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.
Shastra Wisdom Foundation is a federally incorporated Canadian not-for-profit corporation under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. Corporation No. 1816001-5. Commercial book sales and royalties belong to Publications. Foundation programs, grants, donations, and public-benefit resources are handled separately.
