Thousands of Gayatri devotees from across India and around the world are expected to gather for this monumental occasion. The celebrations are being organized under the guidance of Shantikunj, Haridwar, the international headquarters of the All World Gayatri Pariwar.
Preparations Kick Off at Bharat Mandapam
In anticipation of the massive gathering, a special preparatory meeting for workers from the National Capital Region (NCR) was recently held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. During this gathering, participants pledged to work collectively to ensure the success of the centenary celebrations and vowed to spread the ideals of Mataji among the masses to aid in nation-building.
Union Minister of State Durga Das Uikey attended the gathering as the chief guest. Addressing the participants, he noted that the current era is a period of transformation, offering new possibilities for positive social change. He specifically highlighted the rising role of women, stating they are becoming powerful agents of national reconstruction and are contributing significantly to India's progress through their talent and organizational strength.
A Confluence of Three Historic Milestones
Dr. Chinmay Pandya, Vice President of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya and Leader of the Janm Shatabdi Samaroh, presided over the meeting. He pointed out that this event is not just a single celebration but a confluence of three significant milestones:
- The birth centenary of Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma Ji.
- The centenary of the Akhand Deep.
- The centenary of the spiritual austerities of Yug Rishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya Ji.
Dr. Pandya described this confluence as a powerful message for society, urging people to transform spiritual practice into service and spiritual consciousness into meaningful social change. He emphasized that the present period is a crucial time for the awakening of Indian identity and spirituality.
Commitment to National Progress
The All World Gayatri Pariwar remains committed to building an India where citizens take pride in the nation's heritage. Dr. Pandya stressed that there is a collective responsibility to take the message of nation-building to every section of society by strengthening awareness of moral values, ethical conduct, and national duties.
Adding to the sentiment of civic responsibility, Vikas Kumar, IAS, Managing Director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), remarked that patriotism and active participation in development form the very foundation of a prosperous India.
The preparatory gathering saw a massive turnout of more than 1,000 workers from the NCR region.
