Dedication

MERU, the mythical Holy Mountain in ancient Hindu and Buddhist Cosmology, is revered as the center of the cosmos.

It is considered to be one of the favourite haunts of the 'All Pervading - All Inclusive ' LORD - SHIVA,' who is the Supreme Deity in the Hindu pantheon and is the creator, preserver and destroyer of all existence.

For us, the founders of this organisation, 'MERU' is our tribute to the miracle of creation. A tribute to our beautiful collective home...The Earth and, a tribute to the celestial beauty and splendour of the Himalaya.

The naming of the organisation after the mythical mountain, is our humble offering to 'Shiva - Girisha,' Great Lord Of The Mountains, Whose eternal spirit forever roams the 'Abode Of Snows.'
