Establishment of Gayatri Tirtha in Shantikunj, Hardwar 2

It was further arranged to celebrate four-day annual functions of all these branches in which at least a thousand persons could participate. A team of four musicians and one speaker was deputed in such celebrations from Hardwar to convey New Year's message to the concerned center. Jeeps were arranged for this purpose so that teh luggage of the workers, musical instruments, loud-speakers etc. could also be taken along with them. The driver of the jeep is a trained mission worker. Every worker is now being trained in the skill of driving so that there may not be any difficulty in this respect.

Most of the important literature had already been published while I was living at Mathura. After shifting to Hardwar, it was decided to write eighteen volumes of Pragya Puran in Sanskrit, along with commentary and illustrations and one folder of eight pages daily to acquaint the people with the methods of working of all the Risis. Four volumes of Pragya Purana have already been published. Four hundred folders have also been written. Most of them have been published in Hindi and other important languages.

In order to make arrangements for the spread of the message in all important languages and prepare trained workers in every region, a school of languages and religious instructions have been started in Shantikunj and it has already started working satisfactorily.

The volunteers of this mission undertake countrywide tours and inspire about ten lakh devotees of the mission. The mission's network has been firmly established in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Himanchal Pradesh, Haryana, Orissa and Maharashtra. Attempts are being made to extend the field of operation and publicity, within about four year's time, to the remaining regions of the country which could not be touched so far due to language problems.

Indian migrants numbering really three cores are staying abroad in about seventy-four foreign countries. A successful scheme has been launched to spread the ideology of the Mission amongst these migrants as well as foreigners. It will be possible, in the near future, to spread the light and message of the mission through capable workers in several foreign countries. There is hardly any country inhabited by Indian migrants where a center/branch of this mission has not been set up.

In order to vigorously extend Risi traditions, about a thousand self-sacrificing workers are constantly engaged in this work. For this, a Gurukul Aranyak in the tradition of Risi Jamadagni works regularly at Shantikunj.

In reviving Charak tradition, a garden of rare medicinal herbs has been developed in Shantikunj and research is being conducted with the help of valuable scientific instruments. The theory of treatment by only one medicine at a time is being followed here and the same has proved very efficacious.

Thousands of persons have been trained so far in light music through Yug-Silpi Vidyalaya at Shantikunj and such trained persons are running schools and preparing persons in Yug-Sangit in their respective areas.
