Hisar: A large number of devotees from various regions participated in the Sri Surabhi Gau Mahayagya, the ritual of chanting the Sri Surabhi Mantra 1.25 crore times, and the Shrimad Gau Bhagavat Katha. On the second morning of the ongoing eight-day 'Gau Shakti Jagran Anushthan' (Cow Power Awakening Ritual) held within the premises of Saraswati College, the National President of the Matrubhumi Seva Sangh—renowned orator Vidushi Bela Pareek Didi—along with Vedic scholars, guided the *Yajmans* (patrons) through the 108-altar *Dashansh Mahayagya* with complete devotion and adherence to scriptural rites. While offering oblations into the sacred fire, prayers were offered for happiness, peace, and the welfare of humanity. Vikas Dhal—Director of Saraswati College of Education and Head of Arrangements for the Gau Shakti Jagran Anushthan Organizing Committee—participated in the *Yagya* along with his family. During this event, a significant number of prominent citizens—including Dayanand Beniwal, Surendra Lahoria, Jagdish Bansal, Ish Arya (from the Patanjali family), Dr. Mukesh Kumar, Ashwini Sharma, and Prithvi Singh Jhajhadia—took part in the *Havan* (fire ritual).
On the second day of the Shrimad Gau Bhagavat Katha currently being held at Saraswati College, the ceremonial lamp was lit by Vijay Dhal (Chairman of Saraswati College of Education), Kamlesh Dhal, Deshraj Manchanda, Randhir Jhajhadia (District Coordinator of Gau Seva Gatividhi), and former Sarpanch Chandrabhan. On this occasion, former Cabinet Minister Dr. Kamal Gupta was present as the Chief Guest. The orator, Vidushi Bela Pareek, honored the Chief Guest Dr. Kamal Gupta, Saraswati College of Education Principal Dr. Sonia Rani, Bhimsen Asija, Manish Saini (Provincial Executive Member of Matrubhumi Seva Sangh from Bhiwani), Ramesh, Yogesh, and Sardar Ankur Singh by presenting them with traditional ceremonial scarves (*Patkas*). Through his skillful anchoring, Neeraj Kumar Gupta successfully created a spiritually charged atmosphere during the event. During the *Gau Katha* (Discourse on the Cow), narrator Vidushi Bela Pareek highlighted the significance of this narrative, stating that repeatedly listening to the *Gau Katha* purifies one's thoughts and cleanses the mind. Furthermore, it inspires individuals to walk upon the path of righteousness. She emphasized that one must never abandon the path of truth and that, having listened to religious tales and the sagas of ancient sages and seers, one should strive to integrate these teachings into one's daily life. Listening to these narratives provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of true *Dharma* (righteous duty) and *Karma* (right action). She further noted that individuals should engage in devotion to God even while diligently performing their regular daily duties. Through such devotion, one gains insight into the true nature of the Divine and steadily progresses toward the righteous path.
As part of the eight-day *Gau Shakti Jagran Anushthan* (Cow Power Awakening Ritual), a tableau depicting the *Shri Krishna Prakatya Mahotsav* (Celebration of Lord Krishna's Manifestation) will serve as a special highlight during the *Shrimad Gau Bhagavata Katha* on March 26. On March 27, the discourse will focus on the origin of the *Kshir Sindhu* (Ocean of Milk), the childhood pastimes (*Bal Leelas*) of Lord Krishna, *Govardhan Pujan* (Worship of Mount Govardhan), and the significance of *Gomay* (cow products).
On March 28, the sermons will center on the character of Lord Krishna as *Dwarkadhish* (Lord of Dwarka)—specifically the *Rukmini Mangal* episode—while on March 29, the significance of the *Sudama Charitra* (the story of Sudama), *Gau Seva* (service to cows), *Gau Puja* (worship of cows), *Gau Daan* (donation of cows), and *Gau Navratri* will be expounded upon. On March 30, following the *Purnahuti Gau Mahayajna* (concluding sacrificial ceremony) at 9:00 AM, a *Bhandara* (community feast) will be organized.
