- Integral humanism is based on the values of Sanatana dharma, the eternal and universal principles of life and morality that are inherent in human nature. It rejects the western concepts of individualism, democracy, socialism, communism, and capitalism as alien and inadequate for India. It also criticises the materialistic and mechanistic worldview of modern science and technology, which neglects the spiritual and cultural dimensions of human existence.
- Integral humanism advocates a balanced and harmonious relationship between the individual and the collective, the material and the spiritual, the local and the global, and the human and the natural. It proposes a four-fold classification of human goals: dharma (righteousness), artha (wealth), kama (desire), and moksha (liberation). It asserts that these goals should be pursued in a sequential and proportional manner, without compromising one for the sake of another.
- Integral humanism envisions a decentralised and participatory model of democracy, where the people are empowered to make decisions at the grassroots level through self-reliant and self-governing units such as villages, panchayats, and cooperatives. It opposes the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few elites, and the domination of foreign or external forces over the nation. It supports the protection and promotion of India's cultural diversity and national identity, while respecting the universal values of humanity and brotherhood.
- Integral humanism proposes an indigenous and human-centred model of economic development, where the primary aim is to ensure the basic needs and dignity of every citizen, rather than to maximise the gross domestic product or the profit of a few corporations. It favours a mixed economy, where the public and private sectors coexist and complement each other, and where the state plays a regulatory and welfare role. It advocates the use of appropriate and sustainable technology, which is adapted to the local conditions and needs, and which does not harm the environment or the society.
- Integral humanism is a dynamic and evolving philosophy, which is open to new ideas and challenges, and which seeks to address the contemporary problems and opportunities of India and the world. It is not a dogmatic or rigid doctrine, but a flexible and pragmatic approach, which is rooted in the ancient wisdom and the modern realities of India. It is a philosophy of action and transformation, which aims to create a new civilisation of peace, prosperity, and harmony.
