The
Spanda Foundation has a cross-cultural goal, aiming to a
better understanding
among people through a deeper knowledge of their mutual
cultures, ideas,
traditions, faiths and beliefs in a dialogue intended to
stimulate cultural diversity.
At the heart of this mission is an aspiration to contribute
to the achievement of a
higher degree of awareness. The Foundation is particularly
interested in projects
that encourage freedom of inquiry, imagination, insight,
creativity and expression.
The Foundation is active in promoting the excellence in
the arts, in cultural,
health care, in environmental and conservation issues, in
scientific
initiatives and in projects that add social value, by fostering
creative
solutions and crafting strategic resources that, serving
the common good,
may advance human progress
and enrich communities towards a more just,
sustainable and peaceful world.

Foundation is a legally and independent institution
established on 9 May 2005
under the Dutch law (corresponding to Section 501(c)(3)
of the US Internal Revenue Code)
and has its seat in The Hague, The Netherlands.
1
Spanda
is the Sanskrit term
for the original, primordial
subtle vibration that arises from
the dynamic interplay of the passive
and the creative polarizations of the
Absolute and that, by taking the
form of sound, unfolds
itself into the energetic
process of differentiatio
bringing forth the whole
of creation.
