Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah today addressed the Global Hindu
Vaishnav Prerna Mahotsav via video conference. In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of
Cooperation Shri Amit Shah said that when the country was passing through the second wave of COVID-
19, the oxygen plants installed by Pujyashri not only saved the lives of thousands and lakhs of people, but
they are still being used in many hospitals. He said that the Pushtimargiya sect inspires every follower to
lead a life filled with devotion and love, while also instilling in the minds of Pushtimargis the sacred
values of peace, balance, and existence—the confluence of these qualities.
Shri Amit Shah said that during the period from 21 to 29 December 2025, Vadodara city will emerge as
the Vaishnav capital of the world. He said that during this time, Vaishnavas from 25 countries across the
world will come together on one platform, with the same spirit and the same devotional sentiment, to
partake in the nectar of divine narrations, which will undoubtedly bring benefits to all areas of service in
the times to come.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that under the leadership of Pujyashri Vrajraj
Kumarji Maharaj, five major projects are being launched during this festival. He said that through these
five projects—namely, a tension-free world, food for the hungry, cow service in every home, Hindu schoolproject, and national service project—not only will devotion towards religion be strengthened among the
countrymen, but they will also prove extremely helpful in re-establishing the spirit of service embodied in
the principle “Nar hi Narayan hai".
Shri Amit Shah said that in his 15-year journey, Pujyashri has inspired and mobilized lakhs of dedicated
volunteers across more than 15 countries and over 46 cities. He said that at the young age of just 39 years,
Pujyashri has unfurled the flag of Pushtimarg in 25 countries and has performed the sacred act of
connecting more than five lakh souls to the Supreme through initiating them into Brahmasambandh—all
accomplished through his own divine hands. Shri Shah said that Pujyashri’s tireless endeavor to unite
religion with compassion, service, and society is undoubtedly an extraordinarily great and noble
achievement.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that by truly embodying the saying “Vaishnava
jana to tene kahiye jo peer parayi jaane re”, these five projects initiated by Pujyashri will prove to be
exemplary for Pushtimargis in India and the entire world in the times to come. He said that in Hindu
culture, katha means the purification of the mind, the awakening of discernment, a transformation in the
direction of life, and moving forward from a self-centered life towards a society-centered life. Shri Shah
said that Pujyashri Vrajraj Kumar ji Maharaj has revived this tradition in many places across the world.
Through more than 250 kathas in eight countries, he has connected lakhs of followers and, by initiating
more than five lakh people into Brahmasambandh, has become the medium for connecting them to the
Brahma.
