Jammu, Feb 15: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday has urged the people to harness power for societal transformation and craft a blueprint for a prosperous India that lights the world's path.
The Lieutenant Governor was speaking at the commemorative event on the occasion of 508th Nirvan Diwas of Sant Kabir, organised by Shiromani Sant Kabir Bhavan at Chak Avtara Bishnah, Jammu.
The Lieutenant Governor stated that Sant Kabir's eternal wisdom and his message paves a brighter societal path, deepening our unity while forging spiritual and material triumphs for the nation.
He said that the legacy and philosophy of Sant Kabir is shining brightest today, awakening society's inner soul.
“India's greatest strength is its ability to master Tech and Tradition, Microchip and Mantra. Our ancient roots and digital branches, modern tools and timeless values of ancient sages are the perfect blueprint for 21st Century success and prosperity. India is stepping forward to guide the world toward peace and prosperity through its great saintly tradition and timeless values,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He emphasized that India's timeless mantra "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"—the world as one family—holds unprecedented relevance today.
“As global divisions deepen in economic and strategic realms, India's timeless wisdom offers a vision where unity, peace, and joy become a universal way of life. In the face of civilizational threats, the world will turn to India for grounding,” Sinha said.
He also called upon all the sections of society to discharge their shared duty to eliminate economic gaps and social division and embrace inclusion and constitutional values for true harmony.
Responding to the demands, the Lieutenant Governor reiterated the commitment of the Government of India to resolve the issues of reservation in promotion and a gazetted holiday on Sant Kabir Jayanti in UT of J&K.
