VISION

“Asato Ma Sadgamaya, Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya”

 This is true prayer—the seeker’s admission of his sense of limitedness and his heartfelt cry for assistance in transcendence. It is not a pray for food, shelter, health, partnership, riches, success, fame, glory or even for heaven. The essence of the mantra is the same: “O, Guru, help me free myself from my sundry misunderstandings regarding myself, the universe and God and bless me with true knowledge.” The Credo Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College is dedicated to excellence in teaching and promoting genuine scholarship among its students and faculty members. The college believes that the development of such scholarship shall be contributory to the development of the youth in the country.
