How the WVA works
Clear boundaries that protect every mission.
No guru-disciple relationships
The WVA is a forum for cooperation, not a spiritual authority that establishes guru–disciple relationships. Each participating mission retains its own spiritual leadership and tradition.
No ashram facilities
The WVA does not present itself as a separate ashram or competing religious mission. Its purpose is to connect independent communities and support appropriate shared initiatives.
Fraternal handling of conflicts
Differences should be approached with respect, truthfulness and dialogue, without imposing uniformity or interfering in a mission’s autonomous governance.
Open feedback
Constructive feedback, questions and concerns are welcome through appropriate WVA contact channels. Any institutional decision or public position requires authorization from the responsible human representatives.
