The transformative work initiated by Tai Ma under the core pillars of Seva (selfless service), Shiksha (education), and Sadhana (spirituality) has now spanned five decades.
The vision of Veerayatan was born.
A courageous journey began.
Tai Ma and her Sadhvis reached Bihar.
Compassion became action.
The first eye camps and value-based education programmes began.
Spirituality became art.
Shri Brahmi Kala Mandiram created.
The much-needed quality healthcare was made available to the disadvantaged in society.
The first Veerayatan eye hospital - Netra Jyoti Seva Mandiram – established in Rajgir. Another eye hospital – Shri Adinath Netralay – has since been established in Palitana. Over the years, healthcare services have continued to expand, with the addition of a dental department and, more recently, a Diagnostic Centre in Rajgir.
A life of service was recognised.
The title of Acharya was conferred to Pujya Tai Ma in 1987.
Pujya Tai Ma received the Padma Shri Award by the Government of India in 2022.
The vision crossed oceans to USA, UK, Kenya and beyond.
Veerayatan expanded worldwide.
Hope reached disaster zones.
Veerayatan carried out large-scale relief and rehabilitation following the Kutch and Nepal earthquakes.
Education transformed communities.
The first Veerayatan school opened in Lachhuar, Bihar, followed by many more educational institutions across India – including primary, secondary, vocational training and higher education institutions in Bihar, Kutch, Palitana and Rajasthan.
The journey of Seva, Shiksha and Sadhana continues.
What began as the vision of one compassionate soul has grown into a global movement of service, education, and spirituality - transforming lives every single day.
10,000+ students are educated
8000+ eye operations are carried out
100,000+ patients with eye disorders are seen and treated
200,000+ people visit the Shri Brahmi Kala Mandiram
And behind every life transformed, lives the enduring spirit of Pujya Tai Ma.
