ORGANIC INDIA was formed in the 1990's by a small group of people from around the world who met in
Lucknow, a town in northern India. They had traveled to meet H.W.L. Poonja, the spiritual teacher fondly
known as "Papaji." Drawn by the search for truth and self-realization, they came to hear Papaji’s simple
teachings: "Keep Quiet. The eternal truth exists within you. Do not entertain a single thought and the truth
will reveal itself to itself." Inspired by Papaji's lifetime of service, this group of visionaries (and future
founders of ORGANIC INDIA) together created a holistic business that would eventually change the face
of agriculture in northern India. Their idea was simple: establish a sustainable business model to support
the livelihood of thousands of impoverished farmers in India by providing training and education, enabling
self-sufficiency and skills that could be passed on to future generations. This idea became a movement as
organic and biodynamic farming methods were developed and practiced. The founder's mission to offer
safe effective herbal products to the world is the driving force behind an organic revolution that started
with ORGANIC INDIA and is now taking root all across India.
