From Cinema to Spirituality – Esha Deol Takhtani & Bharat Takhtani at Parmarth Niketan

Renowned Bollywood actress Esha Deol Takhtani, Esha Deolji, daughter of legendary actors Dharmendra Deol Ji and Dreamgirl Hema Malini Ji, along with businessman Shri Bharat Takhtaniji, visited the sacred grounds of Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh and participated in the world-famous Ganga Aarti.

Immersed in the divine ambiance of the Aarti at sunset — filled with the light of lamps, the chants of Vedic mantras, and the sacred presence of Mother Ganga — both guests experienced a deep spiritual connection.

They met Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and Sadhvi Pujya Bhagawati Saraswati Ji, received their blessings, and were presented with the sacred Rudraksha sapling — a green gift symbolizing harmony with nature and commitment to the environment.

Esha Ji shared, “The peace I felt at Parmarth Niketan is beyond words. It is not just an ashram — it’s a center of spiritual energy where the mind, intellect, and soul all find rest.”

Pujya Swamiji said, “Cinema is a powerful medium to awaken society, and when it carries messages of spirituality, culture, and service, its impact multiplies. Artists like Hema Ji and Esha Ji visiting spiritual places and joining the Ganga Aarti send a beautiful message to the world.”

Discussions were also held on important issues such as Ganga cleanliness, environmental preservation, women’s empowerment, and water conservation, with Parmarth Niketan, the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, and Ganga Action Parivar playing key roles in these global efforts.

Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani inspired the youth with their message, “Be successful in your careers, but also make service to society and protection of nature an essential part of your lives — that is true Parmarth (selfless service).”
