International Siddhashram Shakti Centre Hosts Shiv Katha in Remembrance of Air India Crash Victims

London. The International Siddhashram Shakti Centre has commenced a five-day Shiv Katha in remembrance of the victims of the tragic Air India crash, paying homage to those who left us too soon. From 18th to 22nd August 2025, daily prayers and rituals will be held from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm under the divine presence of HH Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, with soulful recitations by PP Shri Jogi Dada. The gathering will also be graced by distinguished guests from Gujarat and across the world.

Opening the sacred Shiv Katha, Shri Jogi Dada shared Guruji’s vision behind this remembrance:

“This Shiv Katha is not only a spiritual gathering but also a tribute to those lives lost in the Air India crash, a flight that was coming from Ahmedabad to London. By remembering them in prayers, we ensure their souls find peace.” He said, “Siddhashram belongs to all — our Sadguru is the guiding light in our lives. Just as Mahadev’s darshan is equal to a holy pilgrimage, engaging in such prayers strengthens our culture and Sanatan Dharma. It is heartening to see today’s youth actively participating in bhakti, for it is essential to preserve and nurture our heritage.”

HH Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji emphasised the eternal connection of Shiv Shakti and Chetna (consciousness):

“Shiva is not only a deity but the ultimate consciousness. Through Shiv Katha, we awaken the inner energy, and through collective prayers, we spread vibrations of peace to every corner of the world. May the souls of the departed attain eternal peace, and may their memories guide us towards compassion, unity, and higher consciousness.”

The Guest of Honour, Shri Pankajbhai Modi, expressed his deep sentiments:

“Here, I experience the very essence of Shiva and Shivatva. Guruji’s noble efforts are truly inspirational. Dharma means to serve and help others, and Guruji is living that dharma. His work in uniting people, strengthening our culture, and sustaining Sanatan Dharma is extraordinary. It is the duty of all of us to stand behind him in his noble initiatives for humanity.”

The first day also witnessed the divine presence of Chaitanya Shambhu Maharaj, Shri Maheshbhai Bhatt, Dhruvbhai Bhatt, and Rajendrabhai Thakkar, who joined the gathering in prayers. Following the Aarti, a sacred Rudrabhishek was performed, dedicating its divine energy to the souls of all those who perished in the crash.

The event carries the heartfelt message of Siddhashram:

“They left us too soon, but will remain in our hearts forever. We pray for their everlasting peace.”

The International Siddhashram Shakti Centre warmly invites all devotees and community members to join the remaining days of the Shiv Katha and unite in prayer, faith, and reflection.
