Lucknow,

Nov 13 (HS): India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday inaugurated the

newly constructed Divya Sanskriti Bhawan at Gulzar Upvan, the

Brahma Kumaris' Rajyoga training center on Sultanpur Road in Lucknow. Speaking

on the occasion, Rajnath Singh said that this building, like the sun, will help

spread the light of spirituality throughout Lucknow and the world.

Addressing

the event, Rajnath Singh said that the Brahma Kumaris have given millions of

people the opportunity to progress toward perfection through spirituality.

Today, this organization has reached nearly 140 countries, teaching humanity

the lessons of peace, balance, and self-respect. He added that the Brahma

Kumaris sisters are leading a campaign against drug addiction. All of you are

furthering nation-building through your work. This work is possible only

through spiritual awareness, a spirit of service, and dedication.

The

Defence Minister said that we need to build a developed India where families

are imbued with values, society with harmony, women are respected, youth are

disciplined, and citizens have a sense of duty to the nation. For us, a

developed India doesn't just mean a $5 trillion economy; our dream is much

broader than that.

Rajnath

Singh said that a country is run not by laws alone but by character. Law can

maintain order, but only good values can create trust and harmony in society.

He added that spiritual development is not just a path to personal liberation,

but also a path to building national character.

Rajnath

Singh said that politics is not just a means to gain power. Politics is a very

sacred thing. It is a medium to give direction to the society and the nation.

Negative feelings arise in the youth on hearing the word politics. Politics

should be linked to spirituality. He said that social interest should be kept

in mind before personal interest. On entering politics, there should be a sense

of responsibility before rights. India has a rich tradition of Rajdharma. The

king should share the joys and sorrows of the people. To connect today's youth

with politics, this approach needs to be re-established. If service, nation

building and character building are visible in politics, then the youth will

join politics.

Rajnath

Singh said that Lucknow is creating a new identity for itself today. It is

moving forward with new possibilities for development. Lucknow is making its

distinctive presence felt in every field—education, culture, defense, security,

industry, and trade—and is emerging in a new role before the country with new

development possibilities.

Rajyogini

BK Radha Didi, Sub-Zone Incharge of Brahma Kumaris Lucknow, stated that the

Navadasaktsav is being celebrated to mark the 90th anniversary of the

establishment of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya and the

completion of 72 years of the organization's spiritual service in Lucknow. The

inauguration of the Divya Sanskriti Bhavan is a significant achievement in this

series.

On

this occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Mayor Sushma Kharwal, Vice

President of Women Commission Aparna Yadav, MLC Mukesh Sharma, MLA OP

Srivastava and BJP Metropolitan President Anand Dwivedi were present.
