Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the 200th anniversary celebrations of Shri Swaminarayan Temple through video conferencing. During this, he said that with the grace of Lord Swami Narayan, a grand bicentenary celebration is being organized at Vadtal Dham, many Hari devotees from the country and abroad have come there. Today people are also contributing enthusiastically in the service work. Bicentenary celebrations are not just an event or a date in history. This is a great opportunity for every person like me, who has grown up with unflinching faith in Vadtal Dham.
PM Modi said, 'I believe that for us this occasion is a proof of the eternal flow of Indian culture. We have kept the spiritual consciousness of the Vadtal Dham, which was established by Lord Shri Swaminarayan 200 years ago, alive even today. We can still experience the teachings of Lord Shri Swaminarayan, his energy here.
Prime Minister Modi said that there is a conspiracy to divide the society on the basis of caste, religion, language, high-low, male-female, village-city. It is important that we understand the seriousness of this attempt of the national enemies, recognize this crisis and defeat such an act together. We have to work together. We have to prepare strong, capable and educated youth. For a developed India, the youth will have to be empowered. Skilled youth will become our biggest strength. The global demand for our youth is going to increase further. Today, most of the world leaders I meet expect that the youth of India, the skilled manpower of India, the youth of India's IT sector should go to their country and work in their country. The entire world is attracted by the potential of India's youth.
Said this about Kumbh in Prayagraj
He said that this time Kumbh Mela is being held in Prayagraj. This Kumbh Mela is being held after 12 years. The world has also accepted this legacy. 40-50 crore people will come to this Kumbh Mela starting from January 13 and lasting for about 45 days. Educate people from all over the world and explain to foreigners who are not of Indian origin what Kumbh Mela is and try to bring at least 100 foreigners to this Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj with great reverence. This will be a work of spreading awareness all over the world.
'It is important to save the youth from drugs'
PM Modi said that the Swaminarayan community has always worked very hard on de-addiction. Our saints and mahatmas can make a huge contribution in keeping the youth away from drugs and making them drug-free. Such campaigns and efforts are always necessary to save the youth from drugs and we have to do this continuously.
'The example of Ayodhya is in front of all of us'
He said that now the example of Ayodhya is in front of all of us. A dream has been fulfilled after 500 years. The transformation of Kashi and Kedar is in front of us. A new consciousness, a new revolution is visible everywhere. Not only this, there was no one to find the hundreds of years old idols stolen from our country, today by searching and finding our idols stolen from the world, the stolen forms of our gods and goddesses are coming back, returning to our temples.
Our youth should be empowered for 'Developed India': Modi
PM Modi said that today a very big objective has emerged in front of our youth. The whole country is moving forward with a definite goal, this goal is - of developed India. I request the saints and mahatmas of Vadtal and the entire Swaminarayan family to connect everyone with the great objective of developed India. Like in the freedom movement, the desire for freedom, the spark of freedom was inspiring the countrymen from different corners of the society for a century. Not a single day, not a single moment passed when people gave up their intentions and resolutions of freedom. The same desire, the same consciousness that was there in the freedom movement, it is necessary to have the same desire, the same consciousness every moment in 140 crore countrymen for 'Developed India'. Youth can and will build the nation, for this we have to create empowered and educated youth. For a 'developed India' our youth must be empowered. Skilled youth will become our biggest strength.
