During the visit, Kranti Gaud also praised the mass wedding ceremony for girls to be organised at Bageshwar Dham.
She said, “Mai chahti hu ki har saal Guruji kanyaon ki shadi karwate rahein. Jinke parents kuch chizein afford nahi kar pate, kuch logon ke parents nahi hote Guruji unki shadiyaan karate hain. All India ko proud feel ho raha hai. Or main to Bundelkhandi hu, mujhe or zyada proud feel ho raha hai….(I want Guruji to continue arranging weddings for daughters every year. There are many girls whose parents cannot afford the expenses, and some who do not have parents at all—Guruji takes responsibility for their marriages. The entire country feels proud of this work, and since I am from Bundelkhand, I feel even more proud).”
