Haridwar buzzed with reverence on the second day of the monumental Guru Samadhi and statue unveiling at Bharat Mata Temple. Saints, politicians, and cultural icons converged to remember Swami Satyamitranand Maharaj, the Padma Bhushan-honored saint whose work fortified Sanatan Dharma and Bharat’s spirit.
Swami’s founding of the temple symbolized unwavering commitment to patriotism and ancient wisdom, cementing his legacy as a guardian of Indian ethos.
Uttarakhand’s Pushkar Singh Dhami captivated the audience: ‘Dedicated to Swami Satyamitranand, guru of Awadheshanand Giri, this event celebrates his cultural promotion and harmony efforts. A patriot extraordinaire, he will guide coming generations in Sanatan service.’
Joining from Madhya Pradesh, CM Mohan Yadav hailed the invitation from Juna Peethadheeshwar Maharaj. He narrated the glorious tale of the temple’s inception, declaring the event triumphant with luminaries in attendance.
Swami Awadheshanand Giri revealed more star attendees: Bihar Governor, J&K’s Manoj Sinha, Yogi Adityanath, and Rajnath Singh. ‘We’re deliberating national unity and Sanatan principles—India’s very backbone. Its vitality sustains the nation,’ he proclaimed.
Baba Ramdev’s words resonated deeply: ‘Claiming supremacy in path, nation, caste, or views breeds chaos. All host the same eternal truth. Sanatan fosters equality; emulate saints like Satyamitranand for spiritual strength.’
The proceedings blended devotion with discourse, highlighting how Swami’s ideals continue to unite diverse voices for India’s cultural renaissance.
