It is a matter of great pride for all of us that we are gathering at this holy place to pay tribute to the contribution of Param Pujya Sant Gahira Guru Ji and Mata Purnima Ji.

Her idol is a symbol of her unshakable dedication towards the welfare of the society. Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai said this today on the special occasion of Pran-Pratishtha of the idol of Purnima Ji, wife of Param Pujya Sant Gahira Guru, at Shrikot Ashram Balrampur.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that Sant Gahira Guru Ji presented the best example of service to the society even while living a family life. He considered service to the poor and the destitute as his ultimate religion and established the principles of truth, peace, mercy and forgiveness as the invaluable pillars of religion. Chief Minister Shri Sai appreciated the incomparable contribution made by Sant Gahira Guru Ji in the upliftment of tribal communities. The Chief Minister greeted the people of the area on this auspicious occasion and called upon them to work wholeheartedly to give a new direction to the society by inculcating the teachings of Mata Purnima Ji and Sant Gahira Guru Ji in their lives.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that on coming here I had the good fortune of seeing the idol of the mother, seeing her live and beautiful idol it felt as if she spoke at any moment. Remembering Gahira Guru Ji, Shri Sai said that Gahira Guru Ji was a great saint of the tribal society, through whose teachings and sayings the whole society came to know the importance of true Sanatan Dharma. He said that the teachings of Gahira Guru Maharaj brought economic, social and educational improvement in the lives of the tribal community, which was lagging behind in development, especially in rural areas. Shri Sai said that it was my good fortune that I kept getting the blessings of the Gahira Guru community. While being the MP of Raigarh, I had the good fortune of adopting Gahira Guru Maharaj’s birth village and developing it. Today the society is moving forward by assimilating his ideals. Sanskrit colleges are opening at various places and the tribal society is constantly moving forward. A large number of dignitaries of the tribal society were present in the function.
