DW Bureau | Panchkula, 2nd November 2025 : The Sanatan Sanskriti Jagran Abhiyan, organized by Vishwa Jagriti Mission at Shalimar Ground in Panchkula, was marked by immense grandeur and spiritual energy. During this four-day event, the Mission's 5th Gurukul project, proposed for Punjab, was inaugurated. This Gurukul will develop as a confluence of culture, education, and service in India. Previously, Vishwa Jagriti Mission had established three Gurukuls in Nagpur, Kanpur, and Delhi, while the 4th Gurukul was unveiled in Kolkata. Now, this fifth Gurukul proposed for Punjab will write a new chapter in the model education-culture journey and will undoubtedly prove to be a milestone for the Mission's resolution to establish 10 Gurukuls.

During the program, the progress of the Sanskar Kendras (cultural centres) operated by the Mission was also highlighted. Vishwa Jagriti Mission aims to establish 108 Sanskar Kendras across the country, 32 of which are already active, and the establishment of the remaining centres is progressing rapidly. Through these centres, children benefit from 'Sanskar Nursery' where discipline, gratitude, values, and national spirit are being sown.

The dignified presence of special guests further enhanced the divine splendour of the event. On this occasion, the Honourable Chief Minister of Haryana, Nayab Singh Saini; Yog Guru Swami Ramdev Ji; Acharya Balkrishna Ji; the Honourable Governor of Haryana, Aseem Kumar Ghosh; the Honourable Governor of Punjab, Gulab Singh Kataria; the Honourable Governor of Himachal Pradesh, Shiv Pratap Shukla; former Honourable Chief Minister Shri Jai Ram Thakur; and the Honourable Speaker of the Haryana Assembly, Harwinder Kalyan, marked their presence. All guests described this campaign by Vishwa Jagriti Mission as a significant initiative towards India's moral and cultural resurgence and an inspiring medium for national character building.

Haryana Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini said it is a matter of great pride to honor the distinguished personalities who are working to carry forward the country’s rich cultural heritage. He expressed deep reverence for Param Pujya Maharajshri Ji, acknowledging his remarkable contributions in the fields of spirituality and public service. “I bow to Param Pujya Maharajshri Ji for his tireless work in awakening spiritual consciousness and serving humanity,” the Chief Minister said while addressing the Sanatan Sanskriti Jagran Abhiyan.

Addressing the four-day Sanatan Sanskriti Jagran Abhiyan Mahotsav in Panchkula, Param Pujya Maharajshri Ji said that a person who possesses the strength to control and compose oneself is truly religious. He emphasized that the spirit of forgiveness and the ability to stay balanced in challenging times reflect true religiosity. Highlighting the eternal nature of Sanatan Dharma, Maharajshri Ji said that what has no end is Sanatan, and one who exercises self-control and discipline is a true Sanatani. He added that a life guided by religious values is pure and meaningful, and those who act with wisdom and understanding are deserving of being called religious and Sanatani. Quoting Swami Vivekananda, he reminded the gathering that the moment one makes a decision is the moment when destiny is shaped, underscoring that religion should always be an integral part of life.

Organized jointly by the Punjab, Himachal, and Haryana chapters, the objective of this program is to disseminate the values of India's Sanatan culture to every individual and connect the new generation with the 'Sanskar Kranti' (cultural revolution). The attendance of thousands of devotees at this event has proven that India's roots are still nourished by culture, harmony, and faith.

The event commenced with soulful bhajans, kirtan meditation sessions, discourses, and cultural performances, which imbued the atmosphere with devotion and reverence. Pujya Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj's inspiring discourses conveyed the message to people to adopt the importance of self-control, service, and spiritual practice in life. Meanwhile, Dr. Archika Didi, Vice President of the Mission, inspired the youth to live a life rich in character, gratitude, and creativity.

Through this event, Vishwa Jagriti Mission made it clear that the Sanatan Sanskriti Jagran Abhiyan is not a limited initiative but a continuous national movement working towards establishing values rooted in India on a global scale. This program held in Panchkula is a golden chapter in this series, which has generated a new wave of cultural consciousness not only in Haryana but throughout North India. This campaign is a sacred endeavor to unite society, awaken the mind, and reconnect India with its soul.
