President of India Mrs. Draupadi Murmu launches Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya’s ‘Sakaratmak Parivartan Ka Saal- 2023’
Raipur, 31 August 2023/ “Jai Johar, Chhattisgarhia Sable Badhiya”! It is a wish come true for me to meet you all on the land of Chhattisgarh. The saying “Chhattisgarhia Sable Badia” has been there for centuries, and it is nothing but the truth expressed in words, said President of India Mrs. Draupadi Murmu today while addressing the inauguration ceremony of the annual project “Sakaratmak Parivartan ka Varsh 2023” of Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya located at Shanti Sarovar, Raipur.
The President of India said that including spirituality in life along with science and technology makes life better. Our new generation is very talented, but sometimes they get frustrated due to lack of patience. It is important to make the new generation aware that if they work hard with patience and confidence in the field of their interest, then they will definitely succeed. Brahma Kumari family has been making sincere efforts to promote the importance of positive thinking and awareness among the masses.
The President said that the Brahma Kumari family is doing a great job for the welfare of the entire humanity. She congratulated them for their efforts and contributions. She said that this program has already started in Odisha, and today I am here for its commencement in Chhattisgarh. Thank you all for inviting me and giving me an opportunity to visit Chhattisgarh again.
She said that on one hand, our country is touching new heights, hoisting the tricolor on the moon and creating records in international sports. On the other hand, the news of students suicide has come to light. Reportedly, two students preparing for NEET ended their lives, along with their dreams and hopes. Such incidents should be avoided at all cost. Victory and failures are part of life, and we should lose faith over setbacks. President said that children are currently dealing with intense pressure of building a successful career. We should help them keep up the faith and positive attitude.
The President also shared her spiritual experiences on the occasion. She said that the Brahmakumari organization has helped in her spiritual journey as well. She told that she had resorted to the path of Bramhakumari, during a difficult time in her life, and she found comfort there. She said that today we all are living in the era of technology. Children are talking about artificial intelligence but it is also necessary to spend some time of the day away from mobile and delve deep into the self-awareness.
In his address, Governor Mr. Vishwabhushan Harichandan said that ‘The Year of Positive Change’ is quite relevant. Positive change refers to the change that benefits individuals, families, communities and nation as a whole. When a society embraces positive change, it becomes stronger. We all know that change is the law of nature. The conservative and traditionalist society opposed to the required change and upgrade in beliefs and traditions gets cut off from the mainstream.Change with time and need is necessary in the society. The tree that doesn’t bends during the storm often gets uprooted. We should adapt to our changing circumstances. This organization can play an important role in positive transformation of society through spiritual knowledge and Raj Yoga.
Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel said in his address that the arrival of the President is a moment of great pride for the people of Chhattisgarh. On behalf of the three crore citizens of Chhattisgarh, I would like to thank the President for her visit. Today, we the people of Chhattisgarh are feeling elated to have the head of the entire nation amongst us. It feels as if one of our own has returned home. This state is a tribal state, a large number of people belonging to Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Classes reside here. This state is a state of farmers, this is a state of the deprived. Ensuring justice to every deprived person is the spirit of the Constitution. We have been receiving spiritual guidance from Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya in the implementation of policies, schemes and programs of Chhattisgarh state.
On this occasion, Executive Secretary of the Institute Brahmakumar Mrityunjay from Mount Abu, Director of Raipur Seva Kendra Brahma Kumari Savita Devi, Regional Director of Indore Zone Brahma Kumari Hemlata, Director of Bhilai Center Brahma Kumari Asha, Additional Director of Academician Services Division Leena, National Coordinator of the division, Mr. Nathmal, and other representatives of the organization along with a large number of citizens were present on the occasion.
