He further said: "There is a spiritual festival far and wide. I am heartily grateful to Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj for his love and respect for me. It is my good fortune to spend time with him and gain the knowledge of Sanatan! I have stayed in the biggest hotels of the world. The arrangements here are no less than any other. It is amazing to build this city in just 35 days."
