ASHIRVAD
Ashirvad is situated in the heart of the city of Bengaluru. True to its name, Ashirvad has been a blessing to the city through its various inter-religious activities. The Karnataka Jesuits having heavily involved in the ministry of education had decided to diversify their apostolate in 1975 and as a result Ashirvad inter-faith dialogue centre was established with Fr. Ronnie Prabhu as its first director.
Ashirvad organizes different activities in the field of dialogue such as regular bi-monthly prayer meetings; a small group meets twice a month to make an in-depth study of the Saints and Mystics of all religions.
