Dear Patron,
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, founded in 1938 by the illustrious philosopher-statesman, thinker, writer and Father of the Indian Cultural Renaissance, Dr. K.M. Munshi, with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi, has emerged as the largest National Institution with an international outlook totally apolitical and by virtue of its contributions in its chosen area of service, come to be recognized by the Government of India as “An Institution of National Eminence” It was awarded the Gandhi Peace Prize for 2002.
The continued and enthusiastic support, assistance and active participation of good friends of your stature, has helped the Bhavan to grow, against all vicissitudes, and establish 120 Kendras, 7 Overseas Centres and 395 constituent Institutions. In the education field itself it has come to be recognized and preferred as a premier educational institution of the country with over 2,20,000 students benefiting annually nationwide. Its publications numbering 2000 as of now, authored by thinkers, philosophers, saints, scientists and historians are finding their place in houses and libraries throughout the world.
It brings out Bhavan’s Journal, the English fortnightly, Navneet, a Hindi monthly, Navneet Samarpan, a Gujarati monthly, Samvid, a Sanskrit quarterly and Bharatiya Vidya, a research journal and Dimdima, a children’s magazine.
In Dr. Munshi’s words, “The Bhavan is growing because it is ceaselessly striving to satisfy to some extent the hunger created by our renaissance in sensitive minds to recapture the fundamental values of our culture in a from suited to modern conditions, cutting across political, religious and socio-economic barriers.”
Bhavan upholds our ancient concepts :
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - “The world is one family”
Sarva Dharma Samabhav - Equal respect for all religions and Aa no bhadraah Kratavoyantu vishwatah - “Let noble thoughts come to us from every side”.
The above connotations vindicate unequivocally the catholicity of mind, the democratic fibre and the secularistic character enshrined in our culture from time immemorial.
We therefore invite you to join us in continuing this pious and holy campaign and thus strengthen Bhavan’s hands in its relentless efforts.
We welcome you affectionately into the Bhavan’s family.
With warm regards.
