KATRA, MAY 16: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today invited devotees from India and abroad to the annual Amarnath Yatra which begins on June 29.
Sinha urged the devotees to become the messengers of equality, brotherhood, humanity, and harmony.
“The Amarnath Yatra will start on the 29th of next month. I invite devotees from India and abroad for the ‘darshan’ of Baba Barfani. I also encourage them to offer prayers to Baba Amarnath and Mata Vaishno Devi,” Sinha said while attending Shrimad Bhagavat Katha by Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza at Katra.
Quoting a couplet “Socha tha tujhse door nikal jayenge kahin, dekha to har makaam teri rahgujar 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, according to the announcement by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB).
Sinha was speaking attending Shrimad Bhagavat Katha by Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza Ji at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Spiritual Growth Centre, Katra.
He urged the devotees to spread Shrimad Bhagavat’s message and vision in society and inspire people to dedicate themselves to the cause of equality, brotherhood, humanity, and harmony.
In his address, the Lt Governor spoke about Shravan, Manan, and Nidhidhyasan- the three pillars of Vedantic practice to imbibe Guru’s teachings in daily lives and to strengthen the bonds of oneness in our society. “Righteous life is the only path to attain spiritual growth and to awaken our divinity,” he said.
The Lt Governor lauded the significant contribution of Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza ji 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 the holistic development of individuals and communities across the globe. Education based upon human values is the life mission of Pujya Bhaishri,” the Lt Governor said.
Bhaishri ji has dedicated his life to sharing 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, the Lt Governor 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.
