A Spiritual Gathering Focused on Dharma and National Awakening
Mumbai witnessed a spiritually charged congregation during the ongoing Ram Katha in Dahisar, where Swami Dr. Umakantanand Saraswati delivered a powerful discourse centered on the divine purpose behind Shri Ram Avatars. Addressing a large gathering of devotees, the revered spiritual leader stated that whenever adharma (unrighteousness) rises beyond limits, the divine manifests to restore moral and cosmic balance.
The multi-day Ram Katha, organized in Dahisar East, drew thousands of devotees, social leaders, and public representatives. The event resonated with devotional fervor as attendees immersed themselves in musical recitations of Ramcharitmanas and spiritual reflections on righteousness, karma, and societal responsibility.
“Shri Ram Avatars for the Destruction of Adharma”
In his discourse, Swami Dr. Umakantanand Saraswati emphasized that the incarnation of Lord Ram was not merely a historical episode but an eternal principle of dharma restoration.
He explained that:
Dharma protects those who protect it.
The consequences of karma extend beyond one lifetime.
Spiritual awakening begins with self-correction in the present moment.
According to the Swamiji, “If one wishes to improve the next birth, one must reform the present life.” He further elaborated that Lord Ram represents maryada (ethical restraint), governance rooted in justice, and unwavering adherence to duty.
The spiritual message underscored that societal transformation begins with individual discipline and moral clarity.
Musical Chaupais Leave Devotees Spellbound
One of the most captivating segments of the Katha was the musical rendering of Ramcharitmanas chaupais. The devotional atmosphere intensified as thousands of devotees sang in unison, creating an ambience charged with bhakti (devotion).
The congregation, comprising women, youth, and elderly devotees, remained engrossed as Swamiji narrated episodes highlighting sacrifice, righteousness, and ideal governance under Ram Rajya. The spiritual discourse linked ancient principles with contemporary societal challenges, encouraging ethical leadership and collective responsibility.
Praise for Vaidehi Taman: Reviving Savarkar’s Vision
During the event, Swami Dr. Umakantanand Saraswati publicly lauded Vaidehi Taman for her cultural and ideological efforts aimed at reviving the vision of Veer Savarkar.
He acknowledged that Savarkar’s nationalist and reformist vision emphasized cultural pride, social unity, and fearless articulation of civilizational identity. Swamiji appreciated initiatives that seek to reintroduce Savarkar’s ideological contributions to younger generations through cultural and intellectual platforms.
Vaidehi Taman, known for her engagement in socio-cultural initiatives, was commended for contributing to what the Swami Ji described as a “revival of civilizational consciousness.”
Presence of Mumbai’s Newly Elected Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi
Adding civic significance to the event, Mumbai’s newly elected Deputy Mayor, Sanjay Ghadi, attended the Ram Katha along with his family members and party karyakartas (workers).
Deputy Mayor Ghadi participated in the spiritual proceedings and sought blessings from Gurudev Dr. Swami Umakantanand Saraswati ji. His presence underscored the intersection of spiritual guidance and public life.
Sources at the event noted that Ghadi expressed gratitude for the opportunity to attend the discourse and emphasized the importance of moral grounding in governance. By attending with his family and supporters, the Deputy Mayor symbolically reinforced the cultural integration of public service with spiritual tradition.
