Priyanka Gandhi remembered Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati. She said- Swamiji dedicated his entire life for religion, spirituality and charity. After getting his blessings after bathing in the Ganges in Prayagraj in the year 2021, I got a chance to discuss with him on the country, religion and generosity, goodwill. Swamiji had done our Griha Pravesh Puja in 1990 during my father’s stay. This is an irreparable loss to the entire society. Praying to God to give courage to the followers of Swamiji to bear the hardships in this difficult time.
She wrote – The whole society is mourning on the death of Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati ji. He made a huge contribution in the spiritual progress of the country. Humble tribute and salute to Shankaracharya ji.
