Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar described his visit to Parmarth Niketan in Uttarakhand as “highly motivational and inspirational” for him and his wife.

Dhankhar said they experienced a sense of spirituality and a message of social service after entering the ashram, which was founded in 1940. He also sought the blessings of Swami Chidanand Ji.

He said people should remain ready to contribute to society, human resources and living beings. Dhankhar added that the visit reinforced the need to serve humanity despite difficult circumstances, challenging tasks or severe obstacles.
