Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that Shrimad Bhagwat Katha is a means of awakening the soul, showing the right path in life and promoting harmony and the establishment of dharma in society. He said it would not be an exaggeration to describe the Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapurana as the heart of Indian culture.
The Chief Minister was addressing a Shrimad Bhagwat Katha organised in Panjola, Patiala, in Punjab, on Thursday. Katha Vachak Sitapal Shastri, saints and spiritual leaders, and a large number of devotees were present on the occasion. He said that Shrimad Bhagwat Katha is a sacred journey towards the ultimate welfare of the soul.
He called upon the youth to stay away from the social evil of drug abuse and also help their peers remain free from it. Drug abuse affects not only an individual’s body and mind but also the family and society.
He said that the International Gita Mahotsav is organised every year in Kurukshetra to take the immortal message of the Gita, delivered by Lord Shree Krishna, to humanity. Under the visionary leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the eternal message of the Gita has today gained recognition at the global level.
