In a compelling address at an event hosted by the Srimad Rajchandra Mission in Dharampur, Gujarat, President Draupadi Murmu underscored India’s rich cultural heritage of harmony and global unity. Emphasizing the timeless philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), President Murmu highlighted India’s historical commitment to fostering peace and welfare beyond its borders.
Against the backdrop of contemporary global dynamics marked by expansionist pursuits, President Murmu celebrated India’s distinctive pursuit of humanitarian goals. She lamented the growing detachment from spiritual values in favor of material pursuits in modern times. Stressing the importance of reconnecting with India’s spiritual legacy, she urged for its preservation and understanding in the face of evolving societal norms.
President Murmu particularly praised the invaluable contributions of Jain saints and the philosophy of Jainism to societal welfare. Recognizing their role in
promoting harmony, compassion, and ethical living, she commended their enduring impact on Indian society.
Later in the day, President Murmu is scheduled to engage with members of particularly vulnerable tribal groups in Gujarat, underlining her commitment to inclusive governance and social empowerment.
In a world grappling with discord and division, President Murmu’s call for spiritual introspection and cultural preservation resonates deeply, offering a timeless reminder of India’s enduring commitment to global harmony and human welfare.
