Q: I follow a religious faith. Can I still become a Swaero?
A: Yes. Very much. As long as you do not impose your faith on others without their consent and remain non-judgmental about others. Swaeroism is not against any religious faith. We work with and work for and learn progressive things from people of all faiths. Our objective is to create an inclusive, reflective, and a vibrant society which constantly creates new knowledge for human progress. And we deeply believe that such knowledge must be made available to every human being irrespective of his caste, color, creed, and economic status.
Q: Do I need to have the photos of Buddha or Ambedkar or Phule displayed in my home, if I become a swaero?
A: Not necessary. It is your personal choice. However, we believe your identity will not only decide your destiny, but it will also help others to rediscover and refine their own true identities and thereby change their destinies. Display of the greatest brains and the transformers with verifiable historical roots of our times in our homes will have a positive impact on the way we think.
Q: I haven’t studied in welfare hostels. Can I still become swaero?
A: Yes. You can. But on one condition. You must be ready to accept that everyone is a unique human being endowed with potential to change the things in the world. You should also be willing to accept Ten Commandments (Not Biblical) as guiding principles of your life and should also contribute to the development of such principles.
Q: I don’t belong to Scheduled Caste or any other caste/tribe that has been historically oppressed in Indian sub-continent. Can I still become a swaero?

Q: Do I need to pay money to join Swaeroes?
A: Not really. Swaeroes Network charges Indian Rs.50 at the time of registration of a member for administrative costs, nothing else. If anyone wants to donate in order to support the activities of the organization, we accept such donation with huge sense of responsibility.

You can still work with us without being an active member of our organization to solve the world problems depending on your convenience.
Q: I am not from India. Can I still become a swaero?
A: Swaeroism intends to become an ideology without borders. We are trying to refine it as universal operating system(OS) for the underprivileged in the world. All you need to do is to understand the spirit of ten commandments, discover your historical roots, assess where your ancestors gone right or wrong, build upon their strengths, start a swaero circle with like-minded friends, discuss the opportunities, and grab them to liberate yourself. Don’t expect others to shower their sympathies on you. It is sheer waste of your time.
Q: Do I have to greet people with Jai Bhim, if I join Swaeroes?
A: Not necessary. It is your personal choice. By chanting Jai Bhim, we are reminding ourselves once again that we must change the world by acquiring knowledge relentlessly.

If you have such great icons with verifiable historical roots in your country, please remember them before you start your day. You are because they were.

Q: Will I get jobs or business opportunities if I join this network?
A: We strongly discourage people joining us with such expectations. We are a movement built on the foundations of giving. This is how we derive happiness, although such happiness is not our primary goal. However, many people discovered plethora of opportunities for jobs, scholarship, and business opportunities after joined the network. Many members have become healthier and fitter and many lives have been saved because of our collective and prompt and preventive action.
Q: What is the eligible age to become a swaero?
A: There is no restriction as such. Although we encourage parents to expose their loved ones to the tenets of swaeroism from the first year itself, we encourage the youngsters to understand the requirements of being a swaero and decide to join. This requires a little maturity to understand the world around us.
Q: I am involved in a criminal case. Am I eligible for membership?
A: If it is proved and you are convicted by the court, you are not eligible. Mere implication in a criminal case will not lead to termination of membership. If internal enquiry by the local committees prove that there is prima facie evidence against you, your membership will be suspended till you come clear of it.

All the leader have to give a declaration during their nomination that they have no such weakness to the substances.
Q: I accepted dowry before I became a swaero. Do I lose membership?
A: No. But we expect that you repay that dowry to your in laws or wife in equal monthly instalments in mutually agreeable terms.

We also encourage our members, while marrying, to openly declare that such marriage is a dowry free marriage, preferably on wedding invitation cards.
A: I am keen to do community service for a while. Do I get any salary during such service?
A: No. Community service is mandatory to our members and purely voluntary and must be done without any expectation in any part of the country. However, the local swaero networks or the community or neighborhood leaders will be encouraged to give basic logistical support to the volunteer. Community service must be at least for 30 days and there is no upper limit for this.
Q: What kind of activities can I do in the community service?
A: Honestly, sky is the limit as long as your intention is to create a just and equal society where everyone gets the respect of being someone with some potential and everyone gets equal opportunity. That said, we generally encourage those activities that help us shape a super progressive human being out of a normal one.
Q: Is observance of Swaero Holy Month mandatory?
A: Yes for all members. Although we should be reflecting on our lives every moment, but given the fast paced mechanical life we have ended up living in this phase of our civilization, we strongly believe that we need a safer sanctuary and distraction free break in our lives to tame our cravings, reflect on our mistakes, dive deeper into the pools of knowledge, and emerge as much wiser human every year.
