The Maha Bodhi Society continues today, its India branch headquartered in Kolkata with centres at Buddhagaya, Sarnath, Lumbini, New Delhi, Bhubaneswar, Nowgarh and Lucknow, still running the pilgrim services, welfare work and The Maha Bodhi journal that Dharmapala's Society began more than a century ago. The spread of centres across those specific sites, Buddhagaya and Sarnath among them, tracks the actual geography of the Buddha's own life and teaching, so the Society's modern network of branches functions as a working pilgrimage infrastructure rather than only an administrative headquarters system.
That continuity, the same journal still publishing and the same core mission of Buddhist revival and pilgrimage support still active across seven branch centres, marks the Maha Bodhi Society as one of the longer running institutional legacies of the nineteenth century Buddhist revival movement Dharmapala helped lead, still operating in essentially the same territory his original 1891 campaign for the Mahabodhi Temple was fought over. A Society that began as one man's campaign centered on a single disputed temple has grown, across more than a century, into a network spanning the full geography of the Buddha's own life, from his birthplace at Lumbini to the deer park at Sarnath where he first taught.
