It was attended by 150 religious scholars from all over India such as Varanasi, Ujjain, Puri, Kolkata and even Kashmir as well as thousands of devotees.
"We want to spread the knowledge about international peace and brotherhood. Today entire world is suffering from lot of difficult situations, just like insurgency, political and economic problems. All this issues can be resolved if we spread Vedic (ancient Indian scripture) message. This message can eliminate all the evil thoughts from the mind of human being," said Pandit Lakhan Saroop Brahmacharya, a religious scholar from Varanasi.

This is an evil act. So there is only one way to remove those evils and that's through the recitation of edas," observed Noni Gopal Debo Goswami, Satradikhar Prabhu, Dakhimpat, Assam.
