Overview
Mission
Although we at Agni Institute take inspiration from the writings and teachings of Agni Yoga the Institute is not officially affiliated with any organization. The writings of Agni Yoga are owned by the Roerich Museum of New York, and are provided by them free of charge on the sole condition that no modifications will be introduced by any third party. At the Agni Institute, our mission is to serve the common good by awakening and expanding human consciousness. In our time of rapidly accelerating discoveries, the purification of consciousness is vitally important. We are therefore committed to the living practice of Agni Yoga—demonstrating through disciplined research and sincere personal appli.
