Resonating with Divinity: A Transformative Experience at the International Yoga Festival 2025.
The sacred shores of Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga, witnessed a momentous gathering at the International Yoga Festival 2025. Spiritual luminaries and global participants came together at Ganga Resort, Rishikesh for a profound celebration of wellness, unity, and inner transformation.
The festival was graced by the presence of Dr. Chinmay Pandya (Pro Vice Chancellor, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya), Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, and Shri Subodh Uniyal (Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture, Uttarakhand), and other revered figures, who collectively inaugurated the event, emphasizing Uttarakhand’s deep cultural connection with yoga and its global significance.
In his enlightening address, Dr. Chinmay Pandya beautifully highlighted the responsibility of institutions like Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya in spreading the ancient wisdom of yoga to all corners of the world. He spoke about yoga’s transformative power, not only for individual well-being but also for the collective upliftment of society. Dr. Pandya further emphasized how DSVV has been at the forefront of promoting holistic education and spiritual values, deeply rooted in the timeless teachings of our revered Pujya Gurudev.
In keeping with our tradition of sharing the divine knowledge of Pujya Gurudev, Dr. Pandya graciously presented each dignitary and participant with Gurudev’s literature and a picture of Maa Gayatri—a token of appreciation and a source of inspiration for their continued journey toward spiritual growth.
