Prajna (Pra’-gyia) is a Sanskrit word that conveys ultimate wisdom that cannot be reached by developing intellect alone. It entails insight from experience and understanding through the engagement with all that surrounds us. Prajna Leadership Fellows merge intellect and practice together to compassionately advance the welfare of humanity.
