In a public rally in Hyderabad on Friday amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a poignant message that resonated deeply with the ethos of India. His articulation of the "Idea of India" encapsulated the essence of our nation's rich cultural heritage, diversity, and inclusive values. Amidst the backdrop of political rhetoric, PM Modi's vision transcends partisan lines, offering a blueprint for a united and prosperous India.
At the heart of PM Modi's Idea of India lies a profound reverence for our ancient culture and values. He emphasized that the celebration of events like the Ram temple and Ram Navami is not merely a religious ritual but a testament to the enduring legacy of Lord Ram, who embodies the ideals of truth, righteousness, and compassion.
"They say that celebrating Ram temple and Ram Navami is wrong. They say that worship of Lord Ram is against the Idea of India. Congress, which has always looked at India through a foreign lens, has no idea of the Idea of India. After all what is…Idea of India…." said PM Modi in Hyderabad.
PM Modi's Idea of India is grounded in the principle of "Satyamev Jayate" – truth alone triumphs. In a world plagued by misinformation and division, he champions the pursuit of truth as the cornerstone of a just and equitable society. Moreover, he advocates for non-violence as the supreme religion, echoing the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and the timeless wisdom of our spiritual traditions.
"Idea of India…is a reflection of India's thousands of years old culture. Idea of India means...Satyamev Jayate Idea of India…Ahimsa Parmo Dharam. Idea of India…Aacharah Parmo Dharmah. Idea of India…Na Hi Satyat Paro Dharma. Idea of India…Ekam Sat Vipra, Bahudha Vadanti," the PM added.
Central to PM Modi's vision is the concept of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" – the world is one family. He envisions India as a beacon of unity and compassion, extending a hand of friendship to nations across the globe.
"Idea of India...Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Idea of India...Sarva Panth Equality. Idea of India...May you be Deepo Bhava. Idea of India... Buddham Sharanam Gachchami. Idea of India... Sarve Bhadraani Pashyantu, Ma Kashchid Dukh Bhag Bhavet. Idea of India... Philanthropic Satan Vibhutay. Idea of India: Service to people is service to God. Idea of India...Ishwar: Sarvabhootanaan. Idea of India...Samaana amidst all the light. Idea of India…God Is Great. Idea of India... Narayan in man, Shiva in creature! Idea of India…or Devi Sarvabhuteshu Matri-like institution. Idea of India Woman, you are Narayani. Idea of India…Ma Vidvishavhai. Idea Of India....Michhami Dukkadam," PM Modi further articulated.
PM Modi further added, "Idea of India..."Even the golden Lanka does not please me, Lakshman. Mother and birthplace are greater than heaven. I also don't like the golden Lanka. Mother and motherland are greater than heaven". These were the words of Lord Shri Ram only...This Idea of India today is not limited to mere beliefs. This Idea of India is the identity of India today. This Idea of India is the voice of India today."
"And that's why...Today Idea of India is International Yoga Day. Idea of India is vision of One Earth, One Family, One Future. Idea of India is the idea of one sun one earth one grid for the world. Idea of India...Shivshakti Point on the Moon. Idea Of India...Mother of Democracy. Idea of India...Justice to all, appeasement to none. Congress is calling the worship of Lord Ram from whom we get this inspiration, against the Idea of India," he concluded.
