Sant‑Mahants proclaim Sadguru Brahmeshanand as “Goa Swami”
Kundaim, Goa: The Goa Spiritual Festival has resonated not only across Goa but also nationally and internationally. The festival has conveyed to the world the essence of Sanatan Dharma, spirituality, way of life, humanity, service of saints, the purpose of birth, and the message of living with meaning. In the medieval period, Goa’s ancient traditions had faded, but Pujya Swamiji has been reviving them. The credit for strengthening the nation through this spiritual renaissance goes to Pujya Swamiji, said Mahamandaleshwar Swami Dharmadev Maharaj.
During the recently concluded Goa Spiritual Festival 2026, under the divine guidance of Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, saints and Mahants acknowledged the historic spiritual transformation taking place in Goa and proclaimed him as “Goa Swami.” The honor was conferred in the presence of Union Minister Chirag Paswan.
Saints emphasized that the presence of Mahatmas enriches life like the spring season. Saints are those to whom one can open one’s heart freely, and they awaken society. Through this festival, Pujya Swamiji has awakened people towards spirituality, culture, God, nation, and Dharma, said Pujya Sampurnanand Brahmachari.
During the festival, the people of Goa immersed themselves in the wisdom of saints. The chant of “Victory to Gomantak Bhoomi” echoed across the land. The festival has shown that Goa is gradually transforming. The message delivered worldwide was: “Do not come to Goa merely for pleasure, but come to experience the spirit of Rama.” Pujya Swamiji is dedicating himself tirelessly to make society pure and sattvic, said Dandi Swami Jitendranand Saraswati.
The event was graced by many revered saints and Mahants including: Dandi Swami Jitendranand Saraswati (General Secretary, Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti), Mahamandaleshwar Shri Janardan Hari Swamiji (Treasurer, Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti – Maharashtra), Anant Shri Vibhushit Shri Shri 108 Taponishta Agnihotri Pujya Swami Sampurnanand Brahmachari (Secretary, Agni Akhada), Mahamandaleshwar Narayanand Giri Maharaj (Chennai), Sanatan Dharmabhushan Dr. Rajrajeshwar Guruji (Head, International Siddashram Shakti Center – London), Mahamandaleshwar Swami Ashutoshanand Ji (Kailas Math – Kashi), Anantbodh Chaitanya Swamiji (Founder, Sanatan Dhara Foundation – Europe), Mahamandaleshwar Radhe Radhe Babaji (Joint National General Secretary, Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti), Anant Shri Vibhushit Bhuprendragiri Ji (Haridwar), Sant Shri Gopal Chaitanya Maharaj (Shri Vrindavan Dham Pal – Maharashtra), Swami Shri Anantanand Ji (Haridwar), Mahamanishi Shri Niranjan Swamiji (Head, Purusharth Ashram Seva Trust – Haridwar), among others.
