Swami Ramdev enters the 31st year of Sanyas, marks the occasion with Kanya Pujan and Navratri Yagna

On the divine occasion of Navratri, Swami Ramdev completed 30 years of Sanyas. “Today, I have completed 30 years as a sanyasi and entered the 31st year of my spiritual journey," the yoga guru told the media , expressing his gratitude.

The 31st Sanyas anniversary of Swami Ramdev was observed with a sacred Navratri yajna, Vedic rituals, and kanya pujan (worship of young girls).

“Today, I have completed 30 years as a Sannyasi and have now entered the 31st year of my renounced life. A Sannyasi has only one duty – through Yog Dharma, serve the nation, uphold Seva Dharma, and fulfill the responsibilities of Yuga Dharma. The aim is to provide both health and prosperity to the country. That’s why Patanjali Yogpeeth is continuously progressing on the path of cultural prosperity," Swami Ramdev said.

"“India is the land of Sanatan culture, the Rishi tradition, the Vedic lineage, and the spiritual legacies of Lord Ram and Krishna, and Goddess Bhawani. We must destroy the demons of darkness and ignorance within us and eliminate all negative thoughts. Let us instill within ourselves the character and values of Lord Ram," he added glorifying the divinity of Navratri.



Swami Ramdev has glorified Indian tradition: Acharya Balkrishna
Extending heartfelt congratulation to Swami Ramdev, Acharya Balkrishna said, by taking Sannyas, Swami Ramdev has glorified Indian culture, traditions, and values across the world and has given global recognition to India’s glorious spiritual legacy.

“Navratri holds a special place in Indian culture, traditions, and Sanatan Dharma. May Goddess Bhagwati bless everyone with well-being, prosperity, happiness, and good health. With this prayer, we conducted this 9-day yajna and offered oblations to the sacred fire. Through Kanya Pujan, we aim to overcome our faults, bad habits, misbehavior, and demonic tendencies. Navratri is an integral part of India's rich cultural heritage. It is our duty to uphold and present it with dignity and scientific understanding," he said as he participated in the Navratri yagna and kanyna pujan ceremony.

A grand procession (shobha yatra) was also organized on the occasion. Swami Ramdev ji, Acharya Balkrishna ji, and Swami Lal ji, a yoga acharya from Divya Yog Mandir Ram Mulukh Darbar, along with many other sannyasis, participated in the yatra. The procession reached the sacred banks of the Ganges, where individuals were initiated into Naishthik Brahmacharya (strict celibacy).
