Acharya highlighted that while a blend of tradition and modernity forms India’s body, spirituality remains its soul. He stressed that Krishnaguru Sevashram, established in 1974, continues to play a vital role in preserving and promoting human values through various socio-educational initiatives. He also hailed the institution’s role in enhancing the skills of artisans in the traditional bell metal industry, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Vocal for Local’ campaign.
The Governor further stated that under the guidance of Krishnaguru Premanand Prabhu, the Youth Society has emerged as a beacon of public service, engaging thousands of young people in welfare activities. He emphasised the crucial role of youth in nation-building, stating, “Our India is a young country, and only the youth have the ability to take it forward in its pursuit of becoming Vishwaguru.” He also urged the youth to carry forward the message of ‘Nation First’.
The Governor also acknowledged Prabhu Ishwar Krishnaguru’s extraordinary spiritual insight and his message of world peace and universal brotherhood, which continues to inspire and attract people worldwide.
