I have been very impressed with the standards achieved by the medical and para-medical staff. Dr. Sil is one of the inspirational doctors, who will remain in my memory. I leave with a real respect to the work here and a real respect for Swamiji and the people at the Asram. I also have a new knowledge and real respect for the Hindu religion. Thank you very much.”

“It was privilege to be able to visit the Asram, including the Eye Care Programme. Thoughts and deeds here blend together, the mission of opening the World to whom it remained closed is successfully pursued. The blind and sighted appreciate the beauty of creation and worship the God with joy. Hope, we could apply the learning of the Asram in our work and life.”
