Vedanta Course Inauguration

On the shores of the Powai Lake in Bombay (now Mumbai), to fulfil Gurudev’s vision of a future army of Rishi Putras or Hindu missionaries, the first Vedantic Institute was inaugurated with His opening address: “On Tapovan Day, January 9,1963, the Sandeepany Sadhanalaya shall come to light….This Sadhanalaya stands for the revival of our glorious culture, a culture that will run as a golden chord, binding us all as one people of divine nobility and spiritual brotherhood.”
