Spiritual ideologue of Gayatri Shantikunj Dr Pranav Pandya today arrived in Haridwar after a 10-day visit to the USA and Canada.
Pandya told mediapersons here that his tour was focused on religious, spiritual and social causes. He also inaugurated a spiritual centre dedicated to Gayatri Shantikunj founder Shri Ram Sharma, which is one of its first kind outside India, at New Jersey.
He visited Toronto, Montreal, San Francisco, Chicago, Pensylvania, Washington, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey and others provinces.
He was accompanied by Gauri Shankar Sharma, Dr Chinmay Pandya, Dr Om Prakash Sharma, Prof Vishwa Prakash Tripathi, Raj Kumar Vaishnav, Shanti Bhai Patel, Ramesh Tiwari and Pushkar Raj, and Pandya attended various programmes and events during the stint.
The delegation also performed a 251 Kundiya maha yajna ritual in the USA. Mayor Brien C Wheeler, County Business Development chairperson Keneith Armwood, Council women Barnikova, and Democratic Party member Prafull Shah also participated in the yajna. He gave a spiritual discourse to American youths at a national youth camp.
“American youths are interested in spirituality, and teachings of saints Kabir, Tulsidas, Samarth Guru Ram Das and Gayatri Shantikunj founder Shri Ram Sharma Acharya. They are inclined towards moral and spiritual aspects, which they are trying to find in Indian epics, and teachings of spiritual gurus of India. After having an interaction with them, they seemed to be quite content and wanted to visit Gayatri Shantikunj and Dev Sanskriti University,” said Pandya.
