Sants and the Saffron have their own specialty. Sants work to provide energy to society and thousands of lives by inspiring them to follow the right path. Just as the Sun and the Diya provide energy and free us from darkness, similarly sants provide new light in the form of knowledge to our lives.

He said that employment opportunities available locally will keep people connected to their villages and cities. Efforts to employ local people through the digital revolution will write a new chapter in the history of the Narmada River. People doing parikrama with this app will also become familiar with the local culture. Parikrama will not just be a spiritual practice but will also be a journey of Indian culture and the journey starting from Madhya Pradesh will write more such chapters across India.
