Bhagat Singh Koshyari

I am thankful to Dr Vaidehi Tamhan and Vedashastra Research and Foundation, who organised such a big award ceremony in Uttarakhand. I appreciate their efforts. Although the Devbhumi Ratna awardees are from different States, selecting and honouring them requires detailed research. I hope there should be more such institutes to teach the Vedas.
