A new chapter in the city’s healthcare landscape was marked with the inauguration of the Apollo JBP Hospital by Bageshwar Dham Sarkar Pt Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, on Wednesday. The spiritual leader inaugurated the hospital by cutting the ceremonial red ribbon and offering prayers to Lord Radha Krishna.
After dedicating the state-of-the-art facility to the public, Pt. Shastri lauded Chairman Saurabh Baderia and his family for their contribution in bringing world-class healthcare to the city. The inauguration ceremony was followed by a spiritual gathering, ‘Gurudarshan and Aashirvachan’, held at Global College campus. Pt. Shastri said, “Apollo Hospital is not only a place for medicine but also a place of divine grace.
The hospital’s foundation was laid with devotion and prayers, and I personally stayed here for seven days during its early phase. Any hospital that begins with spiritual energy will certainly bring blessings and well-being to all.” He emphasized that there are two true places of prayer, temples and hospitals, and that in hospitals, prayers emerge straight from the heart. Referring to the Ramayan couplet, “Laye Sanjeevan Lakhan Jiyaye...”, he remarked that divine blessings are already upon Apollo Hospital.
He further noted that the Apollo JBP Hospital signifies a medical revolution in Jabalpur and marks a major milestone in the city’s history. Located in the sacred land of Maa Narmada, the hospital represents a major leap in the region’s healthcare capabilities. The inauguration ceremony was graced by Chairman Saurabh Baderia, Rajeev Baderia, Dr. Shobhit Baderia and several dignitaries, including MLAs Sushil Tiwari Indu, Ashok Rohani, Neeraj Singh, and other eminent personalities from Madhya Pradesh.
