In Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi said, "Whenever India faced a difficult phase, a 'Rishi Muni' has descended on earth and given a new direction to India. We get a glimpse of this in Swami Advaitanand Ji Maharaj's life... During the period of slavery, our society had started forgetting his knowledge. But in the same period, many 'Rishi Muni' connected the nation's soul with the ideas of Swami Advaitanand Ji Maharaj."

PM further hailed the sanctity of Anandpur Dham and expressed his delight to be there. "This is a land where every particle has been sanctified by the penance of saints, where charity is a way of life, and where the spirit of service guides the path to the welfare of humanity. Such a land is no ordinary place. That is why our saints once said of Ashoknagar: even sorrow hesitates to enter here. I am delighted to have the opportunity to participate here..," PM said.
