In a moment of spiritual pride for Indians around the globe, Baba Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham commenced his first major international tour in the United States this week — a journey that’s fast turning into a cultural movement.
Thousands of Indian-origin devotees packed the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey, where the opening discourse took place. The crowd resonated with powerful chants of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Sanatan Dharma Amar Rahe,” creating a sacred atmosphere rarely seen on foreign soil.
This tour, organized by the Global Hindu Dharma Council, is not just spiritual outreach — it’s a statement of identity. Baba Shastri, with his warm presence and deep-rooted wisdom, urged everyone to stay connected to their Indian heritage.
“Modernity is acceptable, but cultural amnesia is dangerous. Sanatan Dharma is not merely religion — it is the original moral compass of humanity,” he proclaimed.
The event included a mass chanting of Hanuman Chalisa, live spiritual counseling, and energy healing sessions. Many attendees emotionally recounted how Baba Shastri revealed unknown personal details from their lives — a gift many followers describe as "divine vision."
