He said that the unwavering commitment to service of all those associated with the Shri Paramhans Advait Mat is truly inspiring.

"All those associated with the Shri Paramhans Advait Mat have contributed to nurturing a spiritual tradition that uplifts countless lives. Their unwavering commitment to service is truly inspiring," he added.

Prime Minister Modi participated in the programme at Shri Anandpur Dham in Madhya Pradesh's Ashoknagar.

Addressing the programme, the Prime Minister said, "The resolve to uplift the poor and the deprived...the mantra of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'...this spirit of service...is today the policy and commitment of the government.

PM Modi said that India is a land of sages, wise men and saints. "Whenever our India, our society, goes through a difficult phase, some sage, some wise man, comes to this earth and gives a new direction to the society."

"We can also see a glimpse of this in the life of Pujya Swami Advaitananda Maharaj Ji Maharaj. There was a time when acharyas like Adi Shankaracharya explained the profound knowledge of Advaita philosophy," he said.

Highlighting the significance of Ashoknagar, he said, "The land, every particle of which has been watered by the penance of saints, where charity has become a tradition, where the resolve to serve paves the way for the welfare of humanity, is not an ordinary land.

"I am happy that I have got the opportunity to participate in the celebration of Baisakhi and the birth anniversary of Shri Guru Maharaj Ji here today," he said.

"Today, amid the material progress in the world, we are faced with many big concerns related to war, conflict and human values. At the root of these is a mentality that separates one human from another, that I am different than you.... The solution for these challenges will also be found in Advait's ideas," PM Modi said.

PM Modi also offered prayers at the Guruji Maharaj Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Isagarh. He performed aarti at the Guruji Maharaj Temple and also toured the temple complex at Anandpur Dham.

Anandpur Dham has been established for spiritual and philanthropic purposes. Spanning 315 hectares, it houses a modern gaushala (cowshed) with over 500 cows and runs agricultural activities under the Shri Anandpur Trust campus. The trust has been operating a charitable hospital in Sukhpur village, schools in Sukhpur and Anandpur and various Satsang Centres across the country. (ANI)
