At Samta Meditation and Research Institute, our mission is to preserve, practice, and promote the timeless values of moral integrity (sīla), mental clarity (samādhi), and deep understanding (paññā)—through meditation, education, and compassionate service.

We are committed to creating a peaceful, inclusive space where individuals can grow inwardly and contribute to social harmony. Our forest-based monastery and meditation campus in Junnar, Maharashtra is envisioned as a sanctuary for quiet practice, sincere training, and thoughtful inquiry.

To create a spiritually awakened, ecologically conscious, and harmonious society rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Dhamma—where individuals and communities flourish through inner peace, ethical living, and compassionate action.
