It is the first time that the prominent spiritual figure Mahamandelshwar Swami Vedmuninand Saraswati has extended his support to former U.S. President Donald Trump. He performed a special hawan and ceremonial rituals in Delhi to seek divine blessings for Trump’s success in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. It was done with traditional fervor, as many of Swami Saraswati’s followers attended the ceremony, hoping that their collective prayers would help influence the outcome of the election in Trump’s favor.
Known to believe that the spiritual world does work in this world, he believes his actions are results of an aspiration for some peace and stability in this world. He said India-U.S. relations were affected because of Trump return to power and the time of Trump’s first tenor was favorable to Indians.
It included the chanting of sacred mantras and making offerings to the fire-believed in the Hindu tradition to carry a person’s intentions to the divine. This ceremony began stirring curiosity and interest among locals and followers of social media, who view the ritual in a mix of shock and admiration over the Swami’s determination to do this.
