During her ongoing visit to Uttar Pradesh, the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, met revered saint Premanand Maharaj at his Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan, on Friday.
In a post on X, Bhajan Marg wrote, "President of India, Draupadi Murmu, came to meet Pujya Maharaj ji. Bhajan Marg | Most revered Vrindavan Rasik Saint Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Maharaj Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Varaha Ghat, Vrindavan Dham."
She also inaugurated an oncology block at the Ramakrishna Mission Seva Ashrama.
Yesterday, the President paid a visit to Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya and also performed 'aarti'. She also conducted the Shri Ram Yantra Sthapana and Pujan.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said it was her supreme privilege to touch the sacred dust of Ayodhya, the city where Shri Ram was born. She described it as a truly blessed occasion to be present on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, marking the commencement of Samvatsar 2083 and the first day of Navratri.
The President said the dates marking the 'Bhoomi Pujan' of this supremely sacred Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the 'Pran Pratishtha' of the divine idol of 'Ram Lalla' here, the opening of the 'Ram Darbar' for devotees and the hoisting of the religious flag atop the temple's spire, were golden in our history and culture.
President Murmu said the country was moving forward towards the creation of an inclusive society and a developed nation, and expressed confidence that with the blessings of Shri Ram, these goals will be achieved by the year 2047, perhaps even sooner.
