Mumbai : On the sixth day of the ‘Matrubhasa Bhagvat Saptah’ organized by ‘Mumbai Samachar’,
Bhaishri said that problems in life are eternal and their solutions are also eternal. Humans only crave for joy. Where there is an experience of interest, there is joy. A story makes a dull life beautiful. In short, Hari’s story is the one that banishes the suffering of the world. The hearts of Mukhya Manorathi Mehta family, Saha Manorathi Parekh family and Pothi Yajman and devotees were filled with enthusiasm, excitement, and joy follwoing Rukmani’s marriage during Saptah.
Bhaishri spoke beautifully about the blessings of God that when God asked Prahlad to ask for a boon, Prahlad said, if you want to give, give me such a boon that I will never ask for anything from anyone. However, when God insisted, Prahlad said, ‘Do so that my father’s happiness is achieved.’ He asked for the happiness of the father who caused pain. Such reading of stories becomes a means of uplifting life.
The entire atmosphere became very divine due to the spectacle of Rukmani’s wedding. Devotees joined the Rukmani wedding procession with great fanfare and the procession left dancing and singing and reached the Mandava. Rukmani’s wedding was completed amidst the sound of conch shells and chanting of mantras in Myra. The wedding of Rukmini was conducted by Sheetal Biren Sanghvi and the wedding of the groom was conducted by Trupti Dharmesh Gandhi.

This is truly a proud and unprecedented moment.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavisji was welcomed by Mumbai Samachar Editor Nilesh Dave on behalf of Matrubhasa Pratishthan. On the sixth day of Matrubhasa Bhagwat Saptah, Yogesh Sagar MLA Kandivali and Sanjay Upadhyay MLA Borivali were present. Shankaracharyaji described Bhaishri as a first-rate storyteller, mentioned ‘Mumbai Samachar’ and the host family with respect and praised activities. Along with this, he also praised the devotees who took advantage of the satsang. Asking the question of what it means to be human, Shankaracharyaji said, ‘The Supreme Soul resides in every living being. The one who understands this element is a philosopher. This is the same philosophy that is spoken of in the Bhagavad ’
Explaining the matter with an example, Jagadguru said, ‘when king Parikshit came to know that he would die on the seventh day due to a snake bite, he asked Shukdevji Maharaj, ‘what should I do when death is near?’ Shukdevji replied, ‘no one has the boon of immortality and it is important that you have curiosity at this time. Rajan, you have seven days. A moment of association with a saint has the power to transcend the world. This curiosity alone has saved you. Now you will not die. You will be Brahmamay.
How is knowledge attained? How is happiness attained? In response, Shankaracharya said, ‘the answer to all these is in the Bhagavad. The solution to happiness is in the Bhagavad Gita. ‘Mumbai Samachar’ has organized Matrubhasa Bhagavad, which is an excellent effort. What is happiness? Happiness is that which, after attaining it, one does not desire anything else. From an ant to an elephant, everyone is in the pursuit of this happiness, but they do not get it, because they do not know the path.’ In the end, Shankaracharyaji explained the importance of cow protection and expressed gratitude to the Maharashtra government for giving the status of ‘Rajyamata’ to the cow.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis started his address with Jayashree Krishna. Chief Minister Fadnavisji congratulated the ‘Mumbai Samachar’ and said that the great work done by Asia’s oldest newspaper Mumbai Samachar. Respect for the mother tongue is equivalent to respect for the mother. Only those who respect their mother tongue can respect all languages.
Giving information about the steps taken by the central government to respect the mother tongue, he said that in the new education policy brought by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the most emphasis has been given to education in the mother tongue and this is the first time that now even doctors and engineers will be able to get their education in the mother tongue. Terming this step as a step towards a developed nation, he said that this is also necessary because there are developed and developing nations in the world.
In the education system of developed countries, emphasis is laid on the mother tongue, while in developing countries, education is given in a foreign language. Now we are moving towards providing education up to graduation in the mother tongue. He said that in Kal Yuga listening to Bhagavat Sapta means that sins are destroyed and when you listen to Bhagavat from Bhaishri’s mouth, you see a different effect. The atmosphere becomes holy. Today, Shankaracharya is also present with Bhaishri. Moreover, there is also the grand occasion of Rukmani’s marriage.
Pujya Bhaishri, while explaining the importance of health on the occasion of World Health Day, said that today is World Health Day. In Gujarati, we have a saying that the first happiness is to be found by oneself. If health is good, then everything is good. But many people do not appreciate their health when it is good and when their health deteriorates, it becomes expensive.
