Addressing the yoga seekers, Acharya Balkrishna said that today’s world is filled with unrest, but none of us wants unrest. Yet, for some reason, unrest persists in the world. He said that peace can never be born from unrest, and therefore, festivals like these are extremely important, which strive to establish peace amidst unrest. He said that on this auspicious occasion, you all have gathered together; here are Iran, Israel, Ukraine, and Russia. People from different countries, cultures, and ideologies have come together on one platform. This is the true power of yoga, which connects hearts and has the ability to weave all emotions into one thread. He said that if we want to understand the truth of life, we must become yogis. Coming here is the grace and arrangement of Mother Ganga. It is in our own hands to purify and sanctify this life. All of you are travelers on the right path, so continue to follow the path of yoga without getting distracted or panicking. He said that this is a divine and grand occasion, do not miss it. Swami Chidanand Saraswati congratulated Acharya Balkrishna on this auspicious occasion by presenting him a divine Rudraksha plant.
