- The state government is coordinating Indian knowledge tradition and modern education: Chief Minister Shri Sai
- Sant Samaj welcomed the reinstatement of Indian culture and spiritual values in school education.
- Various saints and sages paid a courtesy call on Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai and expressed gratitude for the decision to promote spiritual education.
Dakshin Kaushal Peethadheeshwar Shri Swami Rajiv Lochan Das Ji Maharaj, Shri Mahant Surendra Das Ji Maharaj of Nirvani Akhara, Shri Uday Lal Ji from Shadani Darbar and Shri Devkar Saheb Ji of Kabir Ashram Sonpari paid a courtesy visit to Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai at the Chief Minister’s residence in the capital Raipur. On this occasion, the saints welcomed the decision to re-include traditional shlokas and mantras related to Indian culture, spiritual values and moral education in the schools of Chhattisgarh and expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Sai.
The saints said that in the past, students in schools were introduced to mantras like Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwar, and Indian cultural traditions, which helped inculcate values, discipline, and moral values in children. Over time, these traditions gradually disappeared from the educational environment, but the state government’s initiative to re-establish them is highly welcome. The saint community said that the inclusion of Shantipath, Saraswati Vandana, Bhojan Mantra, and other inspirational Vedic and cultural prayers in schools will play an important role in the overall development of children. This will connect the new generation with Indian knowledge tradition, culture, and moral values.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said that education is not only a means of acquiring knowledge, but also a foundation for developing values, character, and life values. Our government is committed to connecting children with Indian culture, traditions, and spiritual values, along with modern education. The inclusion of Shantipath, Saraswati Vandana, Bhojan Mantra, and other inspirational prayers in schools will develop discipline, positive thinking, self-confidence, and cultural awareness in students. This initiative is an important step towards connecting the new generation to their roots and developing them into cultured, aware, and responsible citizens. Saints and sages congratulated Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai for this initiative, bestowing their blessings on him, and said that this decision is an important step towards strengthening the state’s cultural identity and spiritual heritage.
