Hiten Bhuta, founder of Sakar Jivanvikas Trust

Hiten BhutaFounder. Every Sakar idea, project and program began as his intention.

साकार · Sakar · the formless, given form

Love, given form.

Love has no shape until someone gives it one. Since 2008, Hiten Bhuta has given it the shape of a school roof, a library shelf, a unit of blood, a wedding, and a Saturday satsang. Sakar Jivanvikas Trust is that love, made visible. Every service is free and offered with utmost love and respect.

How Hiten Bhuta works

Personally present, every week

He leads Rasmay Bodhi live every Saturday, decides every Sakar project himself, visits schools and villages, joins the monthly review with each department, and speaks with volunteers to encourage them. A project begins when he says yes, and he follows it to the last brick.

Level 4 · The inner world behind the actions

Before the school, the camp or the satsang, there was a way of seeing

The Upanishads teach that the seen rises from the unseen. At Sakar the unseen is one man's inner world: an intention, held long enough to become a possibility, a vision, a commitment, and finally a form.

Intentionसंकल्प · sankalpaHealthy, creative, happy and fulfilled human beings.

Sakar exists for this one purpose. Nothing is sold, no fee is charged, and no donation is accepted.

Possibilityसंभावना · sambhavanaEvery village deserves a school, a library and a place to gather.

Hence Goal 2035: 101 schools, 101 libraries and 101 community centres.

Visionदृष्टि · drishtiVasudhaiva Kutumbakam: the world is one family.

Mumbai, Dharampur, Saurashtra, Tripura and Tampa belong to one Sakar Parivar.

Commitmentनिष्ठा · nishthaEighteen years, every week, without a break.

Since 12 October 2008 the Saturday session has continued through his move to America and through the pandemic.

Mindsetभाव · bhavaI see God in you.

The title of his 2009 book is how he meets every person: no hierarchy, no pretence, full trust in the divine in each one.

Level 5 · The system and the people he built

One founder, hundreds of leaders and volunteers

Hiten Bhuta designed Sakar's departments, chose and trained its leaders, and set a monthly rhythm that keeps every project accountable to the people it serves. Each leader he inspired now inspires others.

Monthly review

Each department reports its goal, results, beneficiary feedback, volunteers and next action.

Leaders by region

65 key leaders manage projects on the ground in villages and cities.

Communities

WhatsApp communities in Dharampur, Saurashtra, Mumbai, Tripura and America keep everyone close.

Goals that stretch

101-101-101 by 2035 · 1 million video views · 1,000 marriages through KapolShaddi.

Rasmay Bodhi · रसमय बोधि · Hiten Bhuta's gratitude to the Rishis

The akhand anand, akhand prem yatra

The Upanishads and Shankaracharya's works are a treasure the Rishis left for all of us. Hiten Bhuta has opened them one shloka at a time every week since 12 October 2008, so that sadhaks may live in unbroken joy and love. Join live on Saturday at 7:00 pm IST (9:30 am US Eastern).
