Saints and sages, whether in India or other countries, have always thought exclusively for the welfare of society, which is why there is immense respect for saints in society. Sanatan Dharma considers everyone equally. Just as the sun provides light equally to all without any discrimination based on caste, creed, rich, poor, high, or low, God’s blessings are received equally by everyone. Programs should be held in temples where thoughts of God are shared, and such thoughts bring stability to society’s intellect. Do not organize programs in temples that lead society toward degeneration. Make efforts to ensure that the younger generation does not fall into bad addictions. Acquire the best of education, but never forget your God and your parents—expressed Padmashri awardee Adhyatma Shiromani Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, Peethadhishwar of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth.

Under the Silver Jubilee year of Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji’s accession to the Peetha, a grand spiritual event titled “Hi Sadguru Krupa” was organized on Sunday, the 1st, at the Shree Sateri Sansthan, Siolim, jointly by the Sant Samaj – Siolim Danda & Rai Oshel operating under Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth. Pujya Swamiji was addressing the gathering on this occasion.

Further speaking, Pujya Swamiji said, “Teach your children from a young age never to do any wrong deed that would bring disgrace to their parents’ character, and children must not behave in a manner that brings disrepute to the deities residing in temples, by whose blessings we all live. Protecting temples and religious traditions is the responsibility of every Hindu. God and Dharma must be supreme. Every mother should wish within herself that the child born from her womb never walks the path of evil—only then does she become a true mother.” Such inspiring guidance was also given by Pujya Swamiji.

While Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth continues to carry out divine work across various fields—religious, spiritual, educational, social, and cultural—through the core formula of Dev, Desh, and Dharma (God, Nation, and Religion), the principal objective of this celebration under the concept of “Spiritual Parva 2025: From Self-Knowledge to Universal Welfare” was to glorify the Guru Tattva, promote Indian culture, nurture spiritual values, and spread virtuous thoughts in society. On this occasion, various temples in the Siolim region were also honored as “Divya Devasthan Gaurav” at the auspicious hands of Pujya Swamiji.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of Rajya Sabha MP Sadanand Shet Tanavade, Calangute MLA Michael Lobo, Siolim MLA Delilah Lobo, Sadguru Foundation President Adv. Brahmideviji, Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth Sant Samaj Organization President Ramchandra Naik, District Panchayat Member Maheshwar Govekar, Sarpanches, representatives of various temples, and other dignitaries.

Brahmeshanand Swamiji Brought Radical Changes in Goa Through His Work: MP Sadanand Tanavade While celebrating the Silver Jubilee year of Pujya Brahmeshanand Swamiji’s accession to the Peetha, if we review the work of the past twenty-five years, he has brought about a radical and transformative change in Goa through his endeavors. From Chaturved Pathshalas, Sanskrit pathshalas in every corner of Goa, a residential school imparting good values, to Goa’s sole Goa University-recognized Sanskrit college, as well as graduating scholars in yoga, vastu, and astrology—he has shaped them all. Tourists used to view Goa merely as a land of entertainment, but Pujya Swamiji showcased to the world through the Goa Spiritual Festival that Goa is a spiritual land, a land of the divine cow (Go Mata), and a land of saints. Pujya Swamiji has accomplished such divine work by bringing together saints from all over India during his tenure, stated Rajya Sabha MP Sadanand Shet Tanavade.

Brahmeshanand Swamiji’s Leadership Across India and Abroad is a Matter of Pride for Goa: Michael Lobo Witnessing Pujya Brahmeshanand Swamiji’s spiritual work, he receives invitations from various countries. The leadership demonstrated by Brahmeshanand Swamiji in programs and conferences organized by various institutions in India and abroad is a matter of great pride for Goa. Through his thoughts, he conveys the message that everyone must unite, engage in positive dialogue to avoid wars, and live together in peace. Similarly, by visiting various places across Goa, his lectures aim solely at helping us become better human beings, guiding our conduct and thoughts so we do not stray onto wrong paths—this is his earnest aspiration and dedication, expressed Calangute MLA Michael Lobo.

Belagavi: Looking at the culture of our country India, one realizes that saints like Gadge Baba changed the very face of the nation. Though he had no formal education, he was a saint who inspired others toward education and cleanliness, bringing about a true revolution in the country. At a young age, Sant Dnyaneshwar contemplated the welfare of the entire universe; such diverse saints have left their glorious imprint through their works in this land. India is a country of saints, sages, and seers. If we preserve our Sanatan culture, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will be born in every single household, stated Padmashree Awardee, Adhyatma Shiromani Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, Peethadhishwar of Sri Datta Padmanabh Peeth.

A grand spiritual event titled “Guruḥ Sākṣāt Parabrahma” was organized by Sri Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Belagavi – Karnataka, on Sunday the 18th at the Maratha Mandir Cultural Hall in Belagavi, marking the Silver Jubilee Year of Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji’s ascension to the Gurupeeth. Pujya Swamiji was addressing the gathering on this occasion.

Further elaborating, Pujya Swamiji said that today people possess degrees and worldly success, but lack values (sanskar). We have firmly fixed in our minds that wearing fine clothes, expensive jewelry, and earning abundant wealth is everything. However, our culture teaches us that wearing ornaments on one’s hands is not true adornment; rather, charity (giving) is the true ornament of the hands. If we are Hindus, scriptures should reach our ears every day. We must not abandon our culture even if we lose our lives, for only then will this Mother India bestow her blessings upon us, Pujya Swamiji urged.

While Sri Datta Padmanabh Peeth carries out exemplary work across diverse fields—religious, spiritual, educational, social, and cultural—through the core formula of God, Nation, and Dharma, the primary objective of this ceremony was to propagate the glory of the Guru element, nurture Indian culture, foster spiritual values, and spread value-based thoughts in society under the vision of the Spiritual Festival 20250: From Self-Knowledge to Universal Welfare. Additionally, the Tapobhoomi Calendar 2027 Karnataka Edition was unveiled during the event.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of Union Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, Shripad Naik; Mayor of Belagavi, Preeti Vinayak Kamkar; Chairperson of Satguru Foundation, Adv. Brahmi Deviji; Former MLA, Adv. Anil Benake; Entrepreneur Vinay Balikai; social activist Dhananjay Jadhav; and President of the Sri Datta Padmanabh Peeth Saint Society, Ramchandra Naik, among other dignitaries.

This festival turned out to be a momentous occasion for disciples, devotees, righteousness-loving citizens, and community members from Belagavi, Khanapur, Nipani, Chikkodi, as well as Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The anchoring of the event was conducted by Deepak Gawas.

The work of Sri Datta Padmanabh Peeth is not merely confined to spiritual tradition; it is a movement dedicated to God, Nation, and Dharma. The Peeth has consistently worked toward propagating true knowledge, nurturing devotion, and providing society with a direction rooted in moral values. Under Pujya Swamiji’s divine guidance, Tapobhoomi in Goa has become a beautiful confluence of spirituality, culture, and education. Alongside spiritual practices, the initiatives undertaken by the Peeth for the educational and cultural upliftment of society are truly inspiring. Especially through initiatives like Vedic education, Sanskrit, the promotion of the Gurukul system, female priests, Vedic scholars, and Vedic maidens, the work of securing a position of honor for women in the Vedic tradition is immensely significant, stated Union Minister of State Shripad Naik.

If you look at Tapobhoomi, everything is barren, and the effort to grow trees on this barren land is also the work of Tapobhoomi. This Tapobhoomi is the land of those who do penance. Just as trees also stand tall in the face of storms, rain, and wind, if you want to maintain your existence in life, trees teach you to move forward without being afraid of all the subtle crises and sorrows. Take the message of living life from nature and accordingly, we should maintain this balance of nature.

We mediate between government policies and locals to reach maximum efficiency. We organise tree plantation drives and make people aware of the current scenario. Water conservative events, Beach cleaning, E-waste management etc are few of the firm steps towards healing mother nature

Our motive of environmental awareness drives is for public awareness of the environment which  provides the ability to understand the surrounding world including understanding all the changes occurring in the environment, understanding the cause and effect, relationships between mother nature and humans. Awareness helps to reduce environmental impact by making choices that will benefit the individual and the world at large.

Planting and Nurturing Trees

Satguru Foundation believes in the philosophy of staying connected with Nature to enjoy the ecstasy of life.  Grow green concept was brought in limelight and an initiative was taken to plant as many trees possible by every volunteer and spread greenery. The task was not only limited to planting the trees but a responsibility was taken to take care till they attain maturity. Trees play vital role in ecological balance. Right from providing Oxygen to purifying air, from aiding in water cycle to holding the soil to prevent soil erosion, from providing food to shelter, trees have served mankind in enormous ways. The lessons of being a GIVER and provider can be well learnt from trees and this is the reason the more we stay in connection with trees the more we shall grow spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Grow Green, a beautiful idea to allow the youth to reconnect with our cultural roots wherein trees are considered sacred, worshipped and protected. The importance and significance of different plants, be it medicinal, ornamental, commercial was learnt by understanding the avid biodiversity we are blessed with. Knowledge of our rich heritage is very important for us to rise as global leaders.

Environmental activities like tree plantation drive in industrial areas are conducted. Under the banner of Go Green event sessions are taken at school level to imbibe the thought of Nature conservation in students. Tree plantation drives are conducted by our volunteers in different sectors, motivating locals to be part of this nature conservation cause.

Education is the greatest factor that has the power to change the world. India was once known for its Gurukul system of education. Today in this modern era there is a need to implement such a gurukul education system as the upcoming generation is in need of the value added education. The effect of modernisation is impacting the upcoming generation. To counteract this, to divert them towards the socio cultural teachings we have Vedic Gurukulam. The concept of Vedic Gurukulam here is unlike the other educational institutes today. We offer profound knowledge in all four vedas by the best scholars.
