Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah Siracha Inspires Gujarat Spirit
Newzdaddy Spiritual Updates
Historic and unprecedented, the Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah organised by the Adani family at Siracha has drawn wide attention across Gujarat and beyond. Held at the sacred Shri Daneshwar Mahadev Temple near Mundra, the week-long spiritual gathering concluded successfully on 20 December 2025, leaving behind a deep sense of devotion, unity and social responsibility among the people of Kutch.
Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah is considered one of the most respected spiritual discourses in Hindu tradition. It focuses on teachings from the Bhagwat Purana, which speaks about devotion, duty, compassion and righteous living. Such Kathas are often organised by religious trusts or local communities. However, the scale of this event stood out, as it was organised by a leading industrial group, making it a rare and notable example of corporate involvement in spiritual and cultural life.
The Saptah began on 14 December 2025 and attracted participation from over one lakh devotees from across the Kutch district. Large spiritual gatherings of this nature require careful planning, crowd management and strong local coordination. The turnout reflected not only faith, but also the trust people have in the organisers. Many families travelled daily from nearby villages, turning Siracha into a vibrant centre of devotion throughout the week.
Alongside spiritual activities, the organisers placed a strong focus on public welfare. A medical camp was set up at the venue, benefiting over 4,000 people. Free health camps at religious events are becoming increasingly important in rural areas, where access to regular medical facilities can be limited. Doctors provided basic check-ups, medicines, and advice, while serious cases were further supported through Adani Ports’ medical network. This blend of faith and healthcare highlighted how social services can move hand in hand with religious gatherings.
Arrangements for devotees were extensive and thoughtful. Maha Prasad was served daily to ensure no one went hungry. Free bus services were provided from surrounding villages, helping elderly devotees, women and children travel safely. Such facilities are especially important in large gatherings, where transport and food often become challenges. These steps ensured comfort, safety and dignity for all attendees.
Care for animals and nature also formed an important part of the Saptah. The Adani Foundation distributed fodder to nearby villages and made special arrangements for animals during the event. Green fodder was provided for cows, rotis for dogs and grains for birds. This act reflected traditional Indian values of compassion for all living beings and reinforced the message that spirituality goes beyond humans alone.
The concluding day saw the presence of Shri Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and SEZ, who interacted warmly with villagers and devotees. Such interactions help bridge the gap between corporate leadership and local communities, especially in regions where industry and livelihoods are closely linked. Senior officials, including Adani Ports Group CEO Shri Ashwani Gupta and Mundra–Tuna Port CEO Shri Sujal Kumar Shah, were also present, showing the importance the organisation placed on the event.
The gathering was further blessed by the presence of respected saints and religious leaders. Figures such as Shri Devendragiriji Guruji and Shri Manohargiri Bapu are widely revered in the region, and their participation added spiritual depth and credibility to the Saptah. Former Gujarat Assembly Speaker Dr Nimaben Acharya’s presence also underlined the social and cultural importance of the event, beyond religion alone.
The Adani Group’s long-standing support for cultural and spiritual initiatives was highlighted during the event. From the Prayagraj Mahakumbh to the Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra and support for Gita Press Gorakhpur, the group has often linked development with heritage preservation. The Siracha Saptah added another chapter to this ongoing engagement with India’s spiritual traditions.
Addressing the gathering, Adani Ports Executive Director Shri Rakshit Shah spoke about the values guiding the Adani Parivar. His message focused on Seva, duty and shared happiness. By stating that Bhakti and Karma are inseparable, he reinforced the idea that faith must be reflected through action. His words, spoken in a local Kutchi expression, deeply resonated with the audience and strengthened emotional ties with the region.
The event concluded with heartfelt gratitude. Representatives from villages, social groups and industries felicitated the organisers, while saints and dignitaries were honoured in return. Public thanks were extended to everyone involved, from administrators and police to volunteers, medical teams and sanitation workers. This recognition of every role, big or small, reflected humility and respect.
As the Shrimad Bhagwat Saptah came to an end, it left behind more than memories of devotion. It stood as a powerful example of how faith, service and community spirit can come together to create a lasting social impact.
