The Sahaj Marg Research Institute was established in 1965 to further explore the connections between our direct experience of spirituality and the wisdom that is to be gleaned from other sources in the field—namely tradition, literature and contemporary discovery. In January 2000, the Institute was expanded in its vision and structure  and renamed the Sahaj Marg Research and Training Institute or SMRTI, adding an educational branch to the organization which has provided numerous workshops and intensive study sessions at different venues worldwide.

In the past decade the Institute has focused on research and training worldwide, developing seminars and workshops aimed at deepening our understanding and practice of Sahaj Marg, developing programs for youth, creating the foundations of the Value Based Spiritual Education program, as well as archiving, translating and publishing Mission literature.

Several papers and articles have been written in connection with the research and group study which have been published either in journals or in book form since the creation of the institute. Research has also been conducted at universities by graduate students aspiring to M. Phil and Ph.D. degrees.

Those interested in participating in the work of the Institute may approach the Director of Research at SMRTI for details. Please note, there is a minimum qualification of post graduate work in the humanities (languages, history, philosophy, psychology, education) to participate in the work of the Institute.
