Institutional Overview

The Origin

The International Foundation for Tantra and Vedic Heritage was conceptualized by Rajib Sarma. The Foundation has been created and is managed by a collective of initiated sādhakas belonging to the Kulācāra Tantra Mārga of Kamakhya.

The Scope

It functions as a multidisciplinary spiritual, educational, cultural, research, and heritage institution with a focused commitment to Tantra, Vedic knowledge systems, Indic spiritual traditions, cultural and historical heritage, religious socio-anthropology, and lineage-based sādhanā practices.

The International Foundation for Tantra and Vedic Heritage is registered under the Indian Trusts Act 1882 as a Public Charitable, Religious and Educational Trust. This institutional framework ensures that all activities of the Foundation are guided by scholarly integrity, cultural responsibility, and a non-commercial ethos.

Purpose and Ethos

As global interest in Tantra continues to grow, authentic lineage-based transmission remains increasingly rare. The Foundation exists to serve as a responsible institutional bridge between the living Kulācāra Tantra tradition rooted in Kamakhya and the contemporary world of sincere spiritual inquiry and disciplined practice.

All activities of the Foundation are governed by scholarly integrity, cultural responsibility, and a strictly non-commercial ethos. Ritual-related offerings are understood as devotional contributions rather than transactional fees. No donor or contributor holds governance or decision-making authority. The Foundation exists to serve the lineage and preserve sacred knowledge, not to operate within a commercial framework.

Who Is This Foundation For

A defined community aligned with lineage, scholarship, and disciplined stewardship


The International Foundation for Tantra and Vedic Heritage (IFTVH) serves a defined community committed to preserving authentic Indic spiritual and knowledge traditions. It is not designed for mass appeal or commercial expansion, but for those who value depth over scale, continuity over novelty, and discipline over display.

The Four Pillars

The intersection of Sādhanā and Scholarship — a synergistic pathway to wisdom

  • Ritual Gurukula — Methodological accuracy and liturgical precision
