Launch of the Monthly Magazine – Usha

Named after the Hindu goddess of dawn, indicating a new beginning and revival, Usha, the monthly magazine of Chinmaya Mission had its first issue released on March 15, 1958. In the editorial Gurudev wrote, “It is time that the Groups must come together and their activities get somehow co-ordinated and systematized, each group drawing its inspiration from its sister-groups functioning elsewhere in India. USHA will be this messenger; she will contact all Groups by her awakening rays!”
