PM Modi inaugurates Iskcon Temple in Navi Mumbai
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Sri Sri Radha Mohan Temple, established by ISKCON, in Kharghar on Wednesday. During the event, he emphasised the blend of spirituality and science embodied in the temple’s architecture and expressed gratitude for being part of such a divine ceremony.
Addressing the gathering, PM Modi began with a heartfelt chant of "Hare Krishna… Hare Krishna" and highlighted the significance of ISKCON's efforts on the sacred land of knowledge and devotion.
"The outline and structure of the Radha Mohan Temple reflect the rich traditions of spirituality and science. It is a privilege to contribute to such an extraordinary endeavor," he said.
The temple features various representations of divinity, creating a space for spiritual enlightenment. To appeal to younger generations, the complex includes a museum based on the epics Mahabharata and Ramayana. Additionally, a garden inspired by the 12 forests of Vrindavan has been developed.
"This temple will not only serve as a center of faith but also enrich India’s consciousness," PM Modi remarked.
"ISKCON devotees worldwide are connected by their unwavering devotion to Lord Krishna, guided by a unique spiritual thread that keeps them united—the teachings and philosophy of Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON," said PM in his speech.
"India is not just a piece of land bound by geographical borders. It is a living, vibrant culture and tradition," said PM Modi, highlighting the country’s rich spiritual heritage.
He further stated, "The consciousness of this culture lies in its spirituality. To truly understand India, one must first embrace its spiritual essence. Those who view the world through a materialistic lens may see India as a mere collection of diverse languages and regions. But when one connects with India’s cultural consciousness, its vast and unified form becomes evident."
ISKCON, through its teachings and practices, continues to be a beacon of this cultural and spiritual connection, uniting millions of devotees globally under the shared devotion to Lord Krishna and the timeless values of India’s spiritual traditions.
