Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has said that India’s reconstruction is essential not only for the country but also for the welfare of the entire world. Addressing the centenary celebrations of the All World Gayatri Pariwar in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, Mr Shah said that great visionaries such as Swami Vivekananda, Maharshi Aurobindo and Pandit Shriram Sharma had expressed the belief that when India awakens with its full spiritual and intellectual strength, it will illuminate the entire world and the universe.

 

He said that those who understand Sanatan Dharma, Indian culture and the country’s history firmly believe that solutions to the world’s problems lie within India’s ancient traditions.

 

The Union Minister said that Haridwar is a sacred Kumbh region, known as the land of penance of the seven sages. He said that on this divine land, saints have, through their spiritual strength, guided not only themselves but also millions of people towards the path of spirituality.

 

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that today India is re-establishing its glorious culture, knowledge and science in a renewed form.
