Why We're Gathering: 50 Years of Sweden Training Center
In 1976, the Training Center opened its doors in Sweden as a dedicated place for training acaryas — and for 50 years it has quietly transformed thousands of lives.
We are gathering to celebrate this half-century milestone, honor the dedicated acaryas, and margiis who built this sacred atmosphere, and express deep gratitude for the guidance and inner light received here.
Together we renew our commitment to self-realization and service to all, carrying the legacy forward for generations to come.
