‘Bhagavad Gita’ provides solution to inner conflicts: Prez

KURUKSHETRA (HARAYANA): President Ram Nath Kovind today said the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ provides solution to ‘dwandh’ (inner conflicts) that a person faces and asked people to follow its message to remain free from the “ills” of this digital age.

Inaugurating the ‘International Gita Mahotsav’ here today, he said, “What is right and what is wrong, what we should do and what we should not do, that is bothering everyone.”

“The Gita provides solution to a man for his ‘dwandh’ (inner conflict) of what is right and wrong,” Kovind said, adding, “I feel whosoever follows the message of the Gita will remain free from ‘Dwandh’ and will stay calm and be successful in life.”

The president noted that the youth in this digital age is caught between materialism and competition, which was leading to tension and insecurity among them.

He said the Gita can offer a spiritual way out for the youth caught in the vortex of insecurity, tension and confusion.

Kovind gave examples of “daughters of Haryana” like External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, astronaut Kalpana Chawla, Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar and others who brought glory to the State and country at world level, saying it became possible because they followed the message of the Gita.
