Sree Narayana Guru is guiding light for nation-builders: PM Modi
New Delhi, June 24 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday marked the centenary of the historic conversation between Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi at a special celebration held at an event here. In his address, Modi underscored the historic significance of the 1925 meeting between the two legends, which he described as a pivotal moment that shaped the future of India's freedom movement. He stated, 'This meeting not only showed a new direction for our struggle for independence but also infused the movement with a deeper meaning, reinforcing the dream of an independent India,' and asserted that Sree Narayana Guru's teachings have a timeless relevance, particularly for those who are committed to the service of the nation and society. "India's speciality is that whenever our country gets entangled in the whirlpool of difficulties, some great personality is born in some corner of the country to show a new direction to society," the PM said, while adding that some of them work for the spiritual upliftment of society, while others accelerate social reforms in the social sphere. "The ideals of Sree Narayan Guru are a great treasure for all of humanity. Those who work with the resolve to serve the nation and society, Sree Narayan Guru is like a guiding light for them," he said. The PM also expressed his deep connection to the ideals of Sree Narayana Guru, particularly in relation to his work for the oppressed and marginalized communities. PM Modi noted, "Whenever I make decisions for the betterment of the exploited and poor, I always remember Guru Ji. A hundred years back, under British rule, people used to fear speaking against those deteriorated societal conditions. Sree Narayana Guru did not fear anything because he believed in harmony and equality; he believed in truth, service and cordiality. This very inspiration shows us a way of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'; this very belief gives us the strength to make an India where the person standing at the last is our first priority," he added. Emphasising India's global leadership, Modi further noted the country's role in promoting initiatives like World Yoga Day and the One Sun, One World, One Grid project, which aims to create a sustainable energy future. "India is leading the way in global movements focused on environmental sustainability, health, and unity. In 2023, during India's leadership of the G-20, we embraced the theme 'One Earth, One Family, One Future,' reflecting our shared global responsibility,' the PM added.
