The second phase of Shantikunj and Gayatri Family’s centennial events spotlighted Dev Sanskriti University’s convocation in Haridwar, drawing spiritual luminary Juna Peethadheeshwar Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Awadheshanand Giri. As chief guest, he honored 1,160 students with degrees and gold medals, fueling an electric wave of enthusiasm.
From excellence in academics to specialized streams, graduates shone brightly, their achievements met with roaring ovations. The venue pulsed with familial joy, capturing moments of pure elation.
In candid media remarks, Swami Giri portrayed Sanatana tradition as an unparalleled socio-spiritual revolution. Central to the Gayatri Family’s ethos is radical equality—gender parity, caste neutrality, universal divinity.
He elaborated, ‘Indian ethos proclaims our singular essence in Brahman. This profound truth distinguishes Bharat globally.’ Acknowledging the family’s sustained drive for constructive change, he hailed it as an eternal mission.
Tackling debates on non-Hindu access to sacred precincts, he stressed utmost priority on sanctity. ‘Tirthas are faith’s fortresses, demanding strict adherence to decorum and security,’ he noted.
Echoing broader implications, the gathering reinforced education’s role in perpetuating cultural legacies, inspiring a new generation to embrace unity and discipline.
