“Of the many institution
that were born in the ferment of India’s struggle
for independence, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan occupies
a unique place for its vision, activities and its
continuing contribution to the realization of the
fundamental goods of the Freedom Movement.”
The Bhavan has also been unique in attracting men
and woman of exceptional caliber and character decade
after decade since its inception in 1983. This speaks
for the power of the blessing of Mahatma Gandhi which
it had received at its birth and also for the farsightedness
of its founder, the late Dr. K. M. Munshi…
It is only instruments like the
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan which can guide the society
along the desired path by radiating the light and
wisdom of our ancient and modern seers.
There can be no two opinions that the Bhavan has been
in the forefront of transmitting the knowledge and
wisdom of the great minds of India both within the
country and through its branches abroad. In doing
so, the Bhavan has truly lived up to its Rigvedic
motto: Aa No Bhadraha Kratavo Yantu Vishwataha: Let
Nobel Thoughts Come To Us From Every Side. The Bhavan
has blended all the spiritual and intellectual streams
of India and the world-and for this, too, it deserves
to be heartily commended.
I join millions of my countrymen in wishing the very
best for the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s noble
endeavours in the coming decades.”
