The Gangotri Plan – Knowledge from the peaks to the plains

An afternoon midsummer dream, born on the banks of the roaring Ganga at Gangotri, grew into an irresistible calling. The rushing waters of the mighty river sparked in the young Swami Chinmayananda, a divine vision to bring the ancient wisdom of Vedanta from the Himalayas down to the common people. Gaining permission from his Guru, Swami Tapovan Maharaj, He set out on an All-India Tour from May to October of 1951. When He returned to Uttarkashi, Swami Chinmayananda carefully envisioned the Gangotri Plan, initiating a spiritual revolution through self-unfoldment and selfless service.
