MP CM visits Bharuch to pay homage to Narmada

Bharuch/Surat: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, along with his wife Sadhna, was on a personal two-day visit to Bharuch. District officials informed that the couple visited various holy places along the banks of Narmada on Wednesday and Thursday and also paid homage to the river by performing aarti.
On the first day of his visit, Chouhan visited the Naramda Sanskrit Pathshala and Nilkantheshwar Temple at Jhadeshwar.The students of Pathshala conducted a ‘puja’ and ‘havan’ which was attended by the MP CM and his wife. Later, the two did meditation on banks of the Narmada.
On Thursday, Chouhan visited the holy Narmada Sangam, the ending point of the river where it meets the meeting of Gulf of Cambay near Lakhabava at Dahej. Chouhan also visited a satsang Program at Manan Ashram on the bank of Narmada and took the blessings of Swami Tadrupanandji, who has authored more than 30 spiritual books.
“I am fortunate to be here to experience the power of holy Narmada ‘Maiya’. We were keen to perform puja at Narmada Sangam, where river and sea meet at the Gulf of Cambay. India has a rich spiritual heritage. Our culture respects everyone, including those who have criticized us,” Chouhan said after his visit to the holy places.
“I have strong bonding and affection for Narmada ‘Maiya’ as was I born in a village on the bank of this river. The Rishi Ashrams and many other religious places on the bank of the river are the places of inspiration,” Chouhan added.
