Haryana Governor Prof. Ashim Kumar Ghosh said that India’s rich tradition of saints has always guided society towards love, compassion, harmony and humanity. The teachings and philosophy of saints remind us that true spirituality is not confined to worship but is reflected in selfless service to the needy, mutual respect and the welfare of society.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Ghosh said that a Yagya is a sacred expression of India’s ancient cultural heritage and conveys the message of sacrifice, dedication and public welfare. A Bhandara, meanwhile, promotes the values of service, equality and brotherhood, bringing people from all walks of life together and strengthening social harmony.

The Governor emphasized the importance of incorporating the timeless teachings of saints into daily life, particularly in the present times. He said that the younger generation must be connected with moral values and cultural traditions to strengthen the spirit of love, harmony and mutual cooperation in society.
