At a significant gathering in New Delhi on Friday, President Droupadi Murmu kicked off the All India Conference and the Brahma Kumaris’ ambitious ‘Karmayoga for Empowered India’ initiative. She also launched the 25th anniversary festivities of the Om Shanti Retreat Centre in Gurugram.
Delivering a compelling vision for India’s future, the President argued that economic and technological strides alone fall short. Holistic growth hinges on blending these with ethics and spirituality.
Economic prosperity undeniably uplifts lives, and tech innovations sharpen competitiveness. However, the dark side emerges without morality: centralized riches, ecological harm, and marginalized exploitation.
President Murmu painted a stark picture: ‘Technology without ethics becomes a tool of destruction.’ Spirituality, she said, counters this by instilling core values that propel selfless action—karmayoga.
It nurtures honesty, empathy, non-violence, and selfless service, forming the blueprint for harmonious societies. Spiritually guided minds prioritize universal welfare over personal gain.
In governance, this translates to equitable policies benefiting all, fostering trust and enduring stability.
Spotlighting Brahma Kumaris’ Rajyoga, she explained its essence: not mere introspection, but duty-bound living aligned with divine principles. Lakhs practice this daily, enriching their lives.
The President envisioned a karmayoga-driven India where citizens fuel comprehensive development. Economically strong yet ethically sound, the nation would inspire the world with its value-centric model.
