The Vice-President said, “The North East is now centre stage in our national story”, emphasizing the growing prominence of the North East region in India’s national narrative.He remarked, “We are seeing a phase of Purvodaya that was never imagined, even by the people of this land.”Shri Dhankhar emphasized that the transformation of the North-East is a testament to the spirit of inclusion driving India’s progress. “For decades, this region faced challenges relating to development and connectivity, but today it has become a true priority,” he observed, reflecting on how the region’s development is advancing rapidly each day.
Addressing the gathering at the 21st International Conclave of Krishnaguru International Spiritual Youth Society at College of Veterinary Science, Guwahati today,the Vice-President said, “The three principles that will help you as a part of the transformation mechanism in our country are: in any situation, do not distance yourself from spirituality. Krishnaguruji has taught the path of spirituality, and straying from this path would be a mistake. Along with this path, keep in mind nationalism, modernity, and technological development. When these three combine, as has been mentioned here, and as was recorded many years ago — the status of being a ‘Vishwaguru,’ the greatest economic power in the world — no one will be able to stop it; it rests on your shoulders”, he said.
The Vice-President praised the impact of Krishnaguruji's teachings, saying “Krishnaguru ji embodies the essence of divine grace, illuminating the hearts of his devotees with his teachings of love, service, and humanity.” He further emphasized the teachings of KrishnaGuruji, who encouraged everyone to “think beyond yourself, think for the community, think for the nation.” He highlighted that India is a unique country, “whose geography is dotted by centers of spirituality,” reinforcing the nation’s legacy of compassion, unity, and dedication to the welfare of all.
The Vice-President further highlighted the inherent qualities of spirituality, urging the promotion of values that lead to harmony and justice. He remarked, “Remember, my friends, that spirituality has some inbuilt qualities: love, compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, and a sense of responsibility. As we promote these values, we sow the seeds for a peaceful and just world.
