Ahmedabad, 5 February, 2012

Inaugurating the platinum jubilee celebration of Brahma Kumaris organization in Ahmedabad Chief Minister Narendra Modi said the notion ‘entire world is a family and we are all children of one God’ is a way out from all the problems of the world.

India’s spiritual potential is our life-force. By demonstrating its spiritual potential before the world, India would be able to show the world a path of welfare, Chief Minister said.

Mr. Modi said the philosophy of ‘Vasudaiv Kutumbkam’ or ‘entire world is a family’ is in the bases Indian culture. This philosophy will even put a stop to the issue of terrorism.

Going deep into the philosophy of duality and non-duality Chief Minister said the idea of non-duality can only be actualized if there is an absence of the notion of duality. The concept of Advaita (non-duality), which is associated with Adi Shakaracharya, had already been spoken about and practiced millennia back in India.

The mentality that ‘my God and my religion is superior than your’s’ is the bases of many conflicts in the world. But Indian culture incorporates a universal approach. It gives one a freedom to choose his God and his spiritual path. This leads to an atmosphere of peace, unity and harmony in the society, he said.

Love towards the nature is a path of salvage from the problem of global warming. This path is showed to us by our ancestors. The materialistic lifestyle has led the world to many troubles, he said.

Mr. Modi said the Brahma Kumaris has given the world a new value-system by honouring the women-power. Brahma Kumaris movement encourages us to be determined for giving respect to the matri-shakti.

Managing Trustee of BK Niverji hoped that as Gujarat strives to be on first position in all aspects during Mr. Modi’s regime, the state will also be first in the reestablishment of golden epoch.

Ahmedabad Mayor Asit Vora, Dadi Gulzar, Star speaker BK Shivani, BK Sarladidi, Brahma Kumari brothers and sisters and invited guests were also present on the occasion.

The Chief Minister also visited a spiritual fun park which was erected as a part of platinum celebration.
