Adani Foundation’s Bhagwat Katha Draws Massive Crowd in Kutch; Dr. Pritiben Adani Stresses Human Development
Siracha, 15 December 2025: The second day of the seven-day Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, organized by the Adani Group with the sacred objective of “Sarvajanhitaya Sarvajansukhay” (for the welfare and happiness of all), witnessed an overwhelming response. The massive turnout caused the Kathamandap (dome/pandal) to fall short of space.
Adani Foundation Chairperson Dr. Pritiben Adani began her address with the joyful words: “Ki Aayo Mane, Maja Me.. Manike Muja Ram Ram.” She expressed immense happiness seeing the large gathering come to partake in the Bhagwat ras-pan (spiritual discourse).
Dr. Pritiben Adani emphasized that true development goes beyond factories or ports—it lies in human development. She stated, “For the last 25 years, the people of Kutch have stood by us through every challenge. Today, the work the Adani Group is doing for India has earned the nation pride across the world, and you all have contributed the most to it.”
Shilapiji Sadhviji Maharajsaheb of Virayatan Vidyapeeth (Mandvi) praised certain householders who surpass even saints in their service, spreading the fragrance of good deeds wherever they go. Aishree Deval lauded the Adani Foundation’s services for the disabled, particularly highlighting initiatives at the wedding of Jitbhai Adani, and extended his blessings.
The Adani family specially honored all the attending sadhus, saints, and dignitaries. Representatives from various villages and organizations in Mundra taluka felicitated Dr. Pritiben Adani, expressing gratitude for the Adani Foundation’s social responsibility initiatives.
The discourse was delivered by Pujya Shri Kashyapbhai Joshi, who narrated episodes from the Shrimad Bhagwat. He emphasized the importance of caring for and respecting parents before undertaking pilgrimages, describing modern old-age homes as a stain on society. He advised keeping the company of virtuous people to learn dharma and progress toward salvation.
