On Sunday, July 13, 2025, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav visited the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi during the holy festival of Guru Purnima. It is worth mentioning that special exhibitions and gatherings were organized on the occasion of Guru Purnima at the BAPS Hindu Temple, Abu Dhabi on July 12 and 13. The head of the temple, Pujya Brahmavihari Das Swami, welcomed the Chief Minister and spoke to him about the incredible construction story of this temple and the noble purpose behind its creation. The Chief Minister was deeply impressed by the wonderful architecture and devotional atmosphere of the temple. He was mesmerized by the inspiring exhibitions on the Guru-Shishya tradition and the influence of a true Guru in the life of an ancient and modern era and was inspired to serve selflessly and continuously. The Chief Minister had darshan and prayers of the deities enshrined in all the sanctuaries of the temple, besides visiting the beautifully decorated Abhishek Mandap, which reflects the message of harmony of Indian culture, where he was particularly delighted to see the holy sands of Jabalpur – the birthplace of the founder of BAPS Hindu temple, His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj. As a lasting memory of his life, Dr. Mohan Yadav hailed the temple as a global symbol of spiritual harmony, cultural unity and timeless values. “It really felt as if the shade of a tree had been found in the desert. When the divine spirit enters, even the impossible becomes possible. The effort that has been made to unite the cultural stream of the entire country of India is wonderful. With this temple, the message of the vastness of Hinduism and the purity of our minds has been flowing throughout the Arab land. Here we have shared our love with everyone, respecting everyone. Here we have the darshan of the major pilgrimages of India. Pramukh Swamiji made a great resolution and I also thank the generosity shown by the king here. Most revered Mahant Swami Maharaj has realized the resolution of Pramukh Swami Maharaj in a real form. Various streams of Hinduism are being seen here. Nothing is left here! The path that Swaminarayan Bhagwan has shown by appearing will always carry the flag of our eternal tradition with pride. Salutations to all. I am revered I thank the saints. I also thank the honorable Prime Minister Modi ji, whose contribution has been in this temple. Coming here, I felt that life has become blessed.
