Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the state government is developing the 108 feet high statue of Adiguru installed on Omkar Parvat and the Diksha Sthal of Adi Guru Shankaracharya as Ekatma Dham, which is getting completed in a phased manner. Adi Guru Shankaracharya did many great works in his lifetime. Guru Shankaracharya’s consciousness introduces us to the Shastra tradition. India needs all the disciplines of knowledge, spirituality, Shastra and Shastra to become powerful. He said that our saints and ascetics sacrificed their lives for the establishment of religion. There has been a wonderful coordination of the tradition of Shastra with Shastra. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the government has started prohibition of liquor in religious cities. Milk shops are being opened by closing liquor shops. Milk production is being promoted through Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Kamdhenu Yojana. He said that the government will celebrate cultural festivals and festivals with the society. He said that Gita Bhawans are being built in all the urban bodies of the entire state to connect with Sanatan culture and for social events.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the closing ceremony of the five-day ‘Ekatma Parv’ organized by Acharya Shankar Cultural Unity Trust and Culture Department on the birth anniversary of Adiguru Shankaracharya at Ekatma Dham, Omkareshwar on Friday. The ceremony was presided over by Juna Peethadheeshwar Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Avdheshanand Giri. On this occasion, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was welcomed by Maharishi Sandipani Veda Vidya Peeth with Vedic chanting. The Chief Minister offered sacrifice in the sacred Yagya-vedi of the Yagnyashala of Ekatma Dham. He prayed for the happiness, prosperity and well-being of the people of the state by circumambulating the yagna. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, along with the saints, lit lamps and offered floral tributes in front of the statue of Adiguru Shankaracharya. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav welcomed the saints and released the book “Ekatma Dham: Ekatma Ki Yatra”. Also, Acharya Swami Viditatmanand Saraswati and Prof. V Kutumb Shastri of Advaita Vedanta were felicitated. A film centered on Advaita Jagran Yuva Shivir was screened in the program.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that listening to the words of the saints in Ekatma Dham felt like the ocean has been filled in a pitcher. He said that Adi Shankaracharya did so many great works in a short life span of just 32 years which are beyond imagination. Five thousand years ago, Lord Krishna described Advaita Vedanta through Ekatma in the Gita. Krishnatva is seen everywhere in the universe. Shankaracharya’s vision was as unique as the Himalayas. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have got an opportunity to enrich the cultural heritage. In the present times, India needs to become powerful along with knowledge. In Juna Akhara, people became Naga Sanyasis and abandoned worldly life to establish religion. Today there is a need for coordination of scriptures with weapons. In the last 1400 years, a unique form of Indian knowledge tradition and weapons is seen through Shankaracharya. While worshipping our gods with Panchayatan spirit, we have to maintain the spirit of unity.

Junapeethadhiswar Acharya Swami Avdheshanand Giri Maharaj said that hypocrites and ignorant people questioned the authenticity of the Vedas. When the country was turning away from the Vedas, God himself came to earth in the form of Guru Shankaracharya. Had he not come, we would not have been Hindus, Sanatanis and Aryas today. Breaking the diversity, he propagated the principle of unity through Advaita. He said that Chief Minister Dr. Yadav’s resolution to build Gita Bhawans is highly commendable. It is true that there is no movement without cow, there is no intellect without Gita. Now Gita has to be taken to every village. Guru Shankaracharya wrote a commentary on Gita and in it, the unity of the whole world has been talked about through Advaita and Ekatma. In Ekatma Dham, there will be research on Shankaracharya, discussions will be held and world wide publicity will be done. The principle of unity will always be present in the mortal world.

Swami Avdheshanand Giri said that Chief Minister Dr. Yadav is striving for the prosperity of the state with Sanatani values ​​and cultural devotion. There should be a spread of cultural values ​​in the state and the promotion of spiritual values, how to give global grandeur to Simhastha: 2028 in Ujjain, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav has a far-sighted thinking for these works. God has chosen him for these works. Mother Narmada, Kshipra and Omkareshwar have sent Chief Minister Dr. Yadav here. It was told in the function that the work of development of Ekatma Dham is being done by the MP government in 4 phases. In this, the statue of Adi Shankaracharya has been installed in the first phase, in the second phase, a tender is being issued very soon for Advaitlok, a museum based on the life philosophy of Acharya Shankar, in which the work of reaching his life philosophy to the general public through various techniques will be done. In the third phase, Acharya Shankar International Advaita Vedanta Institute will be established for the study, research and expansion of Advaita Vedanta philosophy, this institute will be the reference center of Advaita Vedanta philosophy. In the fourth and final phase, Shankar Nilayam residential complex will be constructed. This Dham will guide not only the country but the world.
