Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 19: The Dinesh Shahra Foundation (DSF), under the guidance of its founder—eminent industrialist, philanthropist, and spiritual seeker Dr. Dinesh Shahra—offered a heartfelt tribute to the revered Swami Sivananda Maharaj at his Ashram in Varanasi. The tribute was part of a commemorative gathering organized by Swamiji’s disciples to honor his extraordinary 128-year-long life dedicated to yoga, selfless service, and the propagation of Sanatan Dharma.
Thousands from across India, including disciples of Swamiji and other saints, gathered to pay tribute to Swami Sivananda Maharaj. Various forms of seva were offered—meals for saints and children, alms for the needy, and devotional kirtans—all reflecting the spirit of service and devotion that defined Swamiji’s extraordinary life.
During the visit, Dr. Shahra participated in the sacred ritual of Annadanam (offering of food) and joined devotional bhajans and kirtans in Swamiji’s memory. These offerings reflected DSF’s deep reverence for saints who have embodied India’s spiritual ethos.
Dr. Shahra had the privilege of meeting Swami Sivananda Maharaj during his lifetime and recalled the profound impact of that encounter:
“Swamiji’s presence was magnetic. His life was a beacon of humility, discipline, and divine service. He truly embodied the timeless values of Sanatan Dharma—love, compassion, and selfless giving,” he remarked.
The Dinesh Shahra Foundation draws continuous inspiration from enlightened masters such as Swami Sivananda Maharaj. Aligned with its guiding philosophy of ‘Live to Give’, the Foundation is actively engaged in initiatives across spirituality, sustainable development, and value-based education—striving to preserve and promote India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
