“Visiting sacred places is an inner journey—one that connects us to ourselves and helps us realize our true nature.” – HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji

Situated on the sacred banks of Maa Ganga, Parmarth Niketan Ashram is a divine abode where spirituality, culture, and inner energy come together in a profound way. Every day, seekers and distinguished personalities from across the world gather here to absorb the peace and divinity of the holy river.

In this spirit, renowned actor Aniruddh Dave visited Parmarth Niketan and participated in the world-famous Ganga Aarti in the divine presence of Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, leaving him deeply moved and spiritually enriched.

Known for his powerful performances in popular television shows such as Raajkumar Aaryyan, Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, Mera Naam Karegi Roshan, and Phulwa, Aniruddh Dave appeared here not merely as an artist, but as a seeker—one returning to his roots in search of deeper truths of life.

Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji shared that Indian culture is not confined to scriptures alone but is alive in every moment of life. Pilgrimage is an inward journey—one that connects us to our true self and awakens the awareness of our real essence.

He further emphasized that today’s society, especially the youth, is gradually returning to its spiritual roots even amidst modernity. External achievements are temporary, but inner peace is eternal.

“When the outer world becomes filled with noise, returning to inner silence is the true way of living.”

The divine ambiance of the evening Ganga Aarti—the glow of lamps, the resonance of sacred chants, and the gentle flow of the Ganga—filled Aniruddh Dave’s heart with deep peace and devotion. He expressed that this experience cannot truly be described in words; it is something to be felt within.

At the conclusion, Pujya Swamiji blessed him with a sacred Rudraksha plant as a symbol of divine grace.
