himalayan College Campus. A Steering Committee of MBA’s and Ph.D’s will overseer the entire project from start to finish. Please email your interest to santji@gmail.com You can view the websites below to see our efforts. If any clips from your center were used, it was meant for the promotion of our Himalayan Masters.
In service to the Himalayan Masters,
Jai Gurudev,

SWAMI HARI: I AM A SIMPLE FOREST MONK is a collection of reflections on the life and excerpts from the teachings of a Himalayan forest monk.
“Swami Hari made many friends over the 10 years that he traveled around the world. These were his “brothers” and “sisters” as he liked to call them. But even though in that time he became very worldly, he never lost his child-like wonder about the world. Like a child, his laugh came easily and naturally and was very infectious. He could never quite believe that a poor forest monk from the Himalayas who had been living in isolation for many years had somehow become a world traveler… He tried to teach all of us how to laugh and shake our heads as we go through life, even if things don’t always go exactly as planned.” Excerpt from the prologue of Swami Hari: I am a simple forest monk
