JAMMU, Apr 4: Ahead of his 30th birthday, Anant Ambani, the youngest son of the Ambani family embarked on a deeply personal padyatra to the holy Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka to seek spiritual blessings.
Anant Ambani started a 170-kilometre padayatra from Jamnagar, his ancestral hometown and karmabhoomi, to Dwarka, one of India’s holiest cities.
He will reach Dwarka, a city that is etched in India’s religious and spiritual lore, on April 8-a day before his 30th birthday.
Ambani’s padayatra is also remarkable for the fact that the strenuous journey has been undertaken surmounting the debility caused by Cushing’s Syndrome, a rare hormonal disorder and morbid obesity, as well as asthma and a severe lung disease.
Along this spiritual padyatra, Anant has been chanting hanuman chalisa, sundarkand and devi stotra on his way to Dwaraka.
The younger son of Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani is a devout Sanatani who wears his spiritual passion on his sleeve.
Some of India’s most iconic religious destinations are his regular haunts and the beneficiaries of his munificence, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Kamakhya, Nathdwara, Kalighat and the Kumbh Mela, to name just few.
There is also a business to run-he oversees the world’s largest refinery and directs the country’s biggest new energy transformation projects.
Ambani is showing that he can walk in the footsteps of a hoary spiritual tradition while also creating the future in the world of business.
