RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------Chandeshwar Yogbharti, Team Leader of the Bhagwati Manav Kalyan Sangathan, while shedding light on the objectives of his organization, stated that they are conducting a campaign aimed at establishing a cultured and prosperous society by eradicating substance abuse, the dowry system, class discrimination, caste-based disparities, and similar social ills. He made these remarks while addressing the gathering present at a five-hour 'Maha-Aarti' (Grand Prayer Ceremony) dedicated to Mother Bhagwati. This event was organized by the Piro branch of the Bhagwati Manav Kalyan Sangathan—under the guidance of Yogeshwar Shri Shaktiputra Ji Maharaj, the founder of Panchjyoti Shaktiteerth Siddhashram—and was held at the residence of Kiran Upadhyay, Chairperson of the Piro Nagar Parishad, and Manoj Upadhyay, a candidate in the MLC elections. A large number of people, including Piro Nagar Parishad Chairperson Kiran Upadhyay and MLC candidate Manoj Upadhyay, were present at this divine Maha-Aarti ceremony. According to Chandeshwar Yogbharti, the organization conducts free recitations of the *Shri Durga Chalisa*—lasting for one, five, or twenty-four hours—with the specific aim of building a society that is completely free from substance abuse and non-vegetarianism. Chandeshwar Yogbharti further stated that the Most Revered Shri Shaktiputra Ji Maharaj has established three distinct streams—considered even more sacred than the confluence at Triveni—namely: Panchjyoti Shaktiteerth Siddhashram Dham, the Bharatiya Shakti Chetna Party, and the Bhagwati Manav Kalyan Sangathan. These entities are dedicated to transforming society into a collective of virtuous 'Shakti Sadhaks' (spiritual seekers of divine power)—free from the vices of substance abuse and non-vegetarianism—thereby preparing them to serve the cause of religious protection, national defense, and humanity. He added that the revered Guru—Shri Shaktiputra Ji Maharaj—has undertaken a solemn pledge to perform 108 'Mahashakti Yajnas' (Grand Fire Rituals), which are destined to fundamentally transform the trajectory and direction of society on a daily basis during the auspicious hours of *Brahma Muhurta*. He emphasized that we must worship the *Jagjanani* (Mother of the Universe), for it is solely through the worship of the Divine Mother that all aspirations and attainments become possible. During the event, attendees were administered a solemn pledge—through the organization's program—to renounce all forms of substance abuse and alcohol consumption. A significant number of devotees were present at this gathering, including the organization's Team Leader, Chandeshwar Yogbharti, and other members of the team.
