Experience this spirituality when you visit Goa : Union Minister Chirag Paswan

Today I am present here not as a minister, but as a devotee who is deeply connected with spirituality. It is essential to introduce our future generations to spirituality and culture. If even one youth connects with spirituality and culture because of my presence today, I will consider my presence successful. It is the responsibility of every Sanatani to carry our culture forward along with the revered saints. I appeal to citizens from India and abroad that Goa is a land adorned with diverse cultures and is also a deeply spiritual region. Whenever you visit Goa in the future, do come to experience this spirituality and make sure to visit Goa’s ancient temples. This was stated by Union Minister Chirag Paswan.

With the vision that Goa’s beaches should be recognized globally not merely as tourist destinations but as centers of spiritual energy, the Sea Aarti ceremony under Goa Spiritual Festival 2026 was held in a grand manner at Calangute Beach. He was speaking on this occasion.

Words fall short to praise Brahmeshanand Swamiji : Mahant Ravindrapuriji

Goa is the sacred land of Lord Parashurama. Today, the Chief Minister of Goa is striving for the upliftment of Sanatan Dharma. The entire Goa has become imbued with saffron spirit, and efforts are being made so that Goa is known not as a land of indulgence but as a land of yoga and spirituality. Brahmeshanand Swamiji is leading this sacred Parashuram Bhoomi, and words are insufficient to praise him. This was expressed by the President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad, Mahant Ravindrapuri Swamiji.

The auspicious beginning of the program was marked by Mahapujan at Shri Shantadurga Temple. Thereafter, amidst the resonating beats of dhol-tasha, chants of victory, and the divine Harinaam, a grand procession was taken out in the holy presence of saints and mahants. In the main ceremony that followed, the state leadership ceremonially honored the spiritual leadership (Sant Pujan), the grand Sea Maha Aarti was performed in the presence of saints, Union Minister Chirag Paswan was felicitated and shared his thoughts, revered saints delivered their blessings, and Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji was conferred the title “Goa Swami” in a grand honor by the saints and mahants. Thousands of devotees were present.

Popular young Union Minister Chirag Paswan is an inspiration for today’s youth, and all the youth of Goa are urged to follow the example of leaders like him. Chirag Paswanji is working today to take India to greater heights. The Goa Spiritual Festival is being accomplished by the divine will of Gau Mata, and through this medium, an appeal is made to the entire world to come to Goa to learn yoga and culture. Goa’s culture embodies ‘Atithi Devo Bhava.’ All saints and mahants are also requested that wherever they travel, they should present the true identity of Goa before their disciples. This appeal was made by Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji.
