Quoting a couplet “Socha tha tujhse door nikal jayenge kahin, dekha to har makaam teri rahguzar mein hai”, the LG said, “God is with you in all your journeys.”
The 52-day pilgrimage to the 3,880-metre-high cave shrine in south Kashmir is scheduled to start on June 29 and conclude on August 19.
In his address, the LG focused on Shravan, Manan and Nidhidhyasan – the three pillars of Vedantic practice – to imbibe the Guru’s teachings in daily lives and strengthen the bonds of oneness in our society.
“A righteous life is the only path to attain spiritual growth and awaken our own divinity,” he said.
He urged the devotees to become messengers and spread Bhagavat’s message and vision in the society, inspiring the people to dedicate themselves to the cause of equality, brotherhood, humanity and harmony.
The Lt Governor lauded the significant contribution of Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza in the field of education, social welfare and upliftment of the deprived sections of the society.
“Pujya Bhaishri is not only a spiritual leader but also a celebrated educationist and humanitarian. He is working with dedication for holistic development of individuals and communities across the globe. Education based upon human values is the life mission of Pujya Bhaishri,” Sinha said.
Bhaishri has dedicated his life to share the eternal wisdom of Sanatan Dharma. He has set an example of how human beings can uplift their lives to be Yagya, an ongoing celebration, he added.
He said the vision of Pujya Bhaishri has led to the establishment of education campuses in Gujarat under the motto-Vidya, Vivek, Vikas to foster sustainable development through value-based equal education for all.
Devka Vidyapeeth established by Pujya Bhaishri is dedicated to girl-child education. Sandipani Gurukul, Vidya Sankul offers modern education rooted in ancient Indian culture, he further added.
