Q: What is your message for our citizen. How can we strengthen our country.
Guruji : India is home to seven important and unique traditions.
The first is Yoga and spirituality. India is the origin of Yoga, meditation and great spiritual knowledge.
The second is Ayurveda. Today all over the world, Ayurveda is being hailed as the medicine of the 22nd century. There are many beneficial and powerful medicines and techniques in Ayurveda, which not only protect your health, but also give a lot of strength to the body. Ayurveda is the science of overcoming the disease even before it arises to affect your body.
The third is the Indian Food. We have such a great diversity of dishes in our country. We decided to showcase this diversity in Ahmedabad. We had an event called Annambrahmam in which 5700 different kinds of vegetarian dishes were made, using seven tonnes of cereal and food grains. The dishes were prepared in 265 kitchens and the food was distributed to 30,000 poor children on the occasion of Diwali. People today are completely unaware of the great food diversity of our country. We have become accustomed to fast food today, like pizza, etc. Do you know how the Pizza was born? In Italy, they made the pizza by using all the left over dough and vegetables. People in Italy after finishing their meals used to give pizza as food to the laborers. Food that was left over from the night meals was fermented a little, and then used with dough made from white flour to make Pizza. Unfortunately, a lot of people have Pizza as part of their main diet today in India. We must promote our Indian cuisine and encourage it.
The fourth area of excellence for India is its Information Technology (IT) .
The next is Indian dance and music. We have so many types of dance in our country.
We have such beauty and diversity in the ornaments that are used for dressing and decoration.
Then we have Indian tourism. India has so many wonderful tourist and heritage places.
Unfortunately we have not worked well in these seven areas. This is why there is poverty and lack of development in India. If we pay proper attention to these seven areas alone, India will surely rise and progress.
I always say that love for the country and love for the Divine are two sides of the same coin. If someone says that I love God whole heartedly but I do not love this Creation, this Earth, then that would be a false thing to say. This is like saying that you love the gardener (God) but not His garden.
If someone truly loves the gardener (God), then wouldn’t he also love his garden? We must not forget this.
You all must become Volunteers for a Better India. Devote one hour daily for the country. You can keep the remaining 23 hours for yourself, but one hour everyday you should be dedicated for the country.
If we all do this together, you will see how much we can do to make India shine with glory and pride. I definitely believe we can do this.
