Historic Sant Sansad brings global spiritual leaders together in London
LONDON witnessed an extraordinary coming together of Dharma Satta and Raj Satta as more than 25 revered saints and spiritual leaders joined parliamentarians, civic representatives and community leaders for a landmark series of events promoting world peace, harmony, Sanatan values and unity in diversity. The historic engagements, held across the UK from 7 to 15 August, culminated in three major London events Santon Ke Sang Sunderkand aboard a special cruise on the River Thames on August 11; the landmark Sant Sansad at Harrow Leisure Centre on August 14; and Indias 80th Independence Day celebrations at International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK on August 15. The initiative brought together Jagadgurus, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and spiritual leaders from Hindu, Jain and other traditions on a common platform alongside British political and civic leaders. The entire engagement involving more than 25 saints was conceptualised by Sanjay Giri, CEO and Managing Director of Network 10, and Sanatan Dharma Bhushan H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, Founder and Global Spiritual Leader of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. The programme was organised by Network 10 and International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. The first three engagements in the wider programme were proudly hosted and led by Sachkhand Nanak Dham under the divine guidance of Huzur Sant Shri Trilochan Darshan Das Ji Maharaj, its spiritual successor, reinforcing the central theme of Unity in Diversity with the Community. The celebrations also marked the Silver Jubilee of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK 25 years of Sanatan seva, community service and work to promote peace, harmony and spiritual values in Britain. Sant Sansad becomes historic centrepiece The spiritual journey reached its high point on August 14, when Byron Hall at Harrow Leisure Centre hosted the main Sant Sansad. For the first time, leading saints representing different traditions and institutions came together in this format in London with parliamentarians, civic representatives and community leaders, creating a distinctive blend of spiritual authority and public life. The central themes were world peace, harmony, Sanatan values, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and unity in diversity. The gathering explored how Indias ancient spiritual and civilisational principles could offer a constructive message to a world facing conflict, polarisation and division. The programme began with a grand traditional welcome and pujan of the saints by young girls and Siddhashram trustees. A ceremonial lamp was lit in the presence of Padma Shri Bob Blackman CBE MP, Conservative MP for Harrow East; Cllr Marilyn Ashton, Deputy Leader of Harrow Council; Deputy Mayor of Harrow Cllr Mina Parmar; H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji; and Sanjay Giri. Blackman, Ashton and Parmar addressed the gathering, while the saints offered their perspectives on spirituality, peace and humanity. The event demonstrated what organisers described as a meeting of Dharma Satta and Raj Satta spiritual leadership and democratic public leadership sharing a platform in pursuit of peace, social harmony and community cohesion. It also reflected the increasingly important role of the British Indian community as a bridge between the United Kingdom and India, strengthening cultural, spiritual and people-to-people relations between the two countries. Sanatan must connect humanity Addressing the gathering, Rajrajeshwar Guruji said the 25-year journey of Siddhashram had been built around seva, Sanatan values and connecting people. He said his commitment was to continue strengthening Sanatan Dharma, bringing communities together and taking its universal values to future generations. Guruji told the gathering that Sanatan Dharma should be understood as a force that connects rather than divides humanity, with peace, compassion, harmony and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam at its heart. The Sant Sansad, he said, should not end with one gathering in London but develop into a wider movement through which saints and spiritual institutions could work collectively for humanity. Mahesh Liloriya SPECIAL MOMENT Saints perform Pattabhishek of Rajrajeshwar Guruji Mahesh Liloriya One of the most emotional moments of the Sant Sansad came when the assembled Jagadgurus, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and revered saints performed a special Pattabhishek of H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji on stage. One by one, the saints blessed Guruji, presenting him with flowers, garlands and ceremonial patta/khes in recognition of his spiritual and community service. The saints congratulated Guruji and International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK on completing 25 years of service, particularly recognising his work to strengthen Sanatan Dharma outside India and promote peace, harmony and unity. The collective Pattabhishek by so many spiritual leaders became an unforgettable moment of Siddhashrams Silver Jubilee celebrations. Mahesh Liloriya NEW GLOBAL INITIATIVE World Peace Organisation launched at Sant Sansad A significant announcement at the Sant Sansad was the launch of a new World Peace Organisation, bringing spiritual leadership together on an international platform. The proposed body will work with revered saints and spiritual leaders and is envisaged as a platform to support, safeguard and protect institutions established by members of the Sanatan community, while advancing peace, harmony, spiritual values and unity internationally. H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji is expected to play a key role in the initiative, with revered saints associated with its wider mission. A specially created large-format Hanuman Chalisa printed on cloth was also unveiled in the presence of the saints. Mahesh Liloriya Public servants and community figures honoured The Sant Sansad also recognised outstanding public and community service. Cllr Marilyn Ashton was specially honoured by the World Book of Records in recognition of 25 years of public service, while Bob Blackman MP was honoured for his longstanding service and his strong parliamentary voice on matters concerning India, Hindus and the wider community. Sanjay Giri received the Bharat Kirtiman Award for his support for saints, Sanatan Dharma and Bharat. Members of the Home Office Immigration Enforcement team, including Emma Underwood, Manoj Kumar Lal and colleagues, were honoured by the saints for their public service. Community leaders and other public figures were also honoured. Community and faith leaders were also recognised during the programme, while a cultural performance by Chital Vyas and her team added to the evening. THE SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY Among the leading spiritual figures participating across the historic series were: Jagadguru Swami Chakrapani Nand Giri Ji Maharaj, National President, Sant Mahasabha and Hindu Mahasabha; Pujya Shri Pandokhar Sarkar Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar, Pandokhar Dham, Datia, Madhya Pradesh; Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Founder and Head, International Sadguru Foundation and Peethadhishwar and Supreme Authority of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa; and Shri Chinmayanand Bapu Ji, spiritual leader from Haridwar.

Together, their presence reflected the central philosophy behind the initiative: Different traditions. Different paths. One message for humanity. Mahesh Liloriya FROM THE THAMES TO THE TRICOLOUR Sunderkand on the Thames u200bMahesh Liloriya Against the iconic backdrop of London, revered saints came together aboard a special cruise on the River Thames on August 11 for an unusual spiritual gathering titled Santon Ke Sang Sunderkand. The two-hour programme saw the sacred Sunderkand Path recited while sailing through central London, accompanied by puja, prayers and blessings for world peace. The sight of some of Indias leading saints travelling along the Thames while prayers from the Ramcharitmanas were recited created one of the most striking images of the week-long celebrations. Conceived as a prayer for humanity rather than an event for one community alone, the gathering carried the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world is one family. It also symbolically brought Indias ancient spiritual traditions into the heart of one of the worlds most diverse global capitals. Saints join Indias 80th Independence Day celebrations u200bMahesh Liloriya The landmark programme concluded on August 15 with a special celebration of Indias 80th Independence Day at International Siddhashram Shakti Centre in Harrow. In another unusual sight, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and other revered saints stood alongside British political representatives and members of the diaspora as the Indian Tricolour was hoisted at the Siddhashram premises. The ceremony was attended by Bob Blackman MP and Cllr Janet Mote, Harrow Council Cabinet Member for Community & Culture and former Mayor of Harrow, who represented the Mayor of Harrow. Blackman, Mote and Rajrajeshwar Guruji addressed the gathering. The flag-hoisting was followed by the National Anthem, patriotic songs, cultural performances and presentations celebrating Indias freedom and heritage. Community leaders were symbolically honoured with Tricolour khes and caps, while the saints offered blessings for Indias peace, prosperity and progress. The finale brought together the themes that had defined the entire series spiritual heritage, service, patriotism, community cohesion and the growing relationship between Britain and India. SILVER JUBILEE Bhoomi Poojan marks next chapter for Siddhashram The week of historic events followed a special Bhoomi Poojan on August 10 for International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. More than 20 revered saints participated in the ceremony, blessing the Centre as it marked its 25th anniversary and prepared for the next chapter of its spiritual and community journey. The Bhoomi Poojan formed part of a wider programme celebrating a quarter-century of Siddhashram's work in Britain, from promoting Sanatan values and spirituality to community service, interfaith understanding and social harmony. From the Bhoomi Poojan, to Sunderkand on the Thames, the historic Sant Sansad, and finally the Tricolour flying over Siddhashram on Independence Day, the week became a celebration not only of 25 years of one institution but of the growing confidence and contribution of Sanatan and British Indian communities in the UK. At its heart was a message repeatedly echoed by the saints: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world is one family.

NCB secures return of naco-peddler Virender Singh Basoya from UAE: Amit Shah
New Delhi, Aug 14: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has secured the return of fugitive drug kingpin Virender Singh Basoya from the UAE. In a post on X, Shah said, Modi govt is relentlessly tracking down drug traffickers hiding abroad and destroying their entire ecosystem with a ruthless approach. The NCB, he said, secured the return of Basoya from the UAE creating a ew milestone in the policy of zero tolerance against narcotics. By tracing the criminal through a top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top approach, our agencies have once again proven that no matter where drug traffickers hide, they cannot escape the long arm of Indian law, he said. Basoya's name had surfaced in a seizure of 500 grams of Mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant commonly known by street name meow meow, in Pune in 2024. The probe was later expanded to identify and dismantle the entire drug trafficking network resulting in the recovery of approximately 867 kg of Mephedrone from Pune and 970 kg from Delhi, taking the total recovery to approximately 1,837 kg of Mephedrone. The NCB Mumbai unit took over investigation and identified Basoya as the alleged mastermind based abroad who coordinated activities of the syndicate from foreign shores and smuggle out Mephedrone consignments from India to other countries. A major consignment of approximately 970 kg of Mephedrone, recovered in Delhi, was allegedly linked to preparations for export through courier channels associated with him. His role emerged as an important link connecting the domestic manufacturing and trafficking network with its overseas distribution channels, a statement from the Home Ministry said. His name also cropped up in a separate case of Delhi Police Special Cell relating to international cocaine trafficking. In October 2024, the Special Cell of Delhi Police busted a major drug trafficking cartel, leading to multiple seizures from godowns and other premises in Delhi, Hapur and Ghaziabad, as well as from a factory in Ankleshwar, Gujarat. The coordinated operations resulted in the recovery of more than 1,300 kg of cocaine, Mephedrone and hydroponic weed, it said. Investigation into the cartel revealed Basoya's alleged role in coordinating the procurement, transportation, storage and distribution of cocaine and other drugs, it said. The NCB launched Operation GLOBAL-HUNT, launched to identify, locate and pursue major narcotics traffickers and fugitives operating from overseas jurisdictions using international cooperation mechanisms, including Interpol Red Notices. Basoya repatriation from the UAE is one of the key achievements of the operation, it said. NCB Deputy Director General (operations) Neeraj Gupta told reporters here that Basoya escaped to Dubai just a day after the Pune police registered a case against him in 2014. Basoya is a ig kingpin of the drug trafficking network against whom an Interpol Red Notice was issued in November 2025, Gupta added.

Google can take you to the world, but Guru connects you to yourself: Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji
Google can take you to the world, but Guru can connect you to yourself, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji told a major gathering of saints, devotees and families as revered spiritual leaders came together for a Sant Sansad at Sachkhand Nanak Dham (Darshan Darbar), Iver, on Sunday, 9 August. Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, President and Spiritual Head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, chaired the Sant Sansad, whose central theme was the rejuvenation of Indian culture and the transmission of spiritual values, family traditions and sanskar to younger generations. The gathering was held under the spiritual leadership of Hazur Sant Trilochan Darshan Das Ji, spiritual successor of Sachkhand Nanak Dham, and HH Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, Founder and Global Spiritual Leader of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. Sanjay Giri, CEO of Network 10, compered the programme. The next generation is the now generation Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji devoted much of his address to young people, saying they should not simply be blamed for becoming disconnected from culture. Our younger generation is the now generation, not the next generation, he said, describing young people as the real GDP of the world. He urged parents to communicate values through their own example rather than excessive preaching. Respect them touch them with your own example, he said, adding: They are not careless; they are cared less. Speaking directly to the Indian diaspora, Swamiji said: Be British where professional excellence is concerned, but stay Indian where domestic life is concerned. Sant Sansad Master Jasraj sharing his views Mahesh Liloriya Google, Guru and the inner net Swamiji repeatedly used the language of technology to explain the relevance of spiritual wisdom. Google can teach you about the world, but Guru can teach you about yourself, he said, later summing it up as: Google is great, but Guru is divine. He said technology and spirituality should complement each other. The internet connects people with the world, he said, but people should also develop their inner net. Referring to science and spirituality, Swamiji said: For outer space you need science; for inner space you need spirituality. He also urged people not to confuse speed with direction. You need speed, but at the same time you need direction, he said, comparing the Guru to a spiritual GPS that helps a person stay on the right path. Set the goal; the role will be set, he added. Swamiji also said: Expectation is the mother of frustration, and acceptance is the mother of joy and peace. From Facebook to face your book Turning again to modern life, Swamiji said there was nothing wrong with social media. Go on Facebook nothing wrong in it, he said. But at the end of the day, face your book. People may spend their lives building a digital profile, he said, but what ultimately matters is the file created through their deeds and conduct. Reflecting on cultural transmission, Swamiji said that one illuminated life could inspire countless others. Thousands of extinguished lamps cannot light even one lamp, but one illuminated lamp can bring light into millions of hearts. He also warmly praised young Jasraj, who spoke during the Sant Sansad, as an example of values reaching the next generation. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji (right) speaks at the event Saints call for Swadhyay, sanskar and stronger cultural education The wider Sant Sansad echoed the same concern about cultural continuity. H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji said people often search for happiness in the outside world when true happiness lies within. He said that while the world is pursuing AI Artificial Intelligence it should not forget DI, Divine Intelligence, and GI, the intelligence and wisdom received through the Guru. Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatindranand Giri Ji Maharaj, Shri Panch Dashnam Juna Akhada, Haridwar, stressed Swadhyay self-study and introspection. Jagadguru Swami Chakrapani Nand Giri Ji Maharaj, National President of Sant Mahasabha and Hindu Mahasabha, described the Sant Sansad as a booster for culture and values. Pujya Shri Devendra Brahmachari Ji described Swadhyay as one of the greatest forms of tapasya and said culture must be passed to the next generation wherever Indians live. Pujya Shri Pandokhar Sarkar Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar of Pandokhar Dham, Datia, emphasised devotion and dedication to the Guru. Pujya S.P. Swami of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Gadhada, stressed devotion to Guru and God as a foundation of Sanatan culture. Mahant Shri Rishishwaranand Ji Maharaj, Head of Chetan Jyoti Ashram, Haridwar, called for strong Gurukuls to educate children while keeping them rooted in Indian values. Swami Niranjan Maharaj, Purusharth Ashram Sewa Trust, Haridwar, said the mother is the first Guru, extending that reverence to Mother Earth and nature. Shrimahant Narayan Giri Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar of Shree Dudheshwar Nath Mahadev Math Mandir, Ghaziabad, and President of Delhi Sant Mahamandal, stressed sanskar, discipline and the role of the Guru. Mahamandaleshwar Swami Dr Umakantanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj, Juna Akhada Haridwar and Shashwatam Foundation Mauritius, asked people to reflect: What were we, what are we, and what will we become? Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Founder and Head of International Sadguru Foundation and Peethadhishwar of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa, said God must remain at the centre if Indian culture is to be rejuvenated. Mahant Shri Bhupendra Giri Ji Maharaj of Rishikesh described the congregation of saints as a rare opportunity and said society must do more to pass moral values to the present generation. Also present were Mahant Shri Batuk Giri Ji Maharaj of Atal Ashram, Surat; Gurumata Brahmidevi Ji of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa, and other revered saints. Young participants, including Master Jasraj, Khushi and Shivani, also shared their views.
