At the Chaturmas festival in Revdar, Shankaracharya Sadanand Saraswati explained Ramrajya, emphasizing dharma, culture, and national duty, and stressed imparting knowledge of Indian culture to the youth.
In this program held under the guidance of Go Rishi Datt Sharananand Ji Maharaj, the Shankaracharya addressed cow devotees from all over the country.
Explaining the context of Ramrajyabhishek, the Jagadguru said that Ramrajya is not just a political authority.
He explained that it is a system based on dharma, righteousness, duty, and public welfare.
Maharaj Shri said that in a nation whose citizens have a sense of religion and duty, the spirit of culture, self-control, and responsibility towards the nation becomes strong.
The Shankaracharya placed special emphasis on imparting knowledge of Indian culture to children and youth.
He said that scriptures like the Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Upanishads show an individual the path of truth, service, sacrifice, self-control, and patriotism.
The Shankaracharya described temples as major centers of Indian culture and values. He stressed the need to protect their religious character.
He called upon the Sanatan society to establish educational institutions where, along with modern education, the Indian knowledge tradition and values are also taught.
