A Unified Hindu Venture – VHP

The plan for Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) was developed on 29-30 August 1964, in the sacred ashram of Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai, around the auspicious time of Krishna Janmashtami. Named “Vishwa Hindu Parishad” to spearhead a World Hindu Convention in 1966, it was envisioned as a spiritual and cultural body with no political affiliation. Gurudev, as the first acting President, welcomed over sixty delegates from the different branches of Hinduism to unite, spread, and strengthen the Hindu values of living worldwide.
