LUCKNOW: Emphasizing that spiritual awakening through meditation is essential for creating a peaceful world, President Droupadi Murmu expressed that the relevance of India’s ancient message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world is one family—in today’s challenging times, holds the key to addressing contemporary global challenges.
She was in Lucknow to take part in the inauguration ceremony of year-long Brahma Kumaris campaign titled “Meditation for World Unity and Trust” on Friday
The President expressed confidence that the campaign would significantly contribute to realizing this ancient ideal in modern times. She congratulated the Brahma Kumaris organization for their initiative while highlighting the government's parallel efforts to build a value-based society through International Yoga Day.
President Murmu noted that despite unprecedented technological progress, society faces increasing stress, mental insecurity, and loneliness. "It is essential that we begin a journey not only of moving forward but also of looking within ourselves," she stated.
The President elaborated on the connection between individual peace and global harmony, stating that enduring trust requires a peaceful mind, clean thoughts, and pure feelings.
"When we pause and communicate with ourselves, we experience that peace and joy are not external but within us," she observed, adding that awakened spiritual consciousness naturally brings love, compassion, and unity into daily life.
President Murmu described a peaceful mind as the fundamental building block for world peace, noting that collective inner stability creates the foundation for global unity. She praised the Brahma Kumaris for their extensive work in spiritual awakening and value-based education, particularly appreciating their reach from villages to cities worldwide.
