A promotionally worded article about a "research initiative" by DK Hari and Hema Hari, whose output consists of books and other media.
It doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG: the only independent source I could find was this article in the The Hindu. There are a few profiles on platforms where they publish (the most substantial one I could find was www.artofliving.org/in-en/bharathgyan – sorry, site is blacklisted) or on the web page of an unaccredited university where one of the founders is a teacher [1], a report on a presentation made by the founders [2], and another report about a book published by them [3]. The article also cites a 2007 newspaper article titled India in the eyes of Bharathgyan, but that's not available online, and even if we count it there won't be enough in-depth coverage overall.
Unless appearances are deceiving (some of the refs used in the article have it that Bhararth Gyan have determined Rama's birth to be 5114 BC, and have traced the origin of the Maya calendar to India), then we absolutely can't have an article about what looks like purveyors of pseudo-history without something reliable to say about them. – Uanfala (talk) 14:31, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
