Renowned Vedanta-Philosophy Professor and Past President of India, Most Respected (late) Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday falls on 5th September. This day is observed as Teachers’ Day in India.

A dedicated Kriyaban from Mumbai has written a Message on this occasion. I place this for the perusal of all Kriyabans  for contemplation and meditation.
