While addressing a gathering of devotees from across India after the Kalash ceremony, he said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made an effort to get yoga recognized all over world, and he was successful in his bid. Taking it a step further, the government should make Goa the world centre for yoga. Since Goa is a tourist destination, tourists will also learn meditation and yoga. Not enjoyment, but long-lasting peace is the aim of life, which yoga and meditation helps to achieve.”
He said he was performing the ceremony to create spiritual awareness and bring happiness in the lives of his devotees.
South Goa MP Narendra Sawaikar, Karnataka MP Raju Shetty, Sanvordem MLA Ganesh Gaonkar were present for the event.
