[Advaita-l] 1966

[Praveen R. Bhat]

Hari Om, Rajaramji,

I'm not aware of 1966, but few years back, Shankaracharya (HH Raghaveshvara
Bharati Swamiji) of Ramachandrapura maTha in Hosanagara, Shimoga, Karnataka,
started a go-rakshaNe project on a large scale. This was famous all-over
Karnataka and in many states of India. More details at

praNAm,
