What is the purpose of Freemasonry in India?
The Grand Lodge of India has articulated several foundational principles that detail the purpose and objectives of Freemasonry within the country:
To practice Antient, Free and Accepted Masonry, continuing the traditions and customs observed for over two centuries in India.
To promote fraternal love and mutual support among members, guiding them in personal development and ethical conduct.
To cultivate the virtues of loyalty and citizenship, ensuring members contribute positively to their communities while respecting the laws of the land.
To provide a platform for men of good character to unite in the spirit of brotherhood, fostering harmony and peace.
To maintain the integrity and secrecy of the Order whilst engaging in charitable works and promoting the general good of society.
These purposes are enshrined in the Constitution of the Grand Lodge, ensuring that all members adhere to the principles of morality, peacefulness, and civic responsibility.
