Dharmaram College is a major seminary of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate congregation and constituent college of Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram. It was started in 1833 at Chethipuzha, Kerala and relocated to Bangalore, India in 1957. The name Dharmaram is a portmanteau of the Sanskrit words dharma (understood in this context as "virtue") and arām (garden), to mean "garden of virtue." The name "garden of virtue" refers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotional title of Jesus under which the university is consecrated. "Isabhakti Paramjnanam," "Love of God is the Supreme Wisdom" is the motto of Dharmaram.
The aim of Dharmaram is to form holistically, spiritually, intellectually and culturally future generation priests who are prepared to commit themselves to the service of the Church and the world.
