Anubhav Spirituality Center
The word Anubhav in Hindi signifies, Experience. Anubhav - Centre for Spirituality and Inter-Religious Dialogue is a resort for spiritual experiences. Anubhav has the purpose and goal of sharing experiences, enhancing spiritual experiences, deepening contemplative, meditative and prayer experiences, and finally the Institute will help people to reach authentic Gos-Experience.
History
The foundation stone of this center was laid on the 5th January 2003 by Rt. Rev. Bishop Bosco Penha. The initial stage of the building came under heavy impediments from many quarters. But the misgivings were resolved and the construction work began on 19th March 2003. On October 2nd 2004, an Inter-religious dialogue meeting was arranged in the name of Anubhav, to flag off the inauguration events for this Institute. This event was followed by a number of competitions, and celebrations for our parishioners, that culminated in the inauguration of the Centre on 7th December, 2004, with presence of Pro-Nuntio Pedro Lopez Quintana and His Eminence, Cardinal Ivan Dias. Bishop Bosco Penha also graced this occasion with his presence. Fr. Rudolf V. D' Souza OCD is the pioneer of this institute. This institute caters to all the spiritual needs of people, irrespective of cast, creed, religion and tradition. Cardinal Ivan Dias, at present the Prefect of the Evangelization of Peoples in Rome, was a staunch supporter of this project.
