On Tuesday morning, the day of Guru Purunima, the premises of Patanjali Yog Peeth was found reverberating with Vedic mantras chanted by the students of Acharyakulum and Ayats (hymns) from the Quran sung by some Sufi saints. led by the head of Sufi Sant Al Milad Sharif, Moiddin Sabri, a delegation of 10 Muslims offered shawl to Baba Ramdev to mark Guru Purnima fest held at Patanjali Yog Peeth.
The religious leaders representing Islam hailed the glory to India, chorusing with others “Bharat Mata ki Jai”. A Muslim leader won loud applause from the people who had come from far- off countries on the occasion of Guru Purnima when he recited a verse on “Gau Mata” (sacred cow). These Muslim leaders also participated in the Yajna and Janeu (sacred thread ceremony) and offered shawls to Swami Ramdev and Acharya Bal Krishna.
Giving his ceremonial address, Ramdev said, “These Muslim brothers have been attached to the Bharat Swabhiman Movement since long. They have come today to show their love for the Swadeshi movement.” He further said the real Guru Dakshina on Guru Purnima was to attach oneself to the cause of the Swadeshi and to save the country from the loot to the tune of crores by the multi-national companies.
On the occasion, hundreds of Sewavratis (those who have given their lives to the mission) pledged to serve the Bharat Swabhiman Movement. Earlier, the students of Acharyakulum, Vedic Kanya Gurukulum and Patanjali Vedic Gurukulum presented some cultural events.
