They taught Vedic religion to the African people, visited small towns in East Africa and established a number of centres where Hindi was taught in addition to Vedic religion.

“Taking men into the union is just the kindergarten of their education and every force is against their further education. Men who live up those lonely creeks have only the mine owners’ Y.M.C.As, the mine owners’ preachers and teachers, the mine owners’ doctors and newspapers to look to for their ideas. So they don’t get many.”
