VOICE
The motto of VOICE is “Rekindling Wisdom & Reviving Love”.
When the wisdom is rekindled people can discriminate between good and bad. One can obtain ever lasting Joy by reviving LOVE.
Situated near the West coast of India, Pune, known by many as 'the Oxford of the East' has been celebrated since medieval times as a high seat of learning. Multitudes of academic institutions dot this city of over four million even today. The focus of learning has always been education to combine competence with character, culture to bring out the best in an individual and devotion to one's duty and the Supreme divinity that unites all living beings.
In the recent past, the freedom resulting from living away from their parents, mechanistic world-view devoid of values, ethics, morals or purpose, free mixing opportunities offered by the campus environment combined to propel the students into a life of sensuality and sin. When they graduate, they carry, along with their degrees, a disdain for virtuous living, an infatuation with materialism and a host of vices unhealthy eating habits, promiscuity, smoking, alcoholism, gambling and even drug addiction.
The education and culture offered by VOICE is non-sectarian and meant for people of any religion, caste, creed, color or nationality. It is for bringing about the welfare of all humanity. It is easy to understand and practical to apply wisdom. It teaches proven knowledge that has touched and transformed the lives of thousands of youths.
Intellectual education influences the head and value-based education influences the heart. In fact, education that does not train the heart can be dangerous. If we want to build character in our offices, homes and society, we must have the wisdom to live a principle-centered life based on honesty, compassion, courage, responsibility etc. Educated persons are those who can choose wisely and courageously under any circumstances between good and bad, between virtuousness and vulgarities regardless of the academic degrees they have. The goal of VOICE is to rekindle the innate wisdom about meaning and purpose of life.
Peter R. Schemm in his book entitled, ‘Love: Impact on Physical and Mental Health’ explains that people who live in relationships in which they do not feel loved, protected, happy or secure are ten times more susceptible to chronic disease and five time more susceptible to mental illness. Also studies prove that love heals diseases. Community, security, protection, sharing, care and concern for one another – all these are possible only when people learn to lead a selfless life centered around the Supreme Truth. Such a life awakens the dormant love in our hearts that manifests as respect for elders, compassion for the youngers, friendliness towards equals, surrender to the laws of Almighty that matures as love for Lord and towards all living beings.
When the wisdom is rekindled people can discriminate between good and bad, by that surely they will be able to say NO to bad habits & yes to life and when the real love is revived people won’t search for happiness outside through alcohol, drug’s, illicit relationships and so on. So VOICE makes DRUG DE-ADDICTION a easy and a happy process because as soon a person gets a higher taste he will no longer look down to petty stupid lower tastes like drinking, smoking, drug’s.

In 1996, a team of youths from engineering colleges of Pune started the activities of VOICE by coming together and venturing into the wisdom literatures and lives of great personalities, with the desire to bring about a positive revolution in the misguided lives of modern youth. Today VOICE has taken a great shape in several universities in India and abroad.
