‘Shadani Darbar’, the oldest ashram of ‘Sindh-Hind’ (a province now in Pakistan), is a place of worship for Hindus of the Sindhi community in India and Pakistan ! Various programmes are being organised in Raipur (Chhattisgarh) from 17 May to 29 July 2026 on the occasion of the bicentenary birth anniversary of Param Pujya Mata Sahib Hasi Deviji, the fifth Pithadhishwar of this spiritual seat. During these 70 days of programmes, thousands of devotees from India and Pakistan are visiting Shadani Darbar every day.
At the invitation of the present ninth Pithadhishwar of Shadani Darbar, Param Pujya Dr Yudhishthir Lal Maharaj, Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Nilesh Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Mukul Gadgil, the spiritual successors of the founder of Sanatan Sanstha, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Balaji Athavale, attended the programmes at Shadani Darbar on 20 and 21 July 2026. On 20 July, they guided devotees at the Nari Shakti Sammelan, while on 21 July, they guided devotees at Shadani Darbar itself. They also gave guidance providing spiritual direction to seekers of Sanatan Sanstha and devout Hindus engaged in the work of Dharma through Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in Chhattisgarh. During the tour, they also took time to meet various industrialists, eminent personalities and political leaders. This tour of just one and a half days by the two spiritual successors gave the experience of being completely planned by God.
A tour by the two Sadgurus that connected the entire Sindhi community with Sanatan Sanstha !
‘Sanatan Sanstha’ and ‘Shadani Darbar’ are Dharmapithas that impart Sanatan values to followers of Sanatan Dharma. The spiritual fraternity that has developed between these two spiritual organisations over the past 13 years, since the Rajim Kumbh Mela in 2013, is unprecedented. The two organisations have repeatedly come together for the protection of Dharma at the Kumbh Melas in Prayag, Haridwar and Rajim, the Vaishwik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav held in Goa, the Shankhnad Mahotsav held in Delhi and the Hindu Rashtra Convention held in Chhattisgarh.
It was through this bond of spiritual fraternity that the ninth Pithadhishwar of Shadani Darbar, Param Pujya Dr Yudhishthir Lal Maharaj, invited Sanatan Sanstha’s Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil to Chhattisgarh. The tour of the two Sadgurus became a means of connecting the entire Sindhi community with Sanatan Sanstha.
Devotees experience the influence of the words of Saints during the guidance given by the two spiritual successors
At the beginning of the Nari Shakti Sammelan, the audience was engaged in discussions among themselves. However, as soon as Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Singbal began speaking, immense Chaitanya spread throughout the atmosphere. All the listeners became calm and introspective, began listening attentively to the subject and responded spontaneously. Such silence prevailed that even the sound of a pin dropping could have been heard. On this occasion, the positive influence that the words and presence of Saints have on society could be experienced directly.
Words of praise by Param Pujya Dr Yudhishthir Lal Maharaj about Sanatan Sanstha and the guidance given by its spiritual successors, the two Sadgurus !

1. Words of praise for Sanatan Sanstha : Sanatan Sanstha has its headquarters in Goa and is active throughout the country. The main objective of Sanatan Sanstha is to propagate our Vedic civilisation, Indian Sanskars and Guru tradition. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Balaji Athavale founded this organisation to make India spiritually superior in the entire world and to propagate divine thoughts. This is an extraordinary organisation where seekers who attain spiritual progress are called Saints and Sadgurus. In the true sense, this is our Rishi tradition, which brings dedicated people forward as protectors of Dharma !
2. Words of praise for Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil ! : On the occasion of the bicentenary birth anniversary celebrations of Param Pujya Mata Sahib Hasi Deviji, I was inspired to invite the Gurumatas of Sanatan Sanstha, an important organisation of India.
A. The Gurumatas of Sanatan Sanstha have come today. You have all heard their guidance. Look at them. Have their Darshan ! I was inspired to compose a verse about them in Sanskrit, which I will recite to you: ‘Ati Sarala, Ati Mridula, Griha Kushala, Sa Atula, Mama Mata Devata.’ (Meaning: They are extremely simple and straightforward in nature, they are extremely gentle, they are highly skilled in household duties, and they are incomparable. Such mothers of mine are my Deities.)
B. The Gurumatas of Sanatan Sanstha have presented the practical aspects of Sanatan Dharma with great skill. Their deeply devotional and extremely sweet manner of explaining the Indian woman in the form of a Devi was such that, while listening to them, it felt as though a Devi herself was speaking and directly imparting guidance, explaining things to her children.
C. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, who is in a state of Sachchidananda, is in Goa, and you are his spiritual successors, ‘Sat’ and ‘Chit’. You are embodiments of Truth, of Shakti and knowledge, like Saraswati, speaking sweetly like mothers, having the nature of Saints who impart guidance, giving positive energy, like teachers, like Shakti and like Deities ! Just as Gurudev, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, has given you your names, so too are your attire, nature and attraction, and the divine form of motherly affection, the same ! We consider ourselves blessed that, at this Nari Shakti Sammelan, we have invited our Gurumatas in their true Indian form.
Gratitude expressed by Pujya (Mrs) Deepika didi, wife of Param Pujya Dr Yudhishthir Lal Maharaj !
While expressing her thoughts at Shadani Darbar on 21 July, Pujya (Mrs) Deepika didi said, “The speech of both Gurumatas is extremely sweet, simple and easy to understand. I myself was deeply impressed after listening to them. That is why I have come again today to benefit from this programme. The effect of their words is clearly felt by all the listeners and seekers.” At the end, she requested, “Please visit us again and again and bless us all by making us feel fulfilled.”

Eminent members of the Sindhi community gather to meet the two Sadgurus after being influenced by their guidance
After the Nari Shakti Sammelan, industrialists, Saints and eminent personalities who had been influenced by the guidance of the two Sadgurus came to meet them. A Saint from Junagadh invited Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Singbal to his area to give similar guidance. An industrialist who had come from Pakistan respectfully invited them to visit Pakistan to guide Hindus in the Sindh province. Some industrialists from Pakistan also assured the two Sadgurus that they would provide full assistance in arranging their Darshan of the pilgrimage sites and Shaktipeethas there. During the two-day programme, many eminent members of the Sindhi community learned about the work of Sanatan Sanstha with devotion and also expressed their desire to visit Goa and see the ashram.

Experience that ‘Sanatan Sanstha’ and ‘Shadani Darbar’ are one family
This was the first visit of the two Sadgurus to Shadani Darbar. However, Param Pujya Dr Yudhishthir Lal Maharaj’s disciples Mr Bunty Chhabra, Mr Sumit Chawla, Mr Amar Shadani and other associates performed seva with immense devotion. With the feeling that ‘these are Saints from our own family’, they served them fruit, sat at their feet to take photographs and conversed with them openly and affectionately. All these services were performed with great closeness and from the heart.
One statement was common in the words of all the devotees: “We do not feel at all that we are meeting for the first time. It feels as though we have met many times before. Through your words and conduct, we are directly experiencing that Sanatan Sanstha and Shadani Darbar are one family.”
Mr Chetan Rajhans, National Spokesperson, Sanatan Sanstha.
