GHA Pluralistic Four-dimensional Worldview is Tetraphilosophy and science of social harmony and harmonious civilization, known as Tetrasociology. Both are Tetrism or Harmonism. It has been evolving since 1976 and is represented in more than 300 scientific publications including 15 books and brochures on 16 languages, nearly 200 projects, 34 of which were created within GHA since 2005. GHA Paradigm of Global Thinking is four-dimensional (tetra-) net harmonious holistic thinking, which is an alternative to one-dimensional, industrial, disharmonious and partial thinking, which is responsible for all global problems and pathologies. GHA Social Ideal is harmonious civilization, features, definition, inevitability and thinking of which are outlined in the GHA Harmonious Civilization Universal Declaration (2009). GHA Harmonious Peace Culture is based on the principle: "If you want peace, create harmony," which essentially distinguishes it from industrial, militaristic (non)peace culture, which is based on the principle: "If you want peace, prepare for war" (Si vis pacem, para bellum). Social Harmony Deep Structure is the four spheres of social production together with the corresponding spheral classes, which provide continuous reproduction of four necessary and sufficient resources/elements of social harmony: people, information, organisation (institutes) and things. Social harmony is the balance of the spheres, spheral classes and resources. Their conscious balance is provided through the science of social harmony and harmonious education. Their spontaneous balance will occur through violence that is inherent to "prepare for war" paradigm. Conscious Actors of Harmonious Civilization are the four spheral classes of the population which differ not in regard to property but in regard to their occupation within the four spheres of production and which possess scientific knowledge of social harmony. Modern Age of Harmony Globalisation is the replacement of violent industrial revolutions, wars and spontaneous crises by scientific projects and achievement of global harmony. The beginning of this epoch has occurred in 1990 with the crash of the USSR, which marked the fall of industrial civilization and the rise of harmonious civilization. GHA Books and Brochures are: The ABC of Harmony (2012); Russia, Forward, towards Harmonious Civilization (2010); Kazakhstan – Harmonism Strategy for the 21st century (2010);Harmonious Civilization (2009); Harmony Academy (2008); Magna Carta of Harmony (2007); and Harmonious Era Calendar (2006). Gandhi Vidya Mandir www.gandhividyamandir.org.in Gandhi Vidya Mandir (GVM), a non-governmental, non-profit-motive making registered society, was founded in 1950, on 1190 acres of land which is one of the harshest terrains in the country and was populated by people who were one of the most backward nations. The region was regularly ravaged by droughts and floods, heat and cold waves, epidemics and other calamities. In such situation it was truly glorious vision of Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar (who later embraced Sanyas (renunciation) and was known as Swami Shri Shriram Sharan ji), an embodiment of universal humanism, which led to the establishment of a haven in the form of an educational institute. "Gandhi Vidya Mandir" is a comprehensive seat of education that seeks to inculcate humanitarian values in all who come to its precincts. GVM has been striving to alleviate problems faced by human societies through various permanent projects and programmes related to education, culture, livelihood, health, hygiene and vocational education, etc., without any discrimination of caste, class or creed.

The ABC of Harmony for World Peace, Harmonious Civilization and Tetranet Thinking. Global Textbook. GHA 34th Project First published in English in India, New Delhi, Doosra Mat Prakashan, 2012, pages ~334. ISBN – 978-81-923108-6-2 Abstract The ABC of Harmony is the first encyclopedia, philosophy and holistic scientific knowledge of the fundamental elements of social harmony, the separate clusters of which have been studied and developed since 1976 which is for more than 35 years. The ABC was created collectively by the GHA coauthors as the first world textbook on the theory of global social harmony and harmonious civilization. It is necessary and accessible for all countries, cultures and people. Therefore it opens the Age of Harmonious Enlightenment of humanity in the 21st century and is intended for all educational institutions in the world. Its main goal is expressed in the title, "for global peace, harmonious civilization and tetranet thinking." The book consists of five main parts: "The ABC of Harmony", "Applications and Prerequisites", "Harmony Stars", "Harmony Poetry" and "Harmony Painting". Their logic is obvious. Their content tends to the holistic expression of universal harmony not only in theory, but in different cultures: India, China, Europe, America and Africa; in the sciences of sociology, psychology, history, synergetics, economics, politics and ecology; in the religions of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam; in love, family, education and peacemaking; in the arts of poetry, painting and music; and in the lives of its great creators and thinkers: Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, Mohamed, Numa Pompilius, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Roerich, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama and many others. The philosophical basis of the ABC of Harmony is tetrism as a four dimensional pluralism, which provides a full, rather than partial, theoretical approach to social and individual harmony. The new methodological framework defines new, adequate, level of thinking of social harmony, which was called tetradic network harmonious thinking, or tetranet thinking in short. It is presented in varying degrees and models in the book sections. The ABC of Harmony is the core of thinking, worldview, spiritual culture and the Internet of global harmonious civilization, which is inevitable in the 21st century. Therefore, The ABC of Harmony allows every person and all people to not only understand and get prepared for it, but also take a fully conscious practical part in its building.
