Jammu, February 15 Amid growing economic and strategic divisions across the globe, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said on Sunday that India's timeless civilizational wisdom offers a unifying vision rooted in peace, harmony, and collective well-being.
He urged the people to harness their power for societal transformation and create a blueprint for a prosperous India that will light the world's path.
The Lt Governor was speaking at a commemorative event marking the 508th Nirvan Diwas of Sant Kabir, organized by the Shiromani Sant Kabir Bhavan at Chak Avtara Bishnah near here.
"India's greatest strength lies in its ability to master technology and tradition, microchips and mantras. Our ancient roots and modern tools, combined with the timeless values of ancient sages, provide the perfect blueprint for success and prosperity in the 21st century," Sinha said.
"India is stepping forward to guide the world towards peace and prosperity through its great tradition and timeless values," he said.
He emphasized that India's timeless mantra "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" – "the world is one family" – holds unprecedented relevance today.
"As global divisions deepen in economic and strategic realms, India's timeless wisdom offers a vision where unity, peace, and joy become a universal way of life. In the face of civilizational threats, the world will turn to India for guidance," Sinha said.
The Lt Governor also called upon all sections of society to fulfill their shared duty to eliminate economic disparities and social divisions and to embrace inclusion and constitutional values for true harmony.
Responding to these demands, he reiterated the Centre's commitment to resolving the issues of reservation in promotion and a gazetted holiday on Sant Kabir Jayanti in J-K.
