Underscoring India’s deep spirituality and ancient civilisation, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday said the country’s foundation lies in Sanatan Dharma.Addressing a gathering on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of spiritual and religious leader Srila Prabhupada here, Dhankhar said India, which has long been a guiding force for the world through its preachings of non-violence, peace and brotherhood, will one day become the Vishwa Guru (world leader).
Emphasising the unifying power of Sanatan Dharma, Dhankhar said, “Sanatan stands for inclusivity, universal values, patriotism and rising above caste, creed and economic divisions.”
Reflecting on India’s heritage, he asserted, “No other country in the world has a 5,000-year-old ‘sanskriti’. India has been the spiritual centre of the world, and we have to carry this momentum forward.”
