His translation of the Srimad Bhagavatam is his life's most valued work. Comprising 14,613 verses, the translation runs over 2,400 printed pages.

He also was very much active in the efforts to promote Vedic studies in association with the famous Vedic Study Centres at Thirunavaya, Kadavalloor and Thrissur.

Yes, Sri Yogananda-ji,

Some of the awardees were anti-Indic people. 

Good to know that this time it did not happen that way.
