About Mehr
Mehr is a non-partisan movement that was formed with the aim of creating a new political discourse based on Iranian values and humanitarian principles.
What is a political Mehr?
Mehr is a political vision rooted in the ancient Iranian principle of Mehr—a covenant of care, truth, and justice that once bound societies together. At its foundation, Mehr is based on the belief that human dignity, trust, and responsibility constitute the true foundation of a just society.
Why does it matter?
Our world faces profound crises of governance: corruption, inequality, and the abuse of wealth and power. Political charity offers a different path. This approach seeks to separate wealth from executive power, empower local communities to govern themselves, and build institutions based on fairness and moral responsibility, not domination and coercion.
Who is behind this effort?
This movement is led by researchers, entrepreneurs, and citizens who believe that the future of Iran—and the future of humanity—depends on recovering the spirit of love.
What are you invited to do?
It is not a political party, nor an ideology, but a shared framework for rethinking how societies can flourish. We invite you to explore these ideas, ask questions, add your own perspectives, and help shape a vision of governance that serves the people, not the power.
About the book
The Cosmology of Love and The Political Guide to Love offer a new way of thinking about governance. They show how modern political systems—often built on violence, coercion, and the concentration of power—have led to social collapse and disillusionment.
Against this trend, these books rediscover the ancient covenant of mercy and transform it into a new blueprint for institutions committed to truth, justice, and care.
Rather than presenting another ideology or political party, these books invite readers into a framework: a way to separate wealth from power, foster local participatory governance, and build communities in which citizens are bound together by responsibility, not dominance.
About the author
Kamal Azari is a writer, entrepreneur, and founder of the Hope Axis Project. Drawing on Iranian intellectual traditions and global experiences, he has worked for decades at the intersection of society, governance, and entrepreneurship.
His works blend history, political theory, and lived experience to imagine a future beyond corruption and domination.
Azari’s perspective is rooted in both knowledge and practical experience: from building businesses and social institutions in California to designing frameworks for civic renewal in Iran. With Mehr’s Cosmology and Mehr’s Political Guide, he seeks to offer not just a critique but a way forward—a way to reconnect ancient moral codes with modern governance.
