'''NarNarayan Dev Yuvak Mandal''' (NNDYM) ([[Devnagari]]: नरनरायन देव युवक मनदल) was founded by [[Koshalendraprasad Pande]] (then pre-acharya) in 1994 with its headquarters at the [[Kalupur Swaminarayan Mandir]] ([[Ahmedabad]]) and was created to help young people to confront the challenges of life.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.khaasbaat.com/aug2005/faith.htm | title=Faith & Worship}}</ref>   

This step set into motion various initiatives by this organization to build a foundation of young people around the globe. The organisation propagates [[dharma]] (duty), [[bhakti]] (devotion), [[jnana|gnaan]] (knowledge), and [[vairagya]] (detachment from [[Maya (illusion)|maya]]).

The goal stated for the InSight website is "to provide a forum for youths to discuss life in the western world while trying to balance and understand the philosophies of the Swaminarayan Sampraday", with an emphasis on humanity in addition to religiousness. It emphasizes understanding of the [[Swaminarayan Sampraday]], the [[Nar Narayan Dev Gadi]], under the acharya [[Koshalendraprasadji]] and Param Pujya, Lalji Maharaj 108 Shree [[Vrajendraprasadji]] Maharaj.

Satsangi youths provide content and the online platform allows readers to comment, discuss, and explore a Satsangi community.<ref>[http://www.nndyminsight.org InSight] (website)</ref>
