Ravinder Raina, while addressing the massive gathering on this occasion, said that India, the Bharat, has been known as a land of rich culture, heritage, religious values and noble traditions. On this land, many spiritual and religious saints were born and Guru Ravi Dass, one such among them, earned the most respectable and revered place in the society of his times. He said that Guru Ravi Dass was born in a poor family and faced poverty, atrocities, and insults but did not deviate from his path of bhakti and came to be known as Sant Shiromani.
