Dhyanacharya Dr. Ajay Jain - Chairman
Dhyanacharya Dr. Ajay Jain is a prominent spiritual scholar and social activist whose work focuses on the intersection of individual self-realization and collective national strength. His philosophy, often summarized by the motto “Know Yourself to Know Others,” positions spiritual health as the prerequisite for a robust National Character.
Through his leadership of the Jain World Mission (JWM) and Divine Advice along with his role as a spiritual consultant, Dr. Jain has pioneered several initiatives that directly impact the moral and ethical landscape of Indian citizens.
- Spiritual Health as a Foundation for National Duty
Dr. Jain argues that a nation is only as strong as the mental and spiritual resilience of its people. He bridges the gap between ancient Indian wisdom and modern civic responsibility through:
- The “Socially Conscious” Lifestyle: He teaches that personal transformation—starting from a “restless quest” for truth—must lead to social awareness. By healing the individual’s “inner sickness” (anxiety, greed, and fear), he aims to create a more compassionate and disciplined citizenry.
- Naturopathy and Meditation: By integrating physical wellness with meditation (Dhyan), he promotes a lifestyle of self-discipline, which he views as the bedrock of a law-abiding and productive society.
- Promoting Universal Human Values
As an interfaith scholar, Dr. Jain’s efforts are rooted in the Jain principle of Ahimsa (Non-violence) and Vishwa Bandhutva (Universal Brotherhood).
- Inclusivity in Practice: His meditation sessions, held both in India and globally (from the USA to France), are open to all sects. This inclusivity serves as a practical model for Unity in Diversity, teaching citizens to transcend communal boundaries.
- Global Representation: By representing Indian spiritual values on international platforms, he fosters a sense of national pride and “Soft Power,” encouraging Indians to view their cultural heritage as a contribution to global peace.
- Educational and Social Reform
Dr. Jain’s work extends into the intellectual development of the youth and professionals:
- Value-Based Leadership: He emphasizes that bad character becomes good, and good becomes better through spiritual alignment. His awards, such as the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Teachers’ Excellence Award, highlight his commitment to molding the next generation of Indian thinkers.
- Authorship: He has authored numerous books like Meditation: A Mystical Treasure and Yatra Aapki—Parichay Aapka Swayam Se, which serve as manuals for citizens seeking to balance material success with ethical integrity.
Recognition and Awards
His contributions to building a cohesive national identity have been recognized by various state and central organizations:
- Sadbhavna Samman (2014): For promoting communal harmony.
- Mahatma Gandhi National Excellence Award (2019): For his commitment to non-violence and social service.
In recognition of his 43+ years of service and his efforts to promote peace, he was recently awarded a Doctorate in Spiritualism by Chicago Open University (2024). He continues to advocate that India’s unique contribution to the world should be the practice of peace to counter “the fast-growing world of hatred.”

Four Decades of Industrial Leadership

A Heart for Social Advocacy
Parallel to his technical achievements, Dr. Verma has maintained a steadfast dedication to social welfare. For over 20 years, he was a pivotal figure in Kuwait associated with Child Rights and You (CRY). In this capacity, he worked to mobilize resources and awareness for underprivileged children, demonstrating that professional success is most meaningful when leveraged for the benefit of the vulnerable. This two-decade commitment reflects a consistent moral compass that transcends geographical and professional boundaries.
The New Chapter: Universal Human Values
Following his retirement from the corporate world, Dr. Verma has transitioned into a “seeding” phase of his life, focusing on the future of global society and the environment. He is currently spearheading educational startups designed to foster personal development and holistic growth.
His current mission is centered on the propagation of Universal Human Values. By integrating social and environmental charities with educational initiatives, he seeks to address the root causes of societal discord and ecological imbalance. Dr. Verma’s vision is clear: to utilize his vast experience in mentorship and research to create a framework for a more ethical, sustainable, and compassionate world.
Through this blend of technical rigor and spiritual-social awareness, Dr. Verma continues to inspire, proving that the true measure of a career is the “Better World” one leaves behind.
