His endeavors encompassed extensive research on the syncretic relationships between science and spirituality, the revival of ''Rishi'' traditions, and the revelation of the philosophy and science underlying the Gayatri Mantra and ''Yajna''.

His vision is encapsulated in the phrase, "''Hum badlenge, Yug badlega''. ''Hum sudhrenge, Yug sudhrega''" ("We will change, the era will change. We will improve, the era will improve"), which continues to inspire successive generations. Provided by Wikipedia
