On the 28th of January PM Modi said, “It is a privilege for me to be present at the 1111th incarnation festival of Lord Shri Devnarayan Ji at Bhilwara”.
Today, Modi addresses a function organized to mark the 1111th ‘Avataran Mahotsav’ of Lord Shri Devnarayan ji in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. After performing mandir darshan and parikrama, the Prime Minister planted a neem sapling. Purnahuti was also performed by him in the Vishnu Mahayagya that is currently taking place at Yagya Shala.
The people of Rajasthan worship Bhagwan Shri Devnarayan Ji, and his followers are spread across the length and breadth of the country. He is particularly respected for his work in public service
The Prime Minister expressed happiness at getting the opportunity to address the gathering on the auspicious occasion. Bhagwan Shri Devnarayan Ji is a pilgrim who wishes to seek the blessing of the Prime Minister.
He was grateful to be able to perform the ‘purnahuti’ in the Vishnu Mahayagna that was taking place in the Yagya Shala. The Prime Minister said, “I feel blessed by getting ‘darshan’ of both Devnarayan ji and ‘Janta Janardan’.”
The Prime Minister remarked that, like every other pilgrim who is here, he seeks blessings from Bhagwan Shri Devnarayan Ji for the constant development of the nation and the welfare of the poor.
Highlighting the grand occasion of the 1111th Incarnation Day of Lord Shree Devnarayan, the Prime Minister mentioned the active participation of the Gurjar community in the cultural programs being organized over the past week. He praised the efforts of each and every person in the community and congratulated them on this occasion
Modi said that India is not just a land mass, but an expression of our civilization, culture, harmony, and possibilities. Many other civilizations perished because they could not adapt to changing times, but he talked about the resilience of the Indian civilization.
“No power could finish India,” Shri Modi said, despite many efforts taking place to break India geographically, culturally, socially, and ideologically.
“Laying the foundations for a grand future, the Indian society preserves the immortality of the nation,” the Prime Minister said, crediting the strength and inspiration of the society.
Noting the energy that stems from within the society and acts as a guiding light for everyone, the Prime Minister threw light on the contributions of the strength of the society in the thousand-year-old journey of India.
Bhagwan Shri Devnarayan always gave precedence to service and people’s welfare, said the Prime Minister. Shri Devnarayan’s devotion to the people’s welfare and his choice of service to humanity were recounted by the Prime Minister.
The path of “Sabka Vikas” through “Sabka Saath” shown by Bhagwan Devnarayan is being followed by the country today. “The Prime Minister said,” The country has been trying to empower every section that has remained deprived and neglected for the past 8-9 years. “Precedence to the deprived” is the mantra we are moving with, the Prime Minister said.
Huge uncertainty about the availability and quality of ration for the poor recalls the Prime Minister. “Today,” he said, “every beneficiary is getting full ration and getting it free.”
The Ayushman Bharat scheme has solved the problem of medical treatment. He said that they were also addressing the poor section’s concern about housing, toilet, gas connection, and electricity.
The Prime Minister said that the doors of banks are open for everyone, underlining the financial inclusion that has taken place in recent years.
