Spiritual Leader Morari Bapu Concludes Nine-Day Ram Katha in National Capital
A significant nine-day Ram Katha, led by revered spiritual leader Morari Bapu, drew to a close in New Delhi on Saturday. The event, which commenced on January 17, was held at the prestigious Bharat Mandapam venue and symbolically concluded just a day ahead of Republic Day celebrations.
High-Profile Inauguration and Valedictory Sessions
The spiritual gathering was inaugurated by Vice President CP Radhakrishnan, setting a tone of national importance. Former President Ram Nath Kovind addressed attendees during both the inaugural and valedictory sessions, highlighting the event's prominence in India's cultural and political landscape.
Delhi Chief Minister's Environmental Commitment
In a notable development, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta attended the Katha and made a public commitment to Morari Bapu. She pledged to undertake comprehensive efforts to fully clean the River Yamuna, addressing long-standing environmental concerns in the capital region.
Exploring Sanatana Dharma's Timeless Essence
Titled Manas Sanatana Dharma, the Ram Katha delved deeply into the perennial and inclusive nature of Sanatana Dharma. Over the nine days, Morari Bapu elaborated on this spiritual tradition as one that transcends historical timelines and unites diverse faiths through core values:
- Truth
- Love
- Compassion
- Non-violence
He described it as a unifying force that fosters harmony across religious boundaries.
Warning Against Internal Divisions
Morari Bapu expressed concern about contemporary threats to Sanatana Dharma, cautioning that while external challenges have existed for centuries, the greatest danger now stems from internal divisions. He specifically criticized sects that promote their own deities and propagate false narratives by making unauthorized interpolations into sacred texts, which are then circulated as authentic.
Upholding Authentic Spiritual Authority
The spiritual leader emphasized that such divisive sects might gain support from other gaadis or powerful seats, but they will never receive legitimacy from the Vyas Gaadi. He affirmed that this ancient authority has remained steadfastly aligned with the authentic values, scriptures, and deities of Sanatana Dharma, including:
- Lord Ram
- Lord Krishna
- Lord Shiva
- Goddess Durga
The event served as both a spiritual discourse and a call for unity, blending religious teachings with contemporary environmental and social commitments.
