In an effort to raise national awareness, Vivek ji set out on a walking tour around India in March 2015.  Beginning in 2015, Vivek ji has walked thousands of kilometers through several regions, addressing various issues along the way. His most recent walk was the Holy Narmada Parikrama. 

 

Beginning in the Yavatmal area of Maharashtra, Vivek ji later walked throughout the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh, and he went on to participate in numerous Pad Yatras and other activities.  

 

According to Vivek ji, "Pad Yatra" was a long-standing practice in India that allowed people to connect with one another in a straightforward manner, which allowed them to persevere through difficult times. Our nation is so deeply divided, and I long to see Indians, to discover and create Indians, just as Lord Buddha and Mahavira did on foot. Mahatma Gandhi, too, chose to walk so that he could connect with the masses, so that people would begin to relate to their surroundings, and so that they would build a strong foundation for our nation.
