occasion of Holi, the great festival of joy and intimacy, I participated in a
cultural event organized under the auspices of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh,
Gorakhpur Metropolitan, on the occasion of the grand, colorful procession of
Lord Shri Narasimha Ji. The divine incarnation of Lord Narasimha Ji reminds us
that a devotee's faith never goes in vain. His manifest grace conveys the
eternal message of the victory of righteousness over unrighteousness. It is my
prayer that, through the grace of Lord Shri Narasimha Ji, courage, balance,
prosperity, and positive energy always shine in your lives.”

to strengthen India, connect with the concept of 'Developed India', make the

soul of India... We are celebrating this festival of Holi in India at a time
when there is an atmosphere of chaos, unrest and anarchy in the entire world,
but, under illustrious leadership of PM Modi, India is enjoying the festival
with joy, enthusiasm and excitement. In the centenary celebrations of Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh, we are joining the holy festival of equality and harmony,
Holi.”
