United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday attended a Ramayana recitation by spiritual leader Morari Bapu at the University of Cambridge and said he was present there as a Hindu and not as a prime minister. PM Sunak of the United Kingdom started his address with the chant of 'Jai Siya Ram' and said that it is an honor for him to attend Morari Bapu's Ram Katha on Indian Independence Day at the University of Cambridge.
Faith is very personal for me - Rishi Sunak
Sunak said that "I have come here today not as a Prime Minister but as a Hindu. Faith is very personal to me. It guides me in every aspect of my life." Sunak said that becoming the Prime Minister is a great honor but it is not an easy task. Sunak said, "There are tough decisions to be made. Tough choices to be faced. And our faith gives me the courage, strength, and resilience to do what is best for my country."
"For me, Lord Ram will always be an inspirational figure to face life's challenges with courage, rule with humility, and work selflessly," Sunak said. Sunak said he aspires to lead the way Hindu scriptures teach leaders to lead. Sunak said, "Bapu with your blessings, I aspire to lead the way our scriptures teach leaders to lead."
Recalling his past days when he was chancellor, Sunak said, "For me, when I was chancellor, lighting the lamps for Diwali outside 10 Downing Street was a wonderful and special moment." Pointing to the golden statue of Lord Hanuman seen behind Morari Bapu at all his events, he said that similarly, the golden statue of Lord Ganesha sits on his desk in his office at 10 Downing Street.
Sunak said that I am proud to be a Hindu
Sunak said, "Just as there is a golden Hanuman in Bapu's background, I am proud that a golden Ganesha sits happily on my desk at 10 Downing Street." Rishi Sunak said, "It (the golden statue of Lord Ganesha) is a constant reminder to me of the importance of listening and considering issues before acting. I am proud to be British. Proud to be Hindu."
Reminiscing his childhood days, Rishi Sunak said, “Growing up, I have fond memories of visiting my local temple in Southampton. My parents and family used to organize havans, pujas, and aartis. Later, I used to help in serving lunch and prasad with me."
Sunak thanked Morari Bapu
Sunak said, "Our values and what Bapu does every day in his life are the values of selfless service, devotion, and upholding faith. But perhaps the greatest value is duty or 'seva' as we know it." Sunak further said that he follows not only Ramayana but also Bhagwat Geeta and Hanuman Chalisa. He said, "I am leaving here today remembering the Ramayana on which Bapu speaks, but also remembering the Bhagavad Gita and the Hanuman Chalisa." He also thanked Morari Bapu.
Sunak said, "Your teachings contain truth, love, and compassion and they are more relevant now than ever." He also said that these Hindu values are very much a shared British value. He also thanked generations of his parents and grandparents, saying that without their efforts his generation would not have been where it is today.
