The Millennium Movement

An important dimension of Prof TRA's personality relates to Spirituality, Philosophy and Religion, particularly of the Vedic and Yogic traditions of India going back to over 4000 years. After retiring from active service, Prof TRA became deeply involved with spreading the message of these traditions. Towards this end, he started a "Millennium Movement" in 2001 from his Ashram Atmadeep located in Gurgaon, Haryana. However, he did not live long enough to take this idea to its logical end.
