HSSF was founded on the motto ―Athmano Mokshartham Jagat Hitaya Cha‖ –meaning of the Rig Veda dictum ―Service to beings – animate or inanimate—is the way to attain Moksha, through main four pillars of the „Sanatana Dharma‟ viz. families, societies, economies of nations and humanity. It is important to understand humanity for which to understand life values also is equally important. HSSF has defined these life values in six basic themes : (1) Preserve Forests and Protect wild life; (2) Conserve Ecology; (3) Sustainable environmental protection; (4) Inculcate Human & Family values; (5) Foster Women Respect and (6) Instill Patriotism.
IMCTF was founded on the Isavasya Upanishad first verse –
“Isawasyam idam sarvam, yat kinchit jagatyaam jagat| Tena tyaktena bhunjita maa grudha kasya swid dhanam|| “ Mahatma Gandhi explained the meaning as –“Everything animate or inanimate is the manifestation of the Divine creation”.
