Chandigarh, July 27 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said the lives of saints and spiritual leaders serve as a timeless source of inspiration for society.
“Their ideals promote humanity, selfless service, social harmony and nation-building. It is imperative to connect the younger generation with these values so that the spirit of harmony, moral conduct and cultural ethos is further strengthened in society,” he said.
The Chief Minister was addressing the Murti Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the newly constructed Samadhi shrine of Shri Shri 1008 Siddh Baba Khak Nath-ji Maharaj in Ujhana village in Jind district. Mahant Balak Nath, Head of Math Asthal Bohar in Rohtak, attended the ceremony.
Responding to the demands of residents, the Chief Minister announced Rs 1 crore for the construction of a community centre in Ujhana and Rs 51 lakh for other development works in the village.
He also announced that road construction, renovation of the village pond, a permanent solution for water drainage and the introduction of the science stream in the village school would be undertaken as per the villagers’ demands.
CM Saini said the consecration of a great spiritual personality’s idol is not merely a religious ritual but a commitment to establish devotion in one’s life, embrace truth in one’s conduct, cultivate compassion in one’s behaviour and uphold the values of service and social harmony.
He expressed happiness that the sacred Ujhana Math has remained a centre of faith for millions of devotees for nearly 600 years, adding that India’s greatest strength lies in its rich spiritual tradition.
Appreciating the gaushala being managed by the Ujhana Dham, the Chief Minister said that a gaushala is a living symbol of compassion and sensitivity embedded in Indian culture. “In Indian tradition, service to cows is not only a matter of religious faith but also a cultural responsibility.”
The Chief Minister said the culture of protecting and respecting nature and Gau Mata would help India realise its vision of becoming a Vishwa Guru.
