PROUTIST UNIVERSAL (PU) is the organisation created to develop the Progressive Utilisation Theory (PROUT) first conceptualised by seer philosopher Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar in 1959. PROUT is a comprehensive social and economic concept that recognizes the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of human nature and as such provides a map for the holistic development of a truly progressive society. It is an alternative to Capitalism and Communism, neither of which has adequately met the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of humanity. While communism has severely restricted individual expression and human freedom, capitalism has widened social divisions with the unequal access to goods and services and the environmentally and socially destructive over-accumulation of wealth by a few.
