Overview

Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad

We must know our roots even while we soar towards the skies.

Standing strongly by this adage, Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad is a youth forum, that has spread its wings as wide as are its deep roots. Our organisation comprises the youth of Terapanth from the age of 21 to 45 years and unifies them under a competent umbrella. Incepted in 1964 by the Acharya Shri Tulsi, ABTYP is now headed with the same determination by the 11th Acharya of Terapanth - His Holiness Acharya Shri Mahashramanji, since May 2010.

We have around 362 branches around the country with a following of more than 45,000 globally. And as an ideal platform that nurtures their hearts and minds, we leave no stones unturned. We strive to generate opportunities and favourable occasions for them so that they can come out of their shells and utilize the chance of interacting confidently with the world. We empower them by inculcating the values of Jainism and Terapanth as their fundamentals via regular training, teaching camps, and programs. We also engage them in learning-based services during the Chaturmas, thus taking them closure to the beliefs that nourish humanity.

The right association is the fundamental influencer in building, shaping, and remoulding a character and the foremost aspect that can bring change. And ABTYP is just that; the right association, for the Terapanth Jains to come together and try to build a better and more responsible society for themselves as well as others. Being the visionary’s guide, ABTYP serves as the perfect platform to architect and adhere to a value system in life.

As a part of a centuries-old ancient sect, we understand that the current and upcoming generation holds the key to a thriving future. We work to support their interests and helps them in visualizing and defining their life goals with profound self-learning and realisations. Through several innovative and modern-day programs, we help our members to find tranquillity and inner peace. It encourages a healthy pursuit to be a part of a greater cause while seeking eternal peace and fulfilment.

The Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad is a youth forum that unites the Terapanthi youth from the age of 21 to 45 the world over. The formation of this organisation was due to the vision and able efforts of Acharya Shri Tulsi. It was his thinking that has led to this strong and rooted forum of Terapanthi youth. This organisation has a huge following of over 40000 youth across the world. The ABTYP has its wings spread all across the country with more than 362 branches which execute the vision of the present 11th Acharya of Terapanth His Holiness Acharya Shri Mahashramanji.

The vision of ABTYP is to generate opportunities and chances for the youth so that they can interact with the world. The organisation helps in strengthening the moral values of youth by creating opportunities to serve other people, state and nation through its various programmes, to network amongst themselves so that all can grow and a win-win scenario gets promoted and to inculcate in themselves the value of following the Jain philosophy. All this creates a platform for the youth from where the world see them as responsible citizens of the world.

ABTYP follows a missionary vision strategy wherein the missions are so aligned that the vision will only be achieved if the missions are followed well. Here the vision is the outcome of the missions. The first mission being that of service. The ABTYP pledges itself for the service of mankind and humanity. Under its service mission ABTYP runs and manages activities of social causes like Blood Donation Drives, Eye Check Up and Medical Check Up camps, De Addiction Programmes, helping the needy by timely distribution of needy things free of cost, setting up of pathology labs, giving services on days of national importance to the nation at large, supporting in times of national grief and natural calamities etc.

By its mission of empowerment the ABTYP pledges to empower the youth by inculcating the values of Jainism and Terapanth to the roots by way of having regular training and teaching camps and programmes. Inviting their services during the Chaturmas is another way of involving the youth to the philosophy of Humanity. Regular Meditation by means of Preksha Dhyan, Science of living (Jeevan Vigyan programmes), etc. are the ways in which empowerment of values in the youth is carried out. The mission of strengthening is basically to promote the feeling of fellowship among youth and enroute achieve a great network of Terapanthi youth all over the world. Facilities like encouragement to higher studies, hostel facilities in urban areas, talent hunt programmes,conducting seminars for personality and business development are the means by which the empowerment is generated in the youth and networking is promoted among them so that a youth is never out of resource and the hormonal links are established among the youth.
