This announcement is a re-establishment of the eternal ideal of Indian culture where the daughter has been given not only respect but also the right to education, values ​​and self-reliance.

Swami Chidanand Saraswati, while wishing Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri ji on his holy birthday, said, may God grant you good health, longevity, unbroken energy and strength for continuous welfare of the people. With your penance, devotion and powerful speech, you kept hoisting the divine flag of Sanatan Dharma in every corner of the world. With your inspiration, religion, culture, patriotism and unwavering devotion towards Lord Shri Ram and Shri Hanuman ji are awakening in many hearts. May your life always be dedicated to religion, service and welfare of humanity. May you be blessed with a long life, may you always be healthy and happy.

Swami said that knowledge gives us direction, meditation connects us to divinity and charity makes life meaningful. When these three come together in life, then not only the individual but the entire society and nation becomes awakened. He said that today’s India is not only moving towards becoming an economic superpower, but it also has the ability to guide the entire world with the light of its spiritual consciousness and the credit for this goes to our sage tradition and saint tradition.

During the program, the grand release of the work ‘Mera Sanyasi’ written by Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri ji was also completed. This work is a living document of deep experiences of Guru-disciple tradition, renunciation, dedication, spiritual practice and eternal philosophy of life. The launch of the book took place in the dignified presence of the saints and special guests. After that thousands of devotees recited Hanuman Chalisa and Sunderkand in unison. The entire Bharat Mandapam echoed with the slogans of Shri Ram and Hanuman ji.

Acharya Dhirendra Krishna Shastri ji said in his address that Sanatan is not just a tradition, but the eternal art of living. As long as our culture, our values, our mother power and our young generation remain connected to our values, India’s future will always be bright. He called upon the society to make religion a practical form of their life through service, compassion, education and nation building.

Swami Chidanand Saraswati said that India’s eternal philosophy is the light that can show the entire humanity the path to peace, compassion, co-existence and the feeling of global family. He urged the youth to remain connected to their spiritual roots even while adopting modernity, because this is India’s biggest strength.

In the Mahotsav of Knowledge, Charity and Meditation, the words of saints, resolve to serve and cooperation of the society were seen together. This event will become such a chapter of inspiration for the coming generations, where the huge message of service with devotion, education with values ​​and nation building with spirituality will reach the entire society.
