Ujjain (MP), Oct 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that India is restoring its glory and prosperity and the whole world and humanity will benefit from this.
Addressing a public function after dedicating Phase I of the Mahakaal Lok Project to the nation, and performing pooja and aarti at the inner sanctum of the Mahakaal temple at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, the Prime Minister said India has remained immortal for thousands of years due to its spiritual confidence.
He said in order to reach the pinnacle of success, it is necessary that the nation touches its cultural heights and stands proudly with its identity.
Remarking on the losses incurred during the years of slavery, the Prime Minister said, “India is reclaiming its glory by renovating the places of its pride, honour and legacy.”
PM said the cultural philosophy of India is once again reaching the summit and getting ready to guide the world.
“New India of today is moving forward with its ancient values while also reviving the tradition of science and research along with faith. Religion for India means collective determination of our duties,” he said.
The Prime Minister was felicitated upon his arrival. This was followed by Stuti Gaan of Shri Mahakaal by renowned singer Kailash Kher and a light, sound and fragrance show.
The Prime Minister began his address by hailing Lord Mahakal and said, “ Jai Mahakaal! This energy of Ujjain, this enthusiasm! This aura of Avantika, this wonderfulness, this bliss! This glory of Mahakal, this greatness! There is nothing worldly in ‘Mahakaal Lok’. There is nothing ordinary in the company of Shankar. Everything is supernatural and extraordinary. It is unforgettable and unbelievable.”
The Prime Minister said that if one receives the blessings of Mahakaal, then the existence of Kaal (time) ceases, the boundaries of time dissolve, and the journey from nothingness to infinity begins.
The Prime Minister said that Ujjain has not only been the centre of India according to astrological calculation but it has been the centre of India’s soul too.
Ujjain is a city that is counted among the seven sacred puris and a place where Lord Krishna himself came for education. Ujjain has seen the splendour of King Vikramaditya and the beginning of India’s golden age.
The Prime Minister remarked that Ujjain has gathered history in itself.
“Every particle of Ujjain is engulfed in spirituality, and it transmits ethereal energy in every nook and corner. Ujjain has led India’s wealth and prosperity, knowledge and dignity, civilization and literature for thousands of years,” he said.
“The cultural splendour of a nation is so vast only when the flag of its success is fluttering on the world stage. And, to reach the pinnacle of success, it is also necessary that the nation touches its cultural excellence, and stands proudly with its identity.
“That is why in the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal, India has called for Panch Prans like “freedom from the mentality of slavery” and “pride in our heritage”, he added. (ANI)
