Morbi, Nov 4 (NationPress) Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel graced the magnificent celebration of the 118th birth anniversary of Dada Bhagwan in Gujarat's Morbi. On the festival's second day, the Chief Minister participated alongside devotees in offering prayers and performing 'aarti' to Simandhar Swami and Dada Bhagwan, seeking blessings for the welfare of all.

Throughout the event, CM Patel engaged in satsang and prayer sessions, attentively absorbing the spiritual discourse (Atma Gnan Pravachan) delivered by Atmagnani Deepak. He also paid floral tributes and performed rituals before receiving blessings from Deepak, who gifted him the book “Gnani Purush – Part 6”, which highlights the life and teachings of Dada Bhagwan.

The celebration commenced on November 3 and will run until November 9, featuring numerous devotional programs, spiritual discourses, and community prayers. During the gathering, Deepak shared profound insights on self-realization, the essence of karma and consciousness, liberation from worldly suffering, and the importance of awareness in today's technology-driven world.

The event attracted an impressive crowd of devotees and dignitaries, including Minister of State for Labour, Employment and Skill Development Kanti Amrutia, Rajya Sabha MP Kesridevsinh Zala, MLAs Durlabh Dethariya and Meghji Chavda, former ministers Brijesh Merja and Mohan Kundariya, along with community leaders such as Jayantibhai Rajkotia.

While offering prayers, the Chief Minister expressed his wishes for peace, harmony, and true happiness for all beings, highlighting Dada Bhagwan’s message of self-knowledge, inner purity, and universal compassion.

Dada Bhagwan, born Ambalal Muljibhai Patel in 1908 in Gujarat, was a distinguished spiritual leader and the founder of the Akram Vignan Movement -- a unique path to instant self-realization devoid of traditional rituals or renunciation.

Renowned for his simplicity and compassion, Dada Bhagwan stressed the significance of realizing the “Pure Self” (Shuddhatma) as the cornerstone of liberation and inner peace. His profound teachings on ego, karma, and awareness have inspired millions to live lives anchored in humility, truth, and non-violence. His vision of “Jagd Kalyan” -- the spiritual upliftment of all -- continues to guide seekers globally through the Dada Bhagwan Foundation and his disciple, Atmagnani Deepak Desai.
