Bhopal: January 18, 2023. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Sant Shiromani Swami Ramanand Ji has contributed a lot in spreading the lessons of social harmony around the world along with the light of devotion and knowledge in human society.

Chief Minister Chouhan expressed these views at Aditi Lawn, Jabalpur on the 723rd birth anniversary of Pujya Adya Ramanandacharya ji Maharaj and birth anniversary of Pujya Jagatguru Sukhanand Dwaracharya Swami Raghav Devacharya ji Maharaj.

CM Chouhan said that today is an auspicious day and it is a happy coincidence that today is the manifestation day of both great personalities. Sages have told us many ways to attain God, in which the bliss in the path of devotion is wonderful in itself. His 12 disciples were Kabirdas, Raidas, Sant Pipa Maharaj, Anantanand, Sukhanand, Dhanna, Senacharya, Padmavati, Bhavanand, Nabhadas, Sursuri, Narharyanand, who have contributed to bringing change in the world with their messages. As per the messages of our saints, God resides in everyone. None is small or big. They took the initiative to eradicate caste discrimination.

The MP CM said that during the Think-20 meeting held in Bhopal held lately under the G-20 program, he told the delegates from abroad that the solution to all the problems of the world lies in our Indian philosophy. We are the people who have the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and the welfare of the world. Indian philosophy also includes the contemplation of worshiping nature, animals, rivers, and mountains. Swami Raghav Devacharya is contributing to carrying forward this tradition through these messages and ideas. He believes that with everyone’s cooperation, we can take Jabalpur to that point, where the whole world can see that it is a place of culture. Chief Minister Chouhan was honored with Adya Guru Ramanandacharya Alankaran in the program. The CM obtained blessings by offering prayers to Swami Raghav Devacharya. Jagatguru Swami Raghav Devacharya also gave his blessings to CM Chouhan.
