Met senior BAPS Sadhus, Ishwarcharan Swami and Brahmavihari Swami. Appreciated BAPS relief work in the time of COVID-19 and during the Ukraine crisis. Discussed the upcoming birth centenary celebrations of HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj Ji and recalled his rich contribution to society.
We took this for granted for a long time and then the pandemic made us realize nothing is permanent. It is so great to be back at an event in person.

Today, we celebrate the 100th birthday of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj. A visionary and Guru, who committed his life to public service & spread messages of unity, humility & peace. May we continue to be inspired by his life & credo of, “In the joy of others, lies our own.”
