Ram Madhav, BJP General Secretary and Board Member of India Foundation delivered the first Pujya Swami Dayanand Saraswati Memorial Lecture organized by Indic Academy and Coimbatore Committee of Hosts in Coimbatore. During the lecture on ‘Transcending Dualities – In Search of Oneness’, he commended the services of Swami Dayanand Saraswati to the nation and called him as ‘Rajya Rishi’ as he does not belong to one region or a sect.
Mohan Shankar of Coimbatore Committee of Hosts welcomed. Hari Kiran, founder of Indic Academy gave inputs for the lecture. Swami Sadatmanandaji, Resident Acharya, Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, Anaikatti Coimbatore participated in the event.
Sri Ram Madhav explained that Hindu Dharma is based on the innate oneness among the diverse cultures of people of different regions of Bharath. He stressed that Hindu Dharma accommodates plurality. Swami Dayananda Saraswati created awareness of Hindu Dharma; though he was a saint he always had the well being of the nation and its population in mind.
He preached the importance of Hinduism as a way of life applicable worldwide.
While ancient civilizations such as Greek, Roman and Persian have disappeared, the Hindu Dharma survived the onslaught of other semetic religions and flourishes for thousands of years due to the innate nature of oneness among the people and focus on Dharma.
Prime Minister Modi is a follower of Dayananda Saraswati and accepted him as his Guru. Like Swami, the Prime Minister also focuses on the well being of the country. He works 24×7 for the country. And we should be proud of having such a great leader as the Prime Minister of Bharath.
Sri Ram Madhav recollected his association with the Swami and his contribution to the nation building as a Rajya Rishi. Swathy Rohit delivered a vote of thanks on behalf of the Committee of Hosts.
