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.

The event was compered by Ve. Mu. Anup Ji Shelar and Neelima Mandrekar.

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.

Under the divine guidance of Padma Shri Gurudev Padmanabh Peethadhishwar Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, a four-day grand “Regional Vedic Conference 2026” has been organized from December 10 to December 13, 2026, at Shree Kshetra Tapobhoomi, Kundai, Ponda, Goa. The event is jointly hosted by Maharshi Sandipani Rashtriya Ved Vidya Pratishthan, Ujjain (Ministry of Education, Government of India), and Swami Brahmanand Vedic Gurukul & Research Institute, Goa.

This Vedic conference holds special significance as it coincides with the Silver Jubilee Year of Pujya Sadguru’s Accession to the Peetha (Peetharohan). The main objective of this conference is to preserve, promote, nurture, and propagate Vedic knowledge, Indian culture, Sanatan Dharma, Vedic studies, and Vedic traditions. For this event, Pujya Swamiji announced the following organizing committee:

Vedic Conference Organizing Committee:

• President: Ved. Murthy. Amar Ji
• Vice President: Ved. Murthy. Dnyaneshwar Ji
• Secretary: Ved. Murthy. Trimbak Ji
• Joint Secretary: Ved. Murthy. Anup Ji
• Treasurer: Ved. Murthy. Saish Ji
• Joint Treasurer: Ved. Murthy. Vishnu Ji
• Member: Ve. Mu. Vrajesh Ji

More than 200 Vedic scholars, Acharyas, and learned personalities from various states across the country will participate in this holy event. The four-day conference will feature Vedic chanting, scriptural discussions, scholarly dialogues, the exchange of Vedic traditions, and various religious and cultural programs.

On behalf of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, this divine initiative has been organized through the threefold mission of Dev, Desh, and Dharma (God, Nation, and Religion) to pass on the invaluable tradition of Vedic knowledge to future generations. Devout Sanatanis have expressed great joy over this grand event.

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.

Kundaim: The Shravani festival is a symbol of knowledge, as knowledge is considered supreme in Sanatana Dharma. Shravani is a ritual in Sanatana Dharma that inspires the guru-disciple tradition and emphasizes the importance of knowledge. At a time when there was no formal education system in the world, India had a tradition of guru-disciple knowledge transfer. To preserve the tradition of the Rishis, it is necessary to understand the Shravani ritual. When people outside Goa ask whether there are Hindus in Goa, we tell them to visit the Goa Spiritual Festival and Shravani to witness how religious the people of Goa are and how well they have preserved their temples. Whether it is the field of religion, politics, or any other, success can be achieved only when everyone works while upholding justice and morality. These remarks were made by Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji, Peethadhishwar of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Adhyatma Shiromani, and Padma Shri awardee.

The Silver Jubilee year special Shravani festival of Gurupeetharohan under the divine guidance of Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji was celebrated with great enthusiasm on August 30 at the Shree Kshetra Tapobhumi Gurupeeth. Pujya Swamiji was addressing the gathering.

Further, Pujya Swamiji said that the agricultural and Rishi traditions have been continuing since Sanatana Dharma’s inception. Particularly in Goa, great personalities of the guru-disciple tradition—Sadguru Sushenacharya, Sadguru Sadanandacharya, and Sadguru Brahmanandacharya Swamiji—have bestowed this Shravani tradition. Parents need to impart cultural values to their children. Whether they belong to different castes, whoever is a follower of Sanatana, a Hindu, protector of cows, respectful towards women, and brings pride to the nation, is dear to the Lord. The Shravani ritual is a clarion call for the protection of Sanatana Dharma. Thus Pujya Swamiji delivered his spiritual discourse.

The event was graced by the presence of Union Minister of State Shripad Naik, Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phaldesai, Public Transport Minister Digambar Kamat, MLAs Vijai Sardesai and Krishna Salkar, along with various other dignitaries from different fields.

Various religious rituals were performed during the program, including the wearing of Yajnopavita (sacred thread), Utsarjana, Upakarma, Sadguru Pujan, Rishi Pujan, Tarpana, Havan, Mrittika Snan (mud bath), Mindvate Hom, Yama Prarthana, Gopujan, Sabha Deepadan, Rakshabandhan, and Sadguru Pujan.

Under the divine guidance of Pujya Swamiji, thousands of devotees in Goa wore the Yajnopavita, displaying a grand sight of Hindu unity and cultural splendor. The program concluded with Aarti and Mahaprasad.

Resolve to Take Goa’s True Identity to the World: Minister Rohan Khaunte

Whenever “Goa” was mentioned, the imagery of sun, sand, and sea always came to mind. However, Goa’s identity is not limited to its beaches alone. A resolve is now being taken to bring Goa’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage to the global stage. Efforts are underway to promote spiritual tourism and present Goa’s temple tradition and Sanatana heritage to the world through tourism. Under the guidance of Sadguru Brahmeshanand Swami, the work of advancing 11 pilgrimage centers under the “Ekadash Tirtha” initiative has begun. Bringing things rooted in our core to the world is the need of the hour. Along with the vision of a developed India, the roots of our culture, tradition, and spirituality must also reach the global audience. Through the Ministry of Tourism, this effort to present Goa’s true identity to domestic and international tourists will undoubtedly succeed. — Shri Rohan Khaunte, Tourism Minister, Goa

Goa Should Be Recognized Globally as a Land of Deities and Spirituality: Minister Subhash Phaldesai

Goa’s identity is emerging globally in a new form. Through spiritual festivals organized in Goa, the work of projecting Goa as a spiritual land to the world is taking place. Due to the relentless efforts of Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, Goa has emerged as a spiritual land today. This identity of Goa as a land of yoga, spirituality, and our rich tradition is becoming more comprehensive through the thoughts and works of Sadguru. In the coming days, we will definitely strive to ensure that Goa is recognized worldwide not just for tourism, but as a pilgrimage center, land of deities, and a spiritual land. — Subhash Phaldesai, Social Welfare Minister, Goa

• 80th Independence Day of India celebrations in London-UK.

LONDON, UK : A special celebration marking India’s Independence Day took place in London, bringing together prominent spiritual, cultural, and political figures.

The highlight of the program was the felicitous interaction between Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, head of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth (Tapobhoomi Goa), and Padma Shri Bob Blackman CBE MP, Chairman of the 1922 Committee and MP for Harrow East.

During the gathering, Pujya Sadguruji presented MP Bob Blackman with a traditional Indian tricolor scarf, acknowledging his years of continuous support for the British Indian diaspora and his efforts in strengthening bilateral relations between the UK and India.

Addressing the gathering, leaders emphasized the significance of universal peace, spiritual values, and the vibrant role of the Indian community in the United Kingdom.

On the holy occasion of Guru Purnima, the first harvesting of Napier grass cultivated for the goshala (cow shelter) at Shrikhetra Tapobhoomi was inaugurated by Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant. Cultivated under the Napier Grass Scheme of the Government of Goa, the plantation on the Tapobhoomi premises flourished in just a month and a half. Now, nutritious green fodder for the Gomata (revered cows) at the shelter will be available right on the Tapobhoomi campus.

Speaking on the occasion, Padma Shri Awardee Dharmabhushan Pujya Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji highlighted the interconnectedness of cattle conservation, agriculture, and Indian culture. He said:

“Earlier, feed for the cows at Tapobhoomi Goshala had to be sourced from outside. However, thanks to the Goa Government’s scheme, nutritious green fodder is now produced right at Tapobhoomi. It is a matter of great joy that the harvesting of this Napier grass is being launched by Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant on the auspicious day of Guru Purnima.”

“Goa is the land of Gomata. Taking care of and conserving cows is our highest duty. The Goa Government has implemented various schemes for cattle conservation, and all Goans should take advantage of them,” Pujya Swamiji added.

Explaining the importance of the tradition of sages (Rishi) and agriculture (Krishi) in Indian culture, Pujya Swamiji remarked, “India is a country of sages and farmers. Sages provided the vision for conserving this land, and when that vision receives positive cooperation from the government, India’s overall progress will surely gain new momentum.”

Appreciating the initiative of Shri Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant stated, “With the blessings of Pujya Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji, Shri Datta Padmanabh Peeth resolved to cultivate Napier grass, starting right from the Tapobhoomi Goshala. Under the leadership of Gurumata Brahmidevi, the crop bloomed in just a month and a half, and I consider myself fortunate to inaugurate its first harvest.”

The Chief Minister congratulated the 500 farmers associated with Shri Datta Padmanabh Peeth who have resolved to cultivate Napier grass. “Shri Datta Padmanabh Peeth has set an example for producing the green fodder required for cows. Drawing inspiration from this, cow lovers and farmers across Goa should cultivate Napier grass on a large scale. The Goa Government will extend all necessary support for such initiatives,” Chief Minister Dr. Sawant affirmed.

This initiative at Tapobhoomi not only ensures the local availability of green fodder for the shelter but also sets a model of self-reliant cattle conservation for farmers and cattle rearers across the state. The event on the holy occasion of Guru Purnima offered a unique confluence of spirituality, agriculture, and cow conservation.

Kundaim: “God is supreme in this universe. There are limits to human research, but the Divine is boundless, whether we choose to believe it or not. If we place immense faith in God, this supreme power has the strength to pull a person even from the jaws of death. Therefore, keep absolute faith in this energy. We must donate blood with this complete faith, realizing that the Almighty has blessed us with the strength to do so. We should donate with the humble thought that this small act of service will save someone’s life. We must continue doing our duty. ‘Paropkaraya Punyaya, Papaya Parapeedanam’ (Helping others is virtue; hurting others is sin). Our body is meant for philanthropy and the service of others. Just as we live for our families, we must realize that our nation is our family and live for it. In fact, we should live not just for the nation, but for the entire universe. Transcending all differences of high and low, we should donate blood by considering everyone as a part of our own family,” addressed Padma Shri awardee Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji.

Pujya Swamiji was speaking at a grand blood donation camp jointly organized by the Satguru Foundation, Sadguru Youth Federation, and Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth at Shree Kshetra Tapobhoomi Gurupeeth. The mega drive was organized to mark the auspicious occasion of the Silver Jubilee Year of Pujya Swamiji’s ascension to the Gurupeeth (Gurupeetharohan Rajat Mahotsav).

Prominent dignitaries present on the occasion included Dr. Shekhar Salkar (Manipal Hospital), Shri Sachin Desai (Director, Department of Environment and Climate Change), Shri Harish Adkonkar (MD, Goa Waste Management Corporation), Shri Digvijay Desai (General Manager, Goa Waste Management Corporation), Dr. Prachit Naik (Senior Doctor, Blood Bank), Dr. Shubham Daikar (Tutor, Blood Bank), Dr. Neville Dias (Medical Officer), Ms. Binisha Pednekar (Titan Eye Plus), and Dental Surgeons Dr. Sanjana Shirgaonkar and Dr. Anisha Kalekar, along with other respected guests and office bearers.

Kundaim: Yog is the science gifted by the revered Indian Rishis and Munis. The entire universe is connected with Yoga. The aspiration of our sages has always been that everyone should attain a healthy and disease-free life. The Gurupeeths and universities of India have continuously worked to spread the knowledge of Yog among people. Following this ancient tradition, the visionary and ascetic Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, presented the Indian science of Yog on the platform of the United Nations, where more than 177 countries supported and accepted this ancient wisdom. Today, the 12th International Yog Day is being celebrated across the world, which is a matter of pride for Bharat and the timeless knowledge of our Rishis and Munis, said Adhyatma Shiromani, Padma Shri awardee Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji.

The grand celebration of the 12th International Yog Day was organized at Shree Kshetra Tapobhoomi Gurupeeth, Kundaim, in the divine presence of Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, on the occasion of the Gurupeetharohan Silver Jubilee Year celebrations.

Further speaking, Pujya Swamiji said that Hon’ble Chief Minister of Goa Dr. Pramod Sawant is making significant efforts to establish this ancient Indian science of Yoga in Goa. Spirituality is not limited to any one religion; it exists in all traditions. The Goa Chief Minister is working towards promoting the spiritual heritage of Goa. The Goa Government has issued directives to celebrate Yog Day in all government offices, schools, colleges, and across all sections of society, due to which Yog Day was celebrated at numerous locations today.

Pujya Swamiji further suggested that Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant should initiate a discussion on Yoga in the Goa Legislative Assembly and declare Goa as a “Yog State” so that Goa, the land of Yogis, the land of Lord Parashuram, Tapobhoomi, and the sacred land of Gau Mata, gains recognition as the Yoga Land of India. He expressed that in the coming decades and centuries, Goa should regain its glorious heritage, where Yoga practices begin across beaches, temples, monasteries, offices, schools, and colleges. To enhance the identity and character of Goa, it should be declared as a “Yog State,” he said.

Through Tapobhoomi, Yog Day was celebrated at various locations across Goa, including Goa Lok Bhavan, Police Stations, Ponda Municipal Council, Konkan Railway – Madgaon, various temples, railway stations, airports, auditoriums, schools, colleges, police stations, government offices, and many other places.

Various organizations actively participated in this grand initiative, including Satguru Foundation, Sadguru Youth Federation, Jagat Janani, Swami Sadanand Ayurveda Dham, International Sadguru Foundation, Swami Brahmanand Mahavidyalaya, International Sadguru Gurukulam, Sadguru Dnyanpeeth, and others.
