In a significant move in the promotion of spiritual well-being in the region, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya inaugurated a meditation hall named the 'Pyramid' of Prajapita Bhamakumaris at Phulung in North Guwahati on Sunday.
Speaking at the spiritual event organized by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, Governor Acharya praised the Brahma Kumaris as an institution that goes beyond spiritual awakening to uplift moral values, foster social service, promote scientific education, and raise awareness for the betterment of society. He expressed his deep admiration for the selfless service, dedication, and devotion exhibited by the members of the Brahma Kumaris, adding, "I bow to all the dedicated members of this institution who are working tirelessly for the welfare of humanity." Governor Acharya also spoke on the importance of meditation, stating that it is not about detaching oneself from the material world but about creating a deeper connection with oneself. "Yoga and meditation are the two pillars that bring balance to human life. Yoga is incomplete without meditation," he said. He encouraged everyone to integrate these practices into their daily lives for inner peace and self-awareness.Reflecting on India's rich spiritual heritage, Acharya noted that the country has been a beacon of spiritual awakening for millennia. "India's spiritual tradition has illuminated the path of yoga, meditation, Vedanta, and devotion for the world," he remarked. Acharya cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of India as a global leader in spiritual and cultural values: "Under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, India's Sanatan culture, rooted in truth, compassion, and universal brotherhood, is enlightening the entire world." The Governor also paid his heartfelt tribute to Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Sheela Behen, whose lifelong spiritual service in Assam, especially in the Northeast, has touched many lives.
