A bright Sunday morning found Daaji and the Hon'ble Vice President Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar ji going for a morning walk in the Yatra Garden at around 6 am. Daaji stopped at each and every point and explained in depth what each point was about. After the long walk, they all left for Daaji’s home and then continued further walk in the surrounding garden.

The meditation dias was filled with the Spiritual Leaders for the final session of the Global Spirituality Mahotsav. Around 9 a.m., Daaji, along with Hon'ble Vice President Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar ji, reached the meditation hall and joined all the guests on the stage. 

The meditation session was conducted by a young trainer, Miss Vandhana Kothari, under the guidance of Daaji, for all the members present in the meditation hall and all who had joined the program online. 

After the meditation session, Daaji was conferred a special honour as the Global Ambassador of Peacebuilding and Faith in the Commonwealth by Rt. Hon. Baroness Patricia Scotland, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth. She gave a beautiful talk regarding her appreciation of Daaji’s contribution as a true peace ambassador. 

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that it was a well-earned, well-deserved recognition in the right quarter. 

Daaji said that around 300 spiritual organisations, including the Transcendental Meditation headed by Maharaja Tony Nader, and the Brahmakumaris, had participated in the spiritual mahotsav.

Mr. Bawa Jain, secretary-general for the World Council of Religious Leaders, said that silence is the language of the heart. Having a guru was the greatest blessing in one’s life, he said.

Later in the day, Daaji met many Spiritual leaders and guests in his home around 10.30 am. Shri Kabir Bedi, a well-known movie actor who has been coming to Kanha quite a few times, and Shri Shekhar Kapoor, the famous filmmaker and director, were among those present to meet Daaji. After spending time with everyone until 11.30 am, he met Reverend Yvonne Mcrostie, Uniting Church, and Mr. Haniff Abdul Razak, Pure Land Learning College Association, both from Queensland, Australia, who were seated in his office. After a long discussion with all of them, Daaji went to rest

In the evening, Daaji came to meet a few people in the backstage office. After a short discussion with all present, he then conducted a meditation session from 6.05 pm to 6.34 pm. Several people flooded the room, and more were seated outside. He met the representatives of Judaism and of the Baha'i faith with great interest, embracing them into the fold of his vision of unity. Later, the television news channel Aaj Tak interviewed Daaji. The interview lasted for around 40 minutes.

After the interview, he had a discussion with Ann Clare Bornholt and Dr. Shamendar Talwar, UK guests, and gave them a brighter mind demonstration. Later, he explained to them the evolution of consciousness in his unique manner, which makes it easy for all to understand. 

Daaji told them that, as one of them was a psychologist, he would understand consciousness very well. Daaji explained that the physical body changes a little after reaching maturity, except for slow ageing. There is no question of evolution therein, as it would take millions of years to evolve at a physical level. At the level of the soul, too, there is no evolution possible as it is unchangeable. Then what is it that evolves? The mind, which is called the Manas in Sanskrit,. As it evolves, the intellect evolves, the ego evolves, and so consciousness evolves. As a result, the person evolves. 

The role of the mind is to think. When evolution happens in the state of the mind, we shift from thinking to feeling. We shift from the logical mind to consideration with the heart. That's why women are more evolved than men. Intellect evolves into intuition and wisdom. And finally, the ego, which people often see as an enemy, becomes refined into a friend who keeps giving you feedback on constant and never ending improvement. 

Daaji gave the example of being a flautist who would like to increase the level of his performance each and every time, even if he receives standing ovations at his performances. It is vital that we do better than yesterday. We learn to move from egoistic behaviour of thinking that no one is better than me into a constant search for becoming more refined. This permits the evolution of consciousness, which leads to the evolution of humanity. 

So, as you meditate more and more, it affects your consciousness. Evolution is the evolution of neither the body nor the soul, but of consciousness. And meditation is the only way it can be achieved. There is no other way for humanity to evolve.

You know the United Nations has set the Sustainable Development Goals. The focus is on pollution, climate change, poverty, the education of children, and so many other things. But they forgot one major problem, which is mental pollution. Why would people pollute the planet, destroy the green cover, engender poverty, etc.? Because their minds are polluted. That is the root cause. So meditation helps us with that. After a brief interlude, he invited them and Shri Shekhar Kapoor, along with them, to his residence for dinner that evening.

The culmination of the Global Spirituality Mahotsav at Kanha Shantivanam marked the conclusion of an extraordinary gathering that had been meticulously planned by the Ministry of Culture at the time of India’s presidency of the G20. Heartfulness Organization was informed of the dates but a month in advance of the event. Despite the challenges of organising such a monumental event within a limited timeframe, Daaji's unwavering vision and energy infused every aspect of the program. His simplicity, generosity, and warmth resonated with all who attended, creating an atmosphere of profound spiritual connection and camaraderie.

Throughout the Mahotsav, Daaji's tireless efforts to engage with participants from diverse backgrounds showcased his boundless enthusiasm and compassion. His home became a sanctuary for visitors, where he personally guided them and shared his wisdom. The event brought together a diverse array of individuals, including artists, scientists, philosophers, authors, theologians, and spiritual leaders, as well as dedicated volunteers and seekers of truth.

The magnificence of Kanha's landscape, coupled with the exquisite aesthetics of its gardens, statues, and artwork, left a lasting impression on all who experienced it. However, what truly distinguished this event was the infusion of divine grace, which permeated the souls of all present and imbued the gathering with a profound sense of sacredness and unity.

Indeed, the impact of the Global Spirituality Mahotsav will continue to reverberate in the hearts and minds of participants long after its conclusion. As humanity navigates through turbulent times, the message of unity and compassion espoused during the Mahotsav serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all. Gratitude resonates from every soul present, acknowledging the divine and Daaji for orchestrating such a transcendent gathering on hallowed ground, fostering a collective journey towards spiritual awakening and peace.
