Special presentation of poet Hariom Pawar and Swami Chidananda in Parmarth Niketan

Rishikesh. A wonderful confluence of spirituality, literature and nation building took place today at Parmarth Niketan, the holy banks of Mother Ganga. Famous Oz poet Hariom Pawar ji invited Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj on his 75th birthday. Swami wished Hariom Pawar a happy birthday by giving him a divine Rudraksh plant and gave the message of “Harit Janmotsav – Harit Kavi Mahotsav”. Swami said that in today’s time, festivals are meaningful only when they become useful for the society, nature and the coming generations. Hariom Pawar said that getting the company of Pujya Swamiji on the banks of Mother Ganga is an unforgettable opportunity of life.

During the discussion, Swamy thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the inauguration of the approximately 594 km long Ganga Expressway and said that Uttar Pradesh is now being recognized not only for its rich culture and spiritual heritage but also for its world-class infrastructure.

He said that Ganga Expressway is a symbol of the progress of Uttar Pradesh, which will give a new direction to the geographical structure of the state as well as its economy. This huge corridor from Meerut to Prayagraj will establish new dimensions of time, distance and development. This will create many opportunities for trade, tourism, agriculture, industry, employment and pilgrimage.

Swamiji said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the efficiency of Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and the guidance of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh is continuously touching new heights of progress.

He said that “Uttar Pradesh is taking a new shape, where there are values, employment and progress.” Swamiji appealed to the citizens to follow road safety rules, drive within the prescribed speed limit and maintain caution and restraint while traveling on the Ganga Expressway. He said that “there should be progress in speed, but never too much.”
