Recognising the invaluable contributions of our Gurus, Grateful2Gurus is an important initiative that is very close to our hearts at Indic Academy. We extend our warmest invitation to everyone in Bangalore.

Back in 2016-17, Indic Academy began the initiative of Grateful2Gurus with the felicitation of 6 venerable scholars. Later, we linked up this program to Gurupurnima during the year 2018 and felicitated 11 outstanding contributors to our Dharma. During the year 2019, we decided to extend and reach out more and venerate 108 Gurus. We called for nominations announcing the same on various platforms and received an overwhelming response of hundreds of suggestions. From these nominations, our internal committee shortlisted 108 names.
