Ponda, 15 May – Just as the victorious shankhnaad of Shriram echoed loudly in all directions from Ayodhya, similarly, the divine trumpet call of the ‘Sanatan Rashtra’ will resound in the sacred land of Gomantak, sanctified by the footsteps of Bhagwan Shri Parshuram, on the occasion of the 83rd birth anniversary of Sanatan Sanstha’s founder Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Balaji Athavale and the organization’s silver jubilee year.

From 17th to 19th May, Sanatan Sanstha is organizing the historic Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnaad Mahotsav on the grounds of the Engineering College at Farmagudi, Fonda, Goa. Citizens from 23 countries including India, saints, mahants, some state chief ministers, and more than 25,000 seekers and devout Hindus will attend. This divine shankhnaad will be the next step towards establishing Ram Rajya.

A magnificent, attractive yellow welcome arch stands as a symbol to awaken awareness of the existence of the three powers — Brahma, Shri Vishnu, and Mahesh!


On this occasion, a grand yellow welcome arch has been erected at the entrance of Sanatan’s Ramnathi Ashram. The unified form of Brahma, Shri Vishnu, and Mahesh is none other than Shri Gurudev Datta. Shri Dattatreya is also fond of the yellow colour, which is the official color of Sanatan. Hence, the arch is yellow. It feels as if the presence of these three powers can be experienced by simply looking at the arch.

Since spiritual practice (sadhana) through the grace of the Guru is crucial in Kaliyug, the arch features a symbolic depiction of the Guru blessing the disciple, emphasizing India’s Guru-disciple tradition. The arch also displays the image of a lotus flower, which signifies the presence of Bhagwan Shri Vishnu, Shrikrushna, and Devi Mahalakshmi.

Passing through this beautiful yellow welcome arch evokes the feeling of entering Shrikrushna’s Dwarkanagari. One feels as if they are about to have the darshan of Shrikrushna – the partial incarnation of Shri Vishnu described in the scriptures, embodied by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Balaji Athavale.
