Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta highlighted that Ram Katha serves as more than a historical account, offering moral direction for the future and a plea for global harmony. Gupta stressed that amidst current global challenges like war and distrust, Lord Shri Ram’s principles of character, compassion, and moral courage exemplify genuine leadership. The ongoing Ram Katha event at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, running until January 25 at 10 a.m. daily, aims to promote these timeless values.
The Speaker underscored that Lord Shri Ram’s life lessons emphasize the importance of service over power, strength in sacrifice, and the essence of moral courage over mere rituals. Organized under Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati, led by Acharya Lokesh Muni, the event is part of the World Peace Centre Mission, with renowned spiritual leader Morari Bapu delivering the discourse. Former President Ram Nath Kovind chairs the Organizing Committee.
Gupta noted the historical significance of Ram Katha in promoting moral values, brotherhood, and humanity, deeply ingrained in India’s cultural and spiritual ethos. He praised Morari Bapu for spreading the message of humanity through his Ram Katha sessions worldwide, aligning with the mission of the World Peace Centre. The event’s dedication to the Centre’s mission reflects a deliberate commitment to societal welfare on a global scale.
The Speaker highlighted the World Peace Centre’s role as a moral and spiritual platform capable of addressing global conflicts through dialogue and compassion. Acknowledging Acharya Lokesh Muni’s efforts in revitalizing Jain tradition’s principle of non-violence, Gupta emphasized the synergy between Jain philosophy and Lord Shri Ram’s compassionate teachings as a pathway to global peace. He stressed the collective responsibility needed to realize this vision for peace and underscored the intertwining of spirituality and peace-building in India’s heritage.
