Gita a spiritual getaway for confused youth: Prez

CHANDIGARH, Nov 27:
President Ram Nath Kovind has said Gita can offer a spiritual way-out for the youth, caught in a vortex of insecurity, tension and confusion.
Speaking after inaugurating the three-day  international seminar on Gita organised during the International Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra on Saturday, Mr Kovind said the message of Gita is eternal, which transcends barriers of age and time.  The holy message of Gita is above time and country, he added.
He said people should celebrate Gita Mahotsav everyday in their mind as well as their homes.  This international Gita Mahotsav is a celebration of moral, spiritual and cultural renaissance, not only for Haryana and the country, but for the entire humanity, he added.
While congratulating Chief Minister Manohar Lal and his entire Cabinet for making Gita jayanti an international event, Mr Kovind said he himself belongs to the land of Sri Krishna, thus he had immediately confirmed to participate in the Mahotsav, when the Chief Minister invited him in the first week of August, this year.  The three-day event concluded with much fanfare on Monday.
