The first Residential Academy

Gurudev envisioned Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, a Gurukula (residential academy) where the future torchbearers of Vedanta would be trained. Since 1957, he searched tirelessly for the perfect space to build an abode that would kindle the flame of perfection, as its very name suggests. Inspired by one of his powerful talks, a devoted seeker, Smt. Tara Sarup, offered her land in Powai, Mumbai, for this noble cause. Soon, the space for the first Sandeepany Sadhanalaya was registered on January 19, 1960.
