Divya Delhi: The holy rhythm of the Ganga, the golden sunset, the shimmering light of thousands of lamps, and the ancient chants of the Vedas and other scriptures again made Har Ki Pauri a witness to India's unparalleled cultural grandeur. Patanjali University held the 62nd All India Shastrotsav, conducted by the Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi, and attended by lakhs of scholars and devotees. It showcased India's rich knowledge heritage. At this historic spiritual gathering, intellectuals and devotees from around the nation chanted the scriptures and participated in the Ganga Aarti, setting a global record. This event felt like a link to old Indian sages and seers' meditations. As twilight fell, the crimson sky, the sun's beautiful reflection on the Ganga's tranquil waters, and throngs of pilgrims at the ghats signaled a magnificent event. A rhythmic vibration appeared in the river water when the first Aarti bell rung. The Vedas and scriptures were chanted at Har Ki Pauri, making the universe seem to sway. The Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda chants, Upanishad verses, Bhagavad Gita messages, and Yoga Sutras profound phrases created a heavenly symphony of spirituality, philosophy, and devotion. After the scriptures, Ganga Aarti created a lovely mood. Scholars, saints, and Acharyas carried enormous lamp garlands, bells rang, and “Har Har Gange” was sang. Seeing numerous torch reflections in the Ganga moved the soul. It seemed like Ganga was welcoming her disciples' devotion.
