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.
