A symbolic coconut was broken to flag off the Advanced Life Support Ambulance, which would be available to take critically ill patients to a hospital. Then, the dignitaries and guests entered the clinic for a sacred lamp lighting ceremony honouring the beautiful partnership between Parmarth Niketan and Medanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the inauguration Pujya Swamiji said:<\/strong> \u201cService is the greatest form of worship and the best offering or tribute we can make in this sacred time of the Kumbh in the holy city of Prayagraj. The name of the city as Prayagraj reflects its rich history as a city of giving back. To me giving is living and living is giving. Its beautiful to have the Hon\u2019ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand join us in inaugurating this service as his life is also dedicated to the selfless service of humanity.\u201d He concluded by thanking Medanta and the clinicians for offering their services free of cost to the Kumbh Mela and the people of Prayagraj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honourable Shri Trivendra Singh Rawatji said:<\/strong> \u201cThanks to the team from Medanta for caring for yatris not only at this camp, but I am glad to know that there services will also be made available to at all of the akhadas at the Kumbh. I also invite everyone in this spirit of service to be sure to come to the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pujya Mahant Narendra Giriji said, \u201cI congratulate the services of Parmarth Niketan, under the leadership of Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, and the great efforts they are making to ensure a healthy Kumbh Mela. I am also glad to know that this life support ambulance will be made available to all the akhadas in the Kumbh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadhvi Bagawatiji said<\/strong>: \u201cThe greatest way to practice our spirituality is to see the Creator in all of creation. Through health practitioners we are able to touch so much of creation with time, talent, technology and tenacity. The nectar of the Kumbh is flowing in the sacred waters of the Yamuna, Ganga, and Saraswati, and through the hearts and hands of those serving in the medical camp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of service is demonstrated by the generosity of Medanta and doctors and staff giving of their clinical expertise free of cost throughout the entire Kumbh Mela \u2013 free cardiac services and free basic medical services at the camp. Parmarth Niketan also thanked Dr. Naresh Trehan, the Chairman and Managing Director of Medanta \u2013 The Medicity, for his efforts to create the confluence of service, health, and community at the sacred sangam of Prayagraj.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
