It is Gurudev's vision and inspiring spiritual guidance that gave rise to the idea of 'Bodhananda Research Foundation for Management and Leadership Studies' in 1988, to foster human potential development, and to develop leadership through dialogue, in management. BRF-ML was formally registered as a Trust in 1995.
Swami Bodhananda is the spiritual guidance and inspiration for Sambodh and its sister institutions in India, North America and the rest of the world. Programs and projects for the study and propagation of Vedantic Scriptures, research on Indian management and contextulaising it in the contemporary economic and geopolitical context, ashrams to set our minds high and meditate in unison with the harmony of mother nature, living with nature, social service activities for the minorities and underprivileged - all these are blooms of His divine vision flowing through His devotees and associates in different parts of the world.
Apart from His erudition in Vedantic texts, Swami Bodhananda is a well known management guru.. He is an avid reader and is well-versed with the contemporary challenges that the corporate leadership and corporate management face. The Gita and ManagementSwami Bodhananda is the author of several books: His latest book is Indian Management and Leadership. Other books include The Gita and Management; Meditation: The Awakening of Inner Powers; Happiness Unlimited; Seven Hindu Spiritual Laws; and, Management and Mahabharata. He has also authored two conversation-styled books, one with a scholar of consciousness studies in India, and the other with a young Indian-American lawyer in the United States. These books are “Dialogues: Philosopher meets Seer” (2001) and “Irreverent Spiritual Questions” (2004).
The range of topics Swami Bodhananda addresses extends from human potential development, managerial excellence and leadership studies to the experience of "absolute peace in the midst of dynamic activity". Here are selections from, the papers and thoughts He has written at various occasions; Travelogues; Thematic Notes; correspondence and discussions between Gurudev and His devotees through letters and meetings, public interviews and media reports; Messages that Gurudev writes on occasions of spiritual and cultural importance.

The divine and spiritual presence of our Guru invokes an inner and self-giving motivation in us to come out of ruts and stereotypes, conflicts and dilemmas, and to experience the full flowering of the spirit. To follow the sacred footsteps, the divya-paada, of the Guru is to travel to the abode of the Ultimate Truth.

The logo of Sambodh is constituted by three arcs and three birds: two trapped within and one flying out. The motto of the logo reads uttishtata jagrata nibhodata - arise awake and realise. The three arcs represent three bodies - gross, subtle and causal, identifying with which the infinite consciousness has become finite.
Collection of articles, videos, past programmes, history etc.
The finite consciousness is represented by the two birds trapped in samsara, the world of change, and struggling to come out. The trapped birds are a symbol of all kinds of duality: the seeker and the sought, the god and the world, body and soul, good and bad, matter and spirit. The bird flying out into the infinite space of consciousness stands for the enlightened and integrated person who has solved all kind of duality, and who has disidentified with the three bodies as well as the three gunas such as the sattva, rajas and tamas.
“ If at all I have a mission, it is to laugh and laugh, and encourage a few others to laugh with me and ultimately seduce the whole creation to roar a cosmic laughter. ”
