Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Sunday said that the knowledge shared in Bhagavad Gita holds the key to remove all doubts and problems of the world.
To grasp the light of this knowledge, one has to imbibe the teachings of Bhagavad Gita in their lives, said the Chief Minister while speaking after inaugurating the first phase of Gita Museum built at Gita Gyan Sansthanam Centre at a cost of Rs 5 crore in Kurukshetra.
The Chief Minister said that both Central and State Governments are committed towards the development of Kurukshetra and it is the endeavor of the Government to start pilgrimage on the land of 48 Kos of Kurukshetra on the lines of Braj Kos Yatra.
Kurukshetra Development Board is conducting a survey of 134 pilgrimages located in 48 Kos in Kurukshetra land as well as other important pilgrimages. These pilgrimages are being developed by Kurukshetra Development Board. Now, the government will work to increase the budget for the development of 134 pilgrimages, he said.
He said that the Government will construct two big temples of Lord Krishna, including one in Vrindavan at a cost of Rs 800 crore to be built on an area of 65 acres and another in Bangalore at a cost of Rs 700 crore. Along with this, the Haryana government is also spending an amount of Rs 150 crore to make Jyotisar a world-class site. An amount of 100 crore would be spent on Gita Gyan Sansthanam Centre being developed in Kurukshetra, he added.
Manohar Lal said that just like its name, Gita Gyan Sansthanam is constantly preaching the immortal teachings and knowledge of Bhagavad Gita to the entire world. “The spiritual gain of Shrimad Bhagwad Gita is not gained only by listening, reading, memorizing, or understanding, infact one gets the real benefit when the essence of this Holy Scripture is imbibed in one’s life,” said the Chief Minister.
He said that the Holy Scripture Gita has its own spiritual aura and if we remain associated with this then certainly, we would not indulge in any wrongdoings in our lives and will always get inspiration to do good work and hence our life will become pure.
The Chief Minister further said that the Gita Museum and Library will be useful to pacify the thirst of the pilgrims who visit this holy place with the curiosity to imbibe the celestial knowledge of Gita. The Gita Institute has been established as a centre of world-class learning of Gita. This museum and library will prove to be the foundation stone of this study centre, he added.
He also said that the Gita Gyan Sansthanam plays a leading role in International Gita Festival which is held in Kurukshetra. Besides this, by organizing the Gita Mahotsav in Mauritius and Britain, the Gita Gyan Sansthanam is making a significant contribution in promoting the message of Gita abroad as well, he added.
