Nathdwara (Rajsamand), November 9 (Udaipur Kiran) — Business tycoon Shri Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, visited the holy town of Nathdwara and offered prayers at the Shrinathji Temple, where he participated in the Bhog Aarti Darshan and received blessings from Guru Shri Vishal Bawa Saheb.
During his visit, Ambani announced a major philanthropic initiative — the establishment of a modern and well-equipped “Yatri Evam Varishth Seva Sadan” (Pilgrim and Senior Citizen Service Centre) in Nathdwara. He also donated ₹15 crore to the Shrinathji Temple.
The upcoming Seva Sadan will feature over 100 rooms, offering safe, comfortable, and dignified accommodation for elderly Vaishnavas and visiting devotees. It will include a 24-hour medical unit, nursing and physiotherapy facilities, a satsang and pravachan hall, and a traditional dining area based on the Thaal-Prasad system of the Pushtimarg tradition.
The project, estimated to cost over ₹50 crore, is being developed with the divine inspiration of Pujya Shri Vishal Bawa Saheb and with the dedicated support of Shri Anant Ambani. Its vision is to provide every pilgrim with organized, compassionate, and respectful care that reflects the spirit of seva (service) and bhakti (devotion) central to Nathdwara’s cultural ethos.
On this occasion, Mukesh Ambani expressed his gratitude, saying, “We should be proud to be Vaishnavas — followers of the eternal Sanatan Dharma and the sacred Acharya tradition. The sanctity and dignity of Pushtimarg must remain paramount throughout this project.”
Guru Shri Vishal Bawa Saheb praised Anant Ambani’s visionary ‘Vantara’ initiative, describing it as an inspiring and globally admired model of compassion and service. He also expressed confidence that, with the grace of Lord Shrinathji and the guidance of the Tilakayat family, the Yatri Evam Varishth Seva Sadan will become a symbol of bhakt-seva, upholding the eternal values of care, devotion, and dignity.
Following his Nathdwara visit, Mukesh Ambani also offered prayers at the Guruvayur Temple in Kerala’s Thrissur district, where he donated ₹15 crore, and at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam in Andhra Pradesh, seeking the blessings of Lord Sri Venkateswara.
