Chandigarh : Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that 5161 years ago, Lord Krishna delivered the message of the Bhagavad Gita to the entire world through Arjuna. He emphasized that the message of performing one’s duties without attachment to the results, as taught in the Bhagavad Gita, is not only spiritually profound but also aligns with scientific principles.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan was speaking at the ongoing International Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra, today.
He said that a person who works with a desire for the outcome is constantly troubled, whereas one who works selflessly reaches the heights of success. The future generation of the country must read, understand, and adopt the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in today’s context. By embracing its wisdom, the youth should aim to set ambitious goals in their lives and follow the path of action to achieve them.
While praising the efforts of Gita Manishi Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj in spreading the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, Union Minister Sh Shivraj Singh Chouhan highlighted that India has been a sacred land of sages and saints for thousands of years. These sages, he said, have always been concerned with the welfare of the entire world. They regarded everyone as their own and prayed for the well-being of all.
Union Minister said that on this sacred land, the young generation should pledge to walk the path of religion for the welfare of the entire world. He further stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is progressing rapidly, and it is evident that India will soon emerge as the Vishva Guru. He also expressed his gratitude to Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini for inviting him to the Gita Jayanti celebrations.
Speaking on this occasion, Gita Manishi Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj extended his congratulations to the people of the country on Gita Jayanti. He mentioned that on this auspicious occasion, around 1.50 crore people from 45 countries, along with participants from 4000 centers in India and all districts of Haryana, took part in the Global Gita Paath and the “Ek Minute, Ek Sath, Gita Path” initiative. He acknowledged the efforts of the government, which have helped elevate the Gita Mahotsav to an international level, with programs being organized in foreign countries as well. Swami Shri Gyananand Ji emphasized that if the holy book of the Gita is studied from childhood, it will benefit the future generation, making them stronger and more empowered, ultimately leading to the greatness of our country.
