In a world plagued with stress & conflicts, spiritual purity crucial: Prez Murmu

Bhopal: President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday said spiritual purity has become crucial for every segment of society in today’s fast-paced, consumption-driven world to build a sustainable, egalitarian code of conduct and lifestyle sensitive to natural resources.“It is through this foundation that an egalitarian code of conduct and a lifestyle sensitive to natural resources can be built that is sustainable in the long term. In a world currently plagued by stress and conflict, this need is greater than ever before in history,” she said at an event on ‘Empowerment of Tribal Society by Spiritual Awakening’, organised by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya at Betul in Madhya Pradesh.The President, on a five-day MP visit from Thursday, said tribal communities’ lifestyle is naturally aligned with fundamental inspirations of spirituality. “Their deep connection with natural resources is an innate strength that fosters a mindset and lifestyle dedicated to the universal good across every dimension of life,” she said.She noted the Brahma Kumaris institution has long collaborated with tribal communities to carry out vital work across the country with this perspective.

President Murmu said any organisation working in accordance with Indian life-values must remember that empowerment cannot be limited merely to economic development. “True empowerment occurs when an individual works with self-confidence, self-respect, and awareness while remaining conscious of social responsibilities. Spiritual awakening enables individuals to realize inner strengths while connecting them to positive thinking and higher purposes of life,” she said.“A balance between development and traditional values forms the foundation of a strong and prosperous society. Meaningful development draws nourishment from our roots and core values while simultaneously strengthening them,” she added.The President urged all to work together with greater commitment to build a developed India by 2047, where spirituality, social harmony, environmental conservation, and human welfare serve as cornerstones of inclusive development.President Murmu will participate in programmes in Indore, Betul, Omkareshwar in Khandwa district, Jabalpur, Gwalior and Kuno National Park in Sheopur district during her visit.
