| With
an increase in the number of devotees, there arose a need for
a new building. To solve this problem a piece of land very near
the Mother's House (only 200 feet) was purchased when Swami
Jnanatmananda was the head of the Udbodhan (during 1958 - 1967).
Later, a four-storey building was constructed on this piece
of land and the Udbodhan Office was shifted there. |

|
 |
The
building was constructed in phases under different Presidents
of the Udbodhan. Swami Nityaswarupananda (during 1967 - 1968)
started the work, Swami Viswashrayananda (during 1973 - 1978)
finished the building up to the third storey, i.e. the major
portion of the work was done during his time. Swami Hiranmayananda
(during 1979 - 1981) completed the top floor. |

The ground
floor of this building houses the offices, the President's
office, sales room, godown for the books, despatch section,
accounts office; the first floor has the offices for the Udbodhan
magazine and proof-reading room and an auditorium dedicated
to Swami Saradananda. Lectures and classes are conducted in
this hall. The second floor houses the editorial office of
the Udbodhan, residence of the editor. There is also a public
library. The third
floor is used exclusively as monks' quarters.
