The Yogi Divine Society is an internationally recognized, humanitarian NGO with deep roots in India, dedicated to serving all people globally, regardless of religion, ethnicity, nationality, or gender.
Through a worldwide network of centers and dedicated volunteers, our organization empowers hundreds of thousands of children, youth, and families to achieve greater happiness, peace, and harmony.
This profound Hindu principle is deeply rooted in ancient sacred scriptures. And today, in the face of global challenges and individual pursuits, it remains as relevant in Central Europe as it was millenia ago in India.
Drawing inspiration from this timeless truth, H.D.H. Hariprasad Swamiji founded Yogi Divine Society, dedicated to Atmiyata — a life of harmony, respect, and heartfelt connection. Today, H.D.H. Prabodhjivan Swamiji continues this legacy, upholding its cherished tradition.
In Germany, the Yogi Divine Society e.V. shares the spirit of Atmiyata and promotes a positive, conscious approach to life. A key focus is supporting young people of Indian heritage, facilitating their integration into German society while enriching our shared culture with their talents and traditions.
We believe that high standards in education, ethical action, and harmonious living create a strong foundation for a brighter future.
It is my heartfelt wish to contribute to the positive evolution of our society – toward a community where we care more deeply for one another and bring noble values to life through our everyday actions.
Manfred Gutheins
President of the Yogi Divine Society e.V.
To share timeless values, unite diverse cultures, and awaken hidden potentials – for a world rooted in openness and connection.
With open hearts, we serve individuals, families, society, and the earth through acts of compassion and spirit. Our mission is to create spaces where potential unfolds, well-being thrives, and harmony unites the collective.”
For us, serving means bringing joy to the Divine and sharing goodness without boundaries—beyond ethnicity, gender, or belief. In the act of giving, we become one.
Serve the society by providing spiritual services, cultural training and other human services like health-care and educational activities on a secular basis to promote community development, educational literacy and enable happy, peaceful and harmonious life.
Our values are rooted in the spiritual essence of Hinduism, nurtured by the universal principles found in the world’s great religions, and guided by a deep commitment to humanitarian ideals.
We choose to focus on the strengths within ourselves and others, rather than dwelling on weaknesses.
We seek to recognize what unites us, not what divides us. In all relationships – with ourselves, our families, friends, society, nature, and the environment – we strive to live in harmony through understanding and love.
We aim to offer our contributions to others and to society wholeheartedly and without self-interest. All our activities are inspired by the guiding principle of Hinduism: “Selfless service to humanity and devotion to God.”
We aspire to live with acceptance, patience, and inner balance, continually learning to let go of the ego, so that peace may arise within and flow outward. In living these values together, we create a space where hearts open, souls grow, and the joy of serving others becomes the path that gently leads us all closer – to one another and to the Divine.
There are more than 12,000 initiated male householder devotees who are known as Ambrish within the Yogi Divine Society around the globe, following His Divine Holiness Prabodh Swamiji. These devotees have taken a vow of dedication to live with spirituality in all facets of their life and dedicate their free time to volunteer work and devotion of God. The Yogi Divine Society organizes monthly conferences for Ambrish devotees to provide them with spiritual guidance. His Divine Holiness Prabodhjivan Swamiji Maharaj travels globally for these devotees to conduct spiritual assemblies, conferences, personal counselling etc. He personally counsels all those imbued in social problems, guiding them towards practical as well as spiritual solutions.
Similar to “Ambrish”, female householder devotees who have taken a similar vow of dedication are called “Sahraday”. There are more than 10,000 Sahraday devotees within the Yogi Divine Society. These Sahradays live under the guidance of Sadhvi Sarweshwarben (female renunciate equivalent to a nun) who is based in India. Sadhvi Sarweshwarben and dozens of other Sadhvis in Yogi Divine Society personally counsel and guide the female devotees through all manner of spiritual, or social problems through sharing practical as well as spiritual solutions. Spiritual conventions catered specifically for Sahradays are also organised every year to exchange ideas, knowledge and develop spiritual harmony.
His Divine Holiness Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj’s life slogan, “Yuvako maru sarvasva chhe” translated “Youths are my everything.” signifies the special place youths have in His heart. He always emphasizes the extraordinary potential present in a youth: “Yuvan dhare tevo thai shake” A youth has the potential to become what he chooses to become. Youth is a reservoir of dynamic energy and talent that could change the course of history. When this energy is channeled towards positive avenues, the maximum potential of youth, and that of human life, can be fully realized.
Carrying on this mission is the lifework of His Divine Holiness Prabodhjivan Swamiji Maharaj. Simply put, He inspires…He guides…He cares…He loves…
Yogi Divine Society Germany organizes weekly assemblies, seminars, conferences, and various activities specifically for youth.
Through His Divine Holiness Prabodh Swamiji’s selfless love, compassionate care and divine blessings, He has given the modern youth a new meaning and direction in life, with a special emphasis on keeping the right company and achieving excellence in all aspects of life.
