From our acharyas
"Brood less, smile more, and serve all."
The teachings of Pujya Gurudev guide everything we do at CMDFW — from a child learning their first shloka to an adult sitting with a difficult verse of the Gita. Come, walk with us.
— Swami Sarveshananda
"More important than what is behind you and what is ahead of you is what is in you. Seek it. Centred in it, act and live."
