Noted religious guru Swami Dayanand Saraswati, founder of the Arsh Gurukulum, was paid tributes by saints and devotees here today.

At Gayatri Shantikunj, spiritual ideologue Dr Pranav Pandya remembered the seer and said he had been associated with Swami Dayanand Saraswati for 30 years.

Swami Dayanand had paid visit to Dev Sanskriti University and Gayatri Shantikunj a number of times in the past decade.

“Swami Dayanand Saraswati had formed an organisation in 1996 named ‘AIM For Sewa’, to bring Hindu organisations on one platform and work for the society. The first meeting was held at Dev Sanskriti University, which was attended by Swami ji himself and Vishwa Hindu Parishad ideologue Ashok Singhal, Shri Shri Ravi Shankar, Swami Chidanand Muni Saraswati and several other noted saints and activists. Swami ji was a great Vedanta scholar and expertise in Sanskrit, we all pray for peace to his soul. Great souls never die and we know he is here only, guiding us with his blessings,” Dr Pandya said.
