NEW DELHI: RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on March 6 will inaugurate a three-day ‘Chadar Mahotsav’ and Dadaguru Ektisa Paath in Jaisalmer. The Mahotsav is from March 6 to 8. The highlight of the event will be a global collective recitation of Dadaguru Ektisa Paath by 1.08 crore devotees on March 7 at a fixed time across India and abroad.
Around 20,000 devotees are expected to attend the event in Jaisalmer along with nearly 400 saints from various spiritual traditions.
The programme is being organised under the aegis of the Dadagurudev Shri Jindattsuri Chadar Mahotsav Committee in the presence of Gachchhadhipati Acharya Shri Jinmaniprabha Suri.
Committee chairman and Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said the initiative aims to promote faith, unity and spiritual awakening at a global level.
Organisers said that for the first time in 871 years, a formal ritual ablution of the sacred chadar will be performed. The chadar will be brought in a grand procession from Jaisalmer Fort to the venue. On March 8, Upadhyay Mahendra Sagar Maharaj will be conferred the title of Acharya.
Preparations, including the erection of large dome tents at Dedansar ground, have been underway for over a month.
A two-day national seminar on the contribution of the Dadaguru tradition to cultural unity and social harmony will also be organised.
