Clear Organizational Separation
Foundation and Publications
Shastra Wisdom Foundation and Shastra Wisdom Publications are distinct organizations. The Foundation focuses on nonprofit public-benefit education and outreach. Shastra Wisdom Publications is the commercial publishing organization responsible for books, eBooks, audiobooks, publishing rights, distribution, and related media.
Commercial book sales and royalties belong to Publications. Foundation programs, grants, donations, and public-benefit resources are handled separately. Material arrangements between the organizations are intended to be documented transparently.
