While Adi Sankaracharya' puja was being celebrated, twelve Mahamandaleswaras had foregathered in their special seats in the hail. Erudite speeches were given by Swamis Prakashanandaji, Vidyanandaji, Hansa Prakashji, Shyamsunder Sastriji, Govindanandaji, etc. All of them praised Mataji's efforts to inculcate the worship of Adi Sankaracharya in our Ashram and expressed the hope that this would be followed by classes in Advaita Vedanta and participation in religious concourses in future.
The Mahatmas have gone even further: they have persuaded Mataji to open the Silver Jubilee of the "All India Bharat Vedanta Mahsamelan" in April 1979, to be held by Swami Purnananda Giriji in Sri Krishna Nivas Ashram, Kankhal."
