Bhāvaye Paramātmānam – Manifestation of the Devine

Share this bhavaye-poster with your friends and family

“We do not say there are many gods. We do not say there is one God. We say there is ONLY God.” These profound words of Swami Dayananda Saraswati have been the inspiration for this uniquely presented concert. Bhāvaye Paramātmānam is our 2020 donor appreciation event and is dedicated to Swami Dayananda Saraswati, AIM for Seva’s founder, on his 90th jayanti this year. He firmly believed in the validity of all cultures, and exhorted everyone to preserve and celebrate the diverse forms.
