February 17, 2021, was an amazing day at Georgetown University according to Brahmachari Sharan, the former director for Dharmic Life. Brahmachari (pictured in the video below) spent the day translating Urdu, Gujarati, and Hindi from the shrine-makers in Ahmedabad, India who were on hand via video call as they guided the Georgetown team in D.C. in putting together the first shrine for Dharmālaya: the Dharma Meditation Space. “It is such an honor to witness the dreams of our students coming true,” said Brahmachari.
