Valsad, Gujarat, Oct 18 (VNI): Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, and Dr Priti Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation, visited Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (SRMD) in Dharampur, Valsad district, South Gujarat, on Sunday during Navratri. The couple sought the blessings of Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji and participated in spiritual and humanitarian activities at the ashram.
Sharing his experience on X, Gautam Adani said that he and Dr Priti Adani spent warm moments with Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji and received his blessings at Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram. He described performing charan pakshal at the world’s tallest idol of Shrimad Rajchandraji as a deeply moving experience.
During their meeting, Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji highlighted the close relationship between saadhana (spiritual practice) and seva (selfless service). He also emphasised the importance of using one’s life, resources and opportunities for the greater good of society.
The Adani couple attended a satsang at Raj Sabhagruha, SRMD’s meditation and spiritual discourse complex, where Pujya Gurudevshri spoke about the purpose of human life and the significance of spiritual practice. Gautam Adani also interacted with young members of the Mission, including students and professionals from diverse academic backgrounds who are contributing to social initiatives.
Dr Priti Adani visited the Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women, where she interacted with tribal women benefiting from skill development, livelihood and entrepreneurship programmes. She also visited the Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre and participated in the distribution of medical aids to children with disabilities. At SRMD’s Jinmandir, she offered prayers to Bhagwan Mahavir.
During the visit, Gautam Adani expressed interest in exploring potential collaborations with Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care (SRLC), the Mission’s humanitarian service arm. Dr Priti Adani also discussed opportunities to collaborate on SRLC’s vision care initiative, which aligns with the Adani Foundation’s social welfare activities.
Spread across 355 acres, Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram serves as the international headquarters of SRMD. Founded in 1994 by Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, the Mission operates more than 142 centres across six continents. It draws inspiration from Shrimad Rajchandraji, the Jain spiritual master revered as Mahatma Gandhi’s spiritual mentor. The Mission focuses on inner transformation through wisdom, meditation and selfless service.
Through its initiatives in healthcare, education, humanitarian assistance, animal care and environmental welfare, SRLC has reached millions of people globally. The organisation continues to work towards improving lives through community-focused programmes and compassionate service.
