H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda has been connecting and co-working with various spiritual leaders, saints, heads of Hindu organizations and social organizations to share and deeply strengthen the bonds of Hinduism, taking the unified vision for Vedic tradition to all and honoring their contributions in enriching the humanity.

Intellectual kshatriyas are individuals trained to lead society using dharmic ways. They could be serving in a variety of professions such as: politics, government, law, industry, education, mass media, military, among others.

Unfortunately, because of centuries of Islamic rule followed by British rule, we became brainwashed into losing our own leadership qualities. Gradually, we started believing that mimicking others makes us superior. The dharmic systems based on artha-shastra, dharma-shastra, niti-shastra and other related shastras became sidelined. Eventually, many of us accepted the Western Indology views according to which our Vedic traditions are primitive and oppressive.

While there are many new initiatives that teach Vedic knowledge, this is not enough in the modern kurukshetra where civilizations compete. We must teach our leaders to engage other civilizations in various settings, and this requires understanding the other civilizations. Our traditional system known as purva-paksha is a brilliant methodology to understand the other party in a very thorough manner. After doing a purva-paksha, one develops the uttara-paksha (response from our side). In modern vocabulary, this system is called 'reversing the gaze' at the other side in order to understand them within our own framework.

Presently, we face a dual threat: There is Hinduphobia that attacks us viciously. There is also the process of digestion of our assets into other faiths - such as the Christian Yoga movement to Christianize yoga. By knowing the purva-paksha of the major non-Vedic systems in the world, our leaders will be positioned to articulate how we are different, to debate with opponents on a wide range of issues, and to apply Vedic knowledge to solve modern challenges facing humanity.

This training academy will send teachers to teach in other colleges and universities where they are producing leaders in various fields. For example, we could accept the responsibility to teach the DIKSHA curriculum within a management college, or to newly selected officials in the Indian Foreign Service, or to universities where new media professionals are being produced. In other words, we hope to supply teachers and curriculum to third party institutions so that our curriculum may be incorporated as part of their offering.

With Sri 108 Mahant Swami Narendragiriji , Adhyaksha (President) of Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad at Kumbh Mela, Nasik, India, September 2015

"One week ago several news media channels had come to me, asking me to comment about Nithyananda Swamiji and I said – He is the backbone of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).

All the people who are connected to Swamiji H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda are very much fortunate. Today, I consider myself also fortunate as I am connected to Swamiji. In the topic of this great ascetic saint, it is my belief that on the strength of tapas (penance) and dhyana (meditation), man becomes transformed into Divine.

Today on coming to his Aadheenam, in front of you, seeing the austerity, penance and strength of honorable Nithyananda Swamiji, I felt that, in reality, I have come into the presence of a Divya Purusha (Divine Being)."
