While talking to the media, Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Ji Maharaj said that Devendra Fadnavis has been very close to me, he is also a very good person, I got this award by his hands. I have dedicated this award to my country, Sanatan culture and the good people of the country.
In a city like Mumbai, many people from the world of glamour also go towards suicide. Stars like Divya Bharti, and Sushant Singh Rajput also lose their lives who had everything. The learning of livelihood is found in the convent school, but the learning of life is found with the Sadhguru. I conduct big seminars in all the state capitals of the country. Millions of people come there. If you don't have joy and peace, you have nothing. That which is received is sufficient, otherwise, misery pervades everywhere. Neither suffer nor run away, you have to wake up. The name of awakening is religion.
Sadhguru Shri Riteshwar Ji Maharaj further said that it is unfortunate that the role models of any child are not their parents but film stars. Parents should think that there is some deficiency in us, due to which our children do not consider us as role models.
He says "I never did any work for the award; I did not even think that I would get the award. Or I will go to get the award but people told me that going will awaken the people. The well-known Swami Shri Riteshwar Ji Maharaj, who came from Mathura Vrindavan, said that the world runs on truth. Lord Macaulay's education system should be abolished and the education system of Sanatan culture should be implemented because Macaulay's education system has sown the seeds of slavery, where only success is needed. Today, the education of Baap Bada Na Bhaiya, Sabse Bada Rupaiya is being given, due to which parents and gurus are not being respected."
