Our mission

Strengthening society through protection, wisdom & service.

VIRA Inc. exists to facilitate strategies that strengthen society — protecting the innocent, networking the business community, and supporting spiritually-minded leadership in a progressive and dharmic way.

The dharmic family of ancient society believed in a world free from fear, in the protection of the innocent, women, children, and faith in the Supreme Being. Following in the footsteps of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, we help fund and support endeavors that build necessary bridges — between rich and poor, different faiths and races, and across every national boundary.

Standing with the oppressed, the poor, the elderly, women, children, and animals.
