Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that in today’s era of mobile technology and social media, the younger generation must not drift away with their cultural roots in the pursuit of modernity. He said that Youth should embrace spiritual wisdom and the message of karma as taught by Lord Shri Krishna to maintaining balance in life.
The Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing the Shri Krishna Kripa Prerna Utsav organized to celebrate the birthday of Gita Manishi Swami Gyananand in Gurugram late last evening. Sh Nayab Singh Saini extended his heartfelt wishes to Swami Gyananand on his birthday and received his blessings during the event.
The festival also saw the participation of Delhi Chief Minister Mrs. Rekha Gupta, saints from across the country, and renowned Bhajan singers.
Take time to read two verses from the Gita
Welcoming saints from various parts of the country as well as Haryana’s daughter and Delhi Chief Minister Mrs. Rekha Gupta, the Chief Minister praised their presence and contribution to the cultural spirit of the event. In his address, he encouraged the youth to embrace values of love and sacrifice, irrespective of the professions they choose — be it as doctors, engineers, or entrepreneurs.
"Whenever you find time, read at least two verses from the Gita," he urged, highlighting the timeless relevance of spiritual texts. He added, “Our goal is to ensure that future generations not only read about Indian culture in books but also live it in their everyday lives.”
Operation Sindoor: A Symbol of National Dignity
The Chief Minister said that Gurugram is not merely a modern city, but a land deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual consciousness since the time of the Mahabharata. It was here that Guru Dronacharya imparted lessons on dharma and war to his disciples.
He added that while saints have always guided society on the path of non-violence, there have been moments when our patience has been mistaken for weakness. In such times, India has responded with strength and determination.
Referring to a recent incident in Pahalgam, the Chief Minister said that our armed forces decisively eliminated terrorists by crossing the border during Operation Sindoor. This strategic military action, carried out under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi, has emerged as a powerful symbol of national dignity and resilience.
Along with material development, Spiritual Consciousness is also being elevated
While extending his congratulations to Gita Manishi Swami Gyananand, the Chief Minister praised his tireless efforts, adding that the profound wisdom of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is now reaching people across the globe. He said that the Haryana government is not solely focused on material progress but is equally committed to nurturing spiritual consciousness in the state.
As part of this vision, the Gita Mahotsav has been elevated to an international level, aiming to establish Kurukshetra as a globally recognized spiritual and religious destination. In addition, through the Tirtha Darshan Yojana, senior citizens are being provided with the opportunity to undertake pilgrimages.
