On the occasion of 50 years of BAPS in North America (1974-2024), we present a six-episode documentary highlighting how the spiritual organization has grown over the past 50 years from a small mandir in a basement in Flushing, NY to over 117 mandirs in USA and Canada. Each episode is presented in two parts.
EPISODE 1: FOUNDATIONS (Part 2 or 2)
How did a small group of pioneers in USA and Canada in the 1970s lay the foundation for a thriving spiritual community? How did a spiritual leader's vision plant the seeds for future growth? How did his successor make a vision a mission?
Discover the vision, faith, and perseverance that sparked the growth of BAPS in North America.
