Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a special presentation from Madhya Pradesh Minister Prahlad Singh Patel, who offered his book “Parikrama-Kripa Saar” and a unique collection of sacred river water. The book chronicles Patel’s deeply personal and spiritual experiences during the Narmada Parikrama, an significant undertaking rooted in India’s cultural and spiritual landscape. The accompanying gift comprised a handcrafted walnut box containing holy water sourced from 108 different rivers, representing a profound connection to the nation’s water bodies. Minister Patel highlighted that the book is the result of two years of dedicated spiritual reflection and practice, stemming from his two completed Narmada Parikramas. He underscored its importance not just for its religious value but as a repository of India’s river traditions and the enduring practice of parikrama. Prime Minister Modi expressed his admiration for Minister Patel’s spiritual dedication, calling it truly inspiring. Patel further elaborated on the book’s significance, articulating it as a living symbol of devotion to Mother Narmada and the rich water traditions of India. The book, initially released on Hindi Diwas, now receives broader national recognition.
