Power of collectivity will take India to new heights, says PM

Varanasi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his message sent on the occasion of Ravidas Jayanti said, “The mantra - Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas - with which we are moving forward encapsulates the sense of Sant Ravidasji’s timeless thoughts based on justice, equality and service.” During his meeting with Shri Guru Ravidas Janmasthal Charitable trust’s chairman and head of All India Ravidassiya Dharm Sant Niranjan Das at Ravidas temple after bowing head before Sant Ravidas at his birthplace temple on Sunday Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath read out PM’s message sent to him on the auspicious occasion. PM’s message read, “Millions of salutations to Sant Ravidas ji on his 646th birth anniversary, on behalf of all the countrymen! I am extremely happy to know about the program being organized on this occasion. The expansion of Sant Ravidasji’s thoughts is limitless. His philosophy and thoughts are always relevant. He envisioned a society where there is no discrimination of any kind. He was striving for social reform and harmony throughout his life. He used to say- Aisa chahun raj main, jahan mile sabhann ko ann, chhot bado sab saman base, Ravidas rahe prasann (I want such a rule, where everyone gets food, big and small, everyone is equal and Ravidas remains happy).” For positive change in the society Sant Ravidas ji emphasized on the feeling of harmony and brotherhood. The mantra with which we are moving forward is Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas, which encapsulates the sense of Sant Ravidas ji's timeless thoughts based on justice, equality and service. Taking inspiration from the values of Saint Ravidas ji in the Amrit Kaal of independence, we are moving fast in the direction of building a strong, inclusive and grand nation. By following the path shown by him with the power of collectivity, we will definitely take India to new heights in the 21st century, said the PM in his message.
