Performing duty in the teachings of Shri Krishna
The Chief Minister said that apart from Geeta, the Prime Minister has also worked to spread Yoga all over the world. Due to his efforts, International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on 21st June. He said that in the present time there are many challenges like stress, anger and uncertainty, to deal with which Geeta inspires us to maintain equanimity in every ups and downs of life. He said that a person who recites Geeta daily rises above lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego. Every verse of Geeta is a lamp of knowledge and every chapter is a guide to life.
He said that the advice of Karmanyevadhikaraste given by Lord Krishna leads a person on the path of performing his duty and establishes discipline and balance in the society. If every person of the society implements this principle in his life, then discipline, harmony and balance will automatically be established in the society.
Geeta’s message is a source of inspiration for humanity
Naib Singh Saini said that every verse of Geeta gives us new inspiration to live life. Geeta is not only a dialogue between Arjun and Lord Krishna, it answers all our questions. According to mythological beliefs, in any house where Geeta is recited regularly, no negative energy of any kind can ever come there. Geeta teaches us that happiness-sorrow, success-failure, profit-loss are part of life. We should maintain equanimity without getting distracted by these. If every person implements this education in his life, then mutual conflict and tension will reduce.
He said that the message of Gita is timeless—it is a source of inspiration not just for India, but for all of humanity. If every person in the society adopts the teachings of Geeta, then evils, inequalities and conflicts will automatically end and an ideal society will be established. By adopting this message of Geeta, we can establish better relations with each other and bring harmony in the society. The Chief Minister made the attendees resolve to understand the knowledge of Geeta and adopt it in their lives and spread it to others.
