Tilak Baba has travelled about One thousand k.m. riding his vehicle and applied tilaks to about One lakh 50 thousand people. He is also removing thorns etc. from the path of yatra voluntarily. Vinay Singh has told that his Chandan tilak provides a sense of coolness. People are happily putting tilaks from him.

Sant Akhileswaranand Maharaj explained the spiritual and scientific importance of the yatra during Jan Samvad. He said that environmentalists say environment must be protected and this is possible only if nature is not tampered. For this human beings will have to stop using polythene. Maharaj said that the Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has given the Yatra the form of a campaign by including the resolve for cleanliness, tree plantation and de-addiction. His wife Smt. Sadhana Singh is also a part of the Yatra with his resolve. He said that the Chief Minister and his wife working for the protection of Narmada just like Manu-Satrupa did in Satyug for the conservation of Gomti river. Rishi-munis are also connected in the campaign with him. The Chief Minister’s resolve is today the resolve of the people. He said that the other alternatives will be searched by the Chief Minister for revenue collection after liquor ban. This campaign has become a ritual for the incessant flow of the Narmada and power is obtained by the ritual. Maharaj said that the work of one crore saplings plantation will be done on July 2 which is completed with 15 crore saplings plantations. He said that the Chief Minister has formed a ‘triangle’ of Public, Sant-Mahatma and Government for water conservation. He said that the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan should be termed ‘Mahamandleshwar’. He utters only good words.

State Coordinator of the Yatra Dr. Jitendra Jamdar said that the state is enlightened with power obtained from Maa Narmada. The State’s water supply is being done through Narmada water and 60 per cent land is being irrigated to ensure food arrangement for the state. People should be concerned for Narmada as it provides electricity, water and food to us. Trees work as banks for Narmada as it is through these trees that Narmada gets water. He said the farmers should adopt organic farming and shed chemical farming.
