Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the saints and seers attending the 'mahayagya' being organised in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal as part of the four-day Shri Kalki Mahotsav on Thursday.
PM Modi said, "India is growth on a fast galloping path and still keeping itself grounded and rooted in its glorious cultural legacy and 'Vikas aur Virasat' remain the cornerstone of the country's vision even as it marches toward achieving the 'Viksit Bharat' goal by 2047.".
PM Modi in a letter to Acharya Pramod Krishnam of Shri Kalki Dham, Peethadhishwar, said that the present day Indian cultural and civilization legacy is in its prime form and also wished that the coming one of the most devout spiritual centers from this Kalki Dham will emerge in these times to come.
"Ayodhya saw return of Lord Ram after years of waiting, Kashi Vishwanath Dham has undergone transformation, Somnath and Kedarnath routes have been revamped while Mahakaal corridor is drawing hordes of pilgrims," PM Modi said in the letter while recalling his unveiling of the Kalki Dham in February this year.
Several renowned personalities from different walks of life are expected to participate in the 'mahayagya' beginning today.
Speaking on the intense enthusiasm among Kalki devotees, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, Peethadhishwar of Shri Kalki Dham said that a specific ritual of 'Shiladaan Mahayagya' will be held for the construction of Shri Kalki Dham and the devotees will worship the rock in their name or the name of their ancestors, following all rituals.
The four-day religious event will culminate on November 11.
In February this year, Prime Minister Modi had laid the foundation stone of Shri Kalki Dham. It is being constructed by Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust, in the helm of which is temple chief Acharya Pramod Krishnam.
