Developed India vision encompasses social values and national duty, says Rajnath Singh in Lucknow
Lucknow, November 13: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the dream of a developed India is not limited to a five trillion dollar economy, but our aim is to create a nation where there are values in families, harmony in society, respect for women, discipline in youth and a sense of duty towards the nation among citizens.
He said that a country is run not only by laws but by character. Law can maintain order, but trust and harmony in society are born only from good values. The Defence Minister said this on Friday after inaugurating the newly constructed ‘Divya Sanskriti Bhawan’ at Gulzar Upvan, the Rajyoga training centre of Brahma Kumaris on Sultanpur Road in Lucknow.
Rajnath Singh said that this building, like the sun, will help spread the light of spirituality not only in Lucknow but throughout the world. Through spirituality, the Brahma Kumaris have given millions of people the opportunity to progress towards fulfillment in life. The organization has reached nearly 140 countries, spreading the message of peace, balance, and self-respect to humanity.
The Defense Minister said that the sisters of the Brahma Kumaris are leading a drug de-addiction campaign. The organization’s members are accelerating nation-building through their service work. Such efforts are possible only through spiritual consciousness, service, and dedication. Spiritual development is not only a path to personal liberation, but also a means of building national character.
The Defense Minister said that politics is not just a means to attain power, but a sacred means of guiding society and the nation. The mere mention of politics evokes negative feelings among youth today. Therefore, there is a need to connect politics with spirituality and service.
He emphasized that social interests should be prioritized over personal interests. Those entering politics should have a sense of responsibility before rights. India has a rich tradition of Rajdharma. A king should share the joys and sorrows of his subjects. Today, it is essential to re-establish this perspective to connect youth with politics. If service, nation-building, and character-building are reflected in politics, youth will also join.
Rajnath Singh said that Lucknow is creating a new identity for itself. The city is making its mark in every field, including education, culture, defense, security, industry, and trade. With new possibilities for development, Lucknow is emerging in a new role before the country.
Rajyogini BK Radha Didi, Sub-Zone Incharge of Brahma Kumaris Lucknow, stated that the Navadasaktsav is being celebrated to mark the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya and the completion of 72 years of the organization’s spiritual service in Lucknow. The inauguration of Divya Sanskriti Bhawan is an important achievement in this series.
