Mathura, 23 November: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that India has always given respect to women. Even in Mathura, the name of Radha ji and then Kanha ji is taken. Saint Mirabai showed us direction in the difficult times of India.
He considered Saint Ravidas as his guru. She was also a social reformer and pioneer. Mirabai teaches us to stay away from conventions and stay connected to our values.
The Prime Minister said that the day is not far when there will be a grand and divine darshan of Lord Krishna in Mathura. Changes are taking place in the Braj region. This is not just a change of system, but it is the development of India’s renaissance.
Prime Minister Modi was addressing the ‘Braj Raj Utsav’ organized at the Railway Ground on the occasion of the 525th birth anniversary of Saint Mirabai.
He said that after the election battle in Rajasthan, I have come here in a devotional environment. This is a matter of great fortune for me. God can be seen in every particle here.
The Prime Minister said that while paying my respects to Lord Shri Krishna and Radharani, I pay tribute to Saint Mirabai. Gujarat has a connection from Lord Shri Krishna to Mirabai. Meera came to Braj from Rajasthan. Then she also went to Dwarka. Mother Ganga called me and then with the grace of Dwarkadhish, I came and settled among you all.
This program organized in the memory of Mirabai is a wonderful example of devotion, reverence and patriotism for us. This is amazing. We see Sudarshandhari in Lord Krishna and Kanha of Vanshi is also seen.
India has always respected women. Here also the name of Radha ji and then Kanha ji is taken. Saint Mirabai showed us direction in the difficult times of India. He considered Saint Ravidas as his guru. She was a social reformer and pioneer.
