You have always taken my words as your own responsibility and worked wholeheartedly to fulfill them. Recently, I had made an appeal, "Ek Ped Maa ke Naam." Under this campaign, the Swaminarayan community has planted more than 1,00,000 trees," he said.

「從'Swachhta se lekar paryavaran tak'開始，我很高興每當我提出任何呼籲時，所有的聖人和奉獻者都沒有讓我失望。你們一直把我的話當作自己的責任，並全心全意地去履行。
