CM Urges Youth to Stay Away from Drugs
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the remembrance of ‘Ram Naam’ awakens the mind and gives a person the strength to choose the right path even in difficult circumstances.
Saini was addressing the Sadh Sangat during a Satsang organised at Sulahkul Temple in Rampura, Amritsar, Punjab, today. On the occasion, the Chief Minister sought the blessings of Baba Avtar Singh Maharaj. On behalf of the temple management, Baba Avtar Singh Maharaj honoured Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini by presenting him with a shawl and a memento.
The Haryana Chief Minister urged the youth of Punjab not to surrender their lives to drugs. He called upon them to make their parents’ dreams their own resolve. He said that they should play sports, study, learn skills, work hard and take out some time every day for remembrance of God.
Describing the land of the holy city of Amritsar as a land of sacrifice, penance, devotion, valour and service to humanity, he said that India has been illuminating the entire world with its spiritual light for centuries. India is the voice of humanity that has been telling the world for centuries to live with love, move forward together and see the Divine in every living being. The Sulahkul Mission has been carrying forward this great Indian tradition for nearly 200 years.
Nayab Singh Saini appreciated the continuous work being undertaken for humanity by this spiritual mission, which was started by the revered Sant Sri Sahib Dayal Ji, and said that the distinctive quality of our saints is that they set examples through their own lives. The life of Sant Sri Avtar Singh Ji Maharaj is also a testimony to this truth. He said that even during the difficult period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the mission provided assistance to needy families. All these efforts demonstrate that true service can never remain disconnected from the needs of society.
The Chief Minister expressed concern over the growing menace of drug abuse and said that addiction is a serious challenge facing society today. Drugs do not merely destroy the health of a young person; they also shatter the dreams of the entire family. He said that he was pleased that Maharaj Ji is supporting health clubs in 40 villages in organising Kabaddi and Volleyball competitions to keep the youth away from drugs.
He further said that under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving forward with the resolve to build a Viksit Bharat. The dream of a Viksit Bharat will be realised when development is accompanied by values, prosperity by compassion, strength by restraint, and progress by reverence for nature and remembrance of the Divine. He appealed to the people to support Prime Minister Modi in the development of the country.
