Speaking on the occasion, CM Dhami said that Satguru Lal Das Maharaj dedicated his life to spirituality, inspiring people to walk the path of service, truth, and devotion. “He spread the spirit of devotion among the masses. His voice carried divine power, and his vision radiated the compassion of Lord Buddha,” said the CM, adding that Satguru’s teachings were centered on the belief that service is the highest form of religion.
The Chief Minister also remarked that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Sanatan culture is being widely promoted across the world, and people globally are becoming familiar with India’s ancient traditions and philosophy.

He added that the proposed Rishikesh-Haridwar Corridor will be constructed, and once completed, Haridwar will reflect the grandeur seen in Kashi and Ayodhya.
