Goa’s spirituality has reached the nation and abroad due to Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji. With the arrival of saints on the occasion of the Goa Spiritual Festival, Goa is becoming spiritual. Today, the coming generation needs to carry forward the flag of Hindu Dharma. This was stated by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.

The “Goa Spiritual Festival 2026,” conceived by the spiritual leader Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji and organized by Satguru Foundation in association with the Government of Goa under the leadership of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, was inaugurated on 19 February at Sangampur through the grand unveiling of the majestic statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the divine presence of saints.The Chief Minister was addressing on this occasion.

The programme began auspiciously with Sangameshwar Pujan and Maha Aarti at the Triveni Sangam. Thereafter, a grand procession was taken out with great enthusiasm. Amid the chanting of Vedic mantras, the beats of traditional drums, and slogans of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the grand statue unveiling ceremony was completed. Thereafter, the main programme featured Sant Pujan, prayers, and inspiring discourses by the revered saints.

On the dais were Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji (Goa), Mahamandaleshwar Radhe Radhe Babaji Maharaj (Joint National General Secretary, Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti), Sanatan Dharmabhushan Dr. Raj Rajeshwar Guruji (Head – International Siddhashram Shakti Center – London), Goswami Sushil Maharajji (Bhrigu Peethashwar and National Convenor, Bharatiya Sarvdharma Sansad – Delhi), Anant Shri Vibhushit Bhupendra Giriji Swamiji (Haridwar), Mohan Buva Ramdasi (Maharashtra), and Mahamanishi Shri Niranjan Swamiji were present.

A statue of Shiv Chhatrapati should be installed in the Goa Legislative Assembly. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the king of all religions. Live like Shivaji Maharaj, and this responsibility lies with all mothers and sisters. Mothers, create Shiv Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in every household. The Aarti performed at Sangameshwar will be recorded in the history of Goa. The work being done by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant with the thought of Sanatan Dharma is commendable, said Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji.

It is a matter of joy that the ancient name Sangampur is once again becoming people-oriented. It is a matter of pride that the Goa Spiritual Festival has begun in Sangampur. Today, the cultural land of Goa and the village of Sangampur have been sanctified by the footsteps of saints. The work of Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji is inspiring for the coming generation.

The Goa Spiritual Festival is bringing positive change in Gomantak. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the symbol of Rajsatta and Dharmasatta, and because of him the temple spires of Gomantak remained protected. All Goans will always remain grateful for this work, said Minister Subhash Phal Dessai.
