26-01-2014
No country can progress towards its betterment and neither can the sovereignty of the country be truly protected without keen Patriotism - these thoughts were expressed by His Holiness Srimad Jagadguru Ramanujacharya Swami Shri Purushottamacharya Ji Maharaj. He was addressing the Republic Day ceremony organized at Swami Sudarshanacharya Ved Vedang Sanskrit Mahavidayalaya, located in the sacred premises of Shri Sidhdata Ashram.
On this occasion Shri Guru Maharaj said that, there is no doubt that a religious minded person would also be a patriotic person by his/her nature. An individual following the spiritual path will always follow his /her acts and deeds in a righteous manner. The path of righteousness guides the individual to lead a life, which also includes his/her moral duties towards the nation and society. He unfurled the Tiranga, (National Flag) Pride of the Nation; in the Mahavidayalaya complex and graced all the venerators present with best wishes for the Republic Day and distributed Prasad to all. On this occasion, the students also presented patriotic programs in Sanskrit and Hindi languages, truly delighting everyone who immensely appreciated it. They also showered light on patriotism through the sacred hymns of the Vedas and religious scriptures. Guru Maharaj gave away the special certificates and prizes to the students who gave their outstanding presentations.
358 persons took advantage of the weekly health camp organized in the Divyadham. Dr. S. D. Chowdhary, Shiv Narain, S. R. Meena, Dr. A. B. Chatterjee, Dr. Puja etc offered their special services in the camp.
Guru Maharaj explained the cardinal significance & benefits of healthy living to all and offered his divine blessings and Prasad too.
