New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that Sannyasa Deeksha at Santhigiri is an unwavering commitment to women empowerment. The ordainment of Shishyapoojitha Amritha Jnana Thapaswini as Gurusthaneeya marks yet another step in this direction.

Founded five decades ago by Navjyothi Sri Karunakara Guru, Santhigiri Ashram is a hub of spiritual and social activities, and the followers of the Ashram foster a sense of peace and harmony in the community. The Ashram promotes the ideals of compassion and universal brotherhood, transcending religious boundaries, the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister gave special greetings to each and every one who is taking Sannyasa.

Elaborate arrangements are being made in Santhigiri as part of the Sannyasa Deeksha ceremonies to be held on October 24. Important personalities of various religions and eminent personalities in the social and political fields will be present at the ceremony.
