Munshi on 7th December, 1938. The Bhavan was instituted with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi and the founding members of the Bhavan included Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Shri C.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, several distinguished scholars, statesmen and leaders of Modern Indian Renaissance From small beginnings, the Bhavan has grown into an All-India Intellectual, Cultural and Educational Movement.

During the past six decades, a world falling to pieces under the impact of an amoral technological avalanche, the Bhavan - has been steadfastly endeavoring to hold fast to the fundamental values of life and has perseveringly contributed its mite to foster these values, reintegrating them with new elements represented by modern conditions based, on advancement of Science and Technology. "Science has a habit of questioning: spirituality is based on certain known principles, but, eventually-though the paths might be different, both are seeking the truth." We exhort upon our students 10 think ahead, think big, have a vision and determination to achieve your cherished goal. The Bhavan believes in integrating Science and spirituality as they both are complimentary and mutually invigorating and as such while promoting modern scientific progress the Bhavan seeks to strike a synthesis between material and spiritual values. Revitalising ancient values and reintegrating them to the present day changing needs of modern times alone, will give people the strength to assimilate whatever is good in the New Technology and thoughts without being swept off their feet. The Blending of the two : Modern & living Ancient thoughts, both enriching each other is Bhavans endeavour. The Bhavan believes that there are elements in all cultures, which transcend all barriers and knit people together |
