Members of the Guru Sangamam – a confederation of the great spiritual leaders of India’ indigenous religions and spiritual traditions – gathered in New Delhi. This Guru Sangamam has been brought together by the heads of India’s vast spiritual lineages to present on a common platform all of these traditions, and to stand for unity and harmony between all. Approximately 100 of India’s leaders from all its indigenous tradtions – which included Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism – came together for this gathering.
While at the Guru Sangamam, Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, who serves as the General Secretary of the Guru Sangaman, spoke to the Gurus about the urgent need to restore, protect and maintain the river Ganga and her tributaries to their free-flowing and pristine state, as Ganga is both a lifeline to the millions who live along her banks as well as representative of the spiritual and cultural heritage of India.
