Chief Minister Yadav said that Adiguru Shankaracharya spread the wonderful message of unity among the people. He played an important role in protecting the Sanatan Dharma tradition and spreading its principles globally.
He came to Omkareshwar from Kerala facing difficulties and struggles, to take Deeksha from his Guru. Through his conduct and work, he made his Guru Dakshina fruitful and showed a new direction to unite the country.
Adiguru Shankaracharya was a great bearer of Gyan Parampara. Adiguru established peeths across all four directions of the country and knitted whole country in the thread of unity.
Addressing the programme, Mahamandaleshwar Dattatreya Ashram Pujya Swami Shri Vivekananda Puri ji said that Omkareshwar-Mamaleshwar is an Advait Ekatma Dham. It is the center that gives an identity to Adiguru Shankaracharya and India. He said that Omkareshwar has been the Deekshabhoomi and meditation centre of Adiguru Shankaracharya, hence should be developed as the fifth Peetha.
