Amit Shah, today inaugurated the Hindu Adhyatmik Aur Seva Mela in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Gujarat Chief Minister, Shri Bhupendra Patel.
In his address, Union Home Minister highlighted the significance of the Hindu Adhyatmik Aur Seva Mela, which brought together over 200 Seva Sanstha on a single platform. He remarked that despite numerous invasions and a long period of slavery, it was the institution of the family and its Indian Hindu values that worked to preserve the unit of the family. He lauded the Mela’s role in fostering the development, preserving, and promotion of these family values.
Amit Shah said that a stall has been set up in this fair dedicated to Ahilyabai Holkar and her life and achievements. He mentioned that Ahilyabai was like a lightning shining in the darkness of that time, who worked throughout her life to restore more than 280 religious places destroyed by Muslims across the country. Shri Shah said that the 300th anniversary of Ahilyabai is being celebrated on a grand scale and in such a situation, the stall set up about Ahilyabai in this fair will prove to be very informative for the youth and women of Gujarat.
In addition, Shri Shah mentioned that the fair features stalls offering urban visitors a glimpse into the tribal lifestyles. He shared that the Mela would host various spiritual activities, including continuous Yagyas conducted in seven Havan Kunds, a Gayatri Maha Yagya, and efforts to revive traditional Indian sports.
Shri Amit Shah said that the Mahakumbh is going on in Prayagraj these days. He said that the whole world is witnessing the Mahakumbh with awe, which is being held in Prayagraj at an auspicious time occurring after 144 years. Kumbh is an event where millions of people gather at one place as soon as the alignment of planets and stars occurs. He emphasized that such a large-scale event is not organized solely based on government arrangements, but rather numerous religious organizations come together to make stay and other arrangements for millions of people. Shri Shah further stated that this remarkable arrangement of the Kumbh has been continuing for thousands of years, uninterruptedly, where millions of people come together. He urged the people of Gujarat to definitely visit the Mahakumbh, as such auspicious opportunities are very rare in life.
