I accord my due reverence to Puri Shankaracharya and convey my good wishes to you all present here. In our ‘Guru Parampara’ (tradition of spiritual teacher), In his address, Puri Shankaracharya Shri Nischalananda Saraswati raised concerns over the degrading spirituality in today’s times. He emphasized on the spiritual development of the people of Odisha which is a pre-requisite for their all round progress. Without spirituality, neither Odisha nor India can accelerate further on the path of development.”
