Bhakti Parv Samagam

"True devotees trust God. They remain linked with this supreme power and rely on it. Devotion is the expression given to their relationship with God. They do not create or indulge in delusions. Nor do they entertain superstitions based on ignorance," he added. A number of devotees from Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh attended the function.
