   Haridwar, 14 June | National Saint, Nepal Kesari Dr. Manibhadra Ji Maharaj is on 'Sarvodaya Shanti Yatra'. From Patanjali, this journey reached Badrinath and Kedarnath Dham, after which the stop of this difficult journey again became Patanjali Yogpeeth.

Acharya ji also provided alms to the Jain monk.

After observing the various activities, social service and creative works of Patanjali, Jain Muni said that Patanjali is establishing new dimensions of service with its excellent services and works. Patanjali is playing an important role in nation building by providing excellent services in various fields like Yoga, Ayurveda medicine, education, agriculture, research, cow protection, industry, information and technology etc.
Sharing his travel experience, Dr. Manibhadra said that Uttarakhand not only has high, green mountains but also has many religious places. Both these temples established on the mountain ranges of Uttarakhand are full of natural beauty. He told that this padyatra reached Badrinath Dham on May 12 via Dehradun, Mansuri, Rishikesh, Shivpuri, Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Nand Prayag, Joshimath and Vishnuprayag.
He said that Badrinath Dham is not only full of natural beauty but it is also a place of spiritual practice. Gods reside in every corner of Devbhoomi. Here a wonderful union of Vedic tradition and Shraman tradition can be seen. The Shramana tradition is steeped in Jainism. Kailash area has been the nirvana place of Lord Adinath, the first Tirthankara of Jainism. Apart from this, the deity of Jain religion, Ghantakarna Mahadev or the crocodile god is considered to be the ruler here and Manibhadra is considered to be the ruling deity. He said that the name of Mana village situated here is Manibhadrapuri.
Which was considered as Apabhramsha. After Badrinath darshan, the next stop of the journey was Kedarnath, whose route was extremely difficult but exciting and thrilling. On 14th May the yatra left for Kedarnath. The journey via Gopeshwar, Chowpata, Ukhimath, Guptkashi, Sonprayag reached Kedarnath on 25th May. The journey was a bit difficult due to the narrow and difficult path on foot, mule and cart etc. but it is worth describing the extreme joy that was experienced after reaching Kedarnath Dham is difficult. He said that this journey is really excited, thrilled and it was hilarious.
On the success of the yatra, he thanked Acharya Balkrishna and Patanjali Yogpeeth and said that the yatra, which started with goodwill, was completed without any hindrance.
