3 Jyoti Kalash chariots departed from Shantikunj in Haridwar on Sunday for a public-awareness campaign linked to the birth centenary of Gayatri Parivar founder Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma. The campaign will cover more than 50 districts across Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
The chariots were sent off after Shaildidi performed worship amid conch-blowing and the recitation of Vedic mantras. During their scheduled journey, campaign teams will contact residents in villages and cities and explain the purpose of the centenary celebrations.
The initiative will focus on Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma’s messages concerning women’s awakening, value-based families and social harmony. Evening seminars and Deep Yagyas will also be organised during the campaign.
Campaign route and programme
The departing chariots will conduct public-awareness activities in Haridwar, Aonla in Agra and the Mathura region, according to the programme details. After completing their scheduled travel, they are expected to reach New Delhi on 28-29 October.
The campaign is intended to take the centenary invitation and its central ideas directly to communities. Its organisers said the effort would have meaning when people apply those ideas in their daily lives, rather than treating the celebrations only as a formal event.
Shaildidi described the birth centenary as an opportunity to take Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma’s ideals to a wider public. She said the public-awareness drive would become meaningful only when people adopted those ideals in their lives.
New Delhi centenary event
Dr. Chinmay Pandya, the centenary celebrations’ team leader and pro-vice-chancellor of Dev Sanskriti University, called the campaign important. He said the main 3-day centenary programme would be held at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium from 31 October to 2 November.
The chariot campaign will therefore serve as an outreach effort before the New Delhi programme. Its activities are planned to connect the larger celebration with local public meetings, seminars and Deep Yagyas across the scheduled areas.
Conclusion
3 Jyoti Kalash chariots have begun travelling from Shantikunj to spread awareness of Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma’s birth centenary and invite communities across more than 50 districts to the celebrations. The main programme is scheduled in New Delhi from 31 October to 2 November.
