Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel visits Ambaji to pray for peace and prosperity

Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel prayed at Ambaji Temple for peace, participated in an environmental Bhagwat Katha, and engaged with students for exam guidance.

"Exams are not a test of life, but a reflection of hard work and an opportunity to turn stress into success. - Bhupendra Patel"

Gandinagar, February 7

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel had darshan of Maa Amba at Ambaji and prayed for the peace, prosperity and well-being of the state. During his visit to Ambaji for the foundation ceremony of the first phase of the Ambaji Corridor works, the Chief Minister also offered prayers at the Ambaji Temple, following traditional rituals, according to the Gujarat CMO.

Earlier, he also participated in the country's first Prakruti Prem Bhagwat Katha-Gyan Yagna Mahotsav organised in Gandhinagar, an official release said.

This event is being held from Sunday, February 1 to 6, in collaboration with the Nature First Foundation and nature lovers, to raise environmental awareness in Gandhinagar.

On the sixth day of the narration, the Chief Minister listened to the spiritual discourse and performed the aarti at the Vyaspeeth.

The main speaker of the Katha is renowned Bhagavat Katha narrator Pujya Bhaishri Ramesh Oza, who is delivering the nectar of the Bhagavat Katha from the Vyaspeeth.

With the primary objective of safeguarding future generations from natural disasters and raising environmental awareness, this Katha is being held in complete harmony with nature, amid a lush grove of trees in Sector-6, without any mandap or pandal.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also participated in the 9th edition of 'Pariskha Pe Charcha' with students of Anand Niketan School in Sughad, Gandhinagar, on Friday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the nationwide 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' to inspire students and help them overcome exam-related fear and failure.

For the past eight years, this initiative has offered valuable guidance to students ahead of their annual and board examinations.

Education Minister Dr Pradyuman Vaja, Gandhinagar Mayor Mira Patel, MLAs Ritaben and Alpeshbhai, District Panchayat President Shilpa Patel, City BJP President Dr Ashish Dave and other dignitaries joined the Chief Minister at the event.

Extending his best wishes to students appearing for the Class 10 and 12 board examinations, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said that exams are not a test of life, but a reflection of hard work and an opportunity to turn stress into success.

Good to see focus on both development (Ambaji Corridor) and culture. But I hope the corridor work doesn't disturb the temple's peaceful environment. These projects need careful planning.

Pariksha Pe Charcha is such a helpful program for students! My younger brother attended and felt much more confident about his boards. Glad the CM is supporting it at the state level. Education and mental well-being should always be priorities.

As someone living in Gandhinagar, I appreciate the environmental focus of the Bhagwat Katha event. Holding it without a mandap in a grove is a beautiful way to practice what you preach. More public events should follow this eco-friendly model.

Maa Amba's blessings are important for Gujarat. The CM's visit is symbolic and good for devotees' morale. However, I hope these spiritual visits translate into concrete actions for the people's prosperity - better infrastructure, jobs, and healthcare. Prayers alone aren't enough.

Jai Ambaji! 🙌 It's our family's kuldevi. Nice to see the Chief Minister there. The combination of devotion, environmental awareness, and student support in one news report shows a balanced approach to governance. Hope the Ambaji corridor development benefits local businesses too.
