Ramcharitmanas is meant for welfare of every living being: Morari Bapu

Staff Reporter :

“RAMCHARITMANAS is an universal spiritual epic which is meant for welfare and development of every living being. Ramkatha belongs to the person who reads it and character of Lord Ram cannot be portrayed in a frame. Ramayana is for all and for welfare of everyone without any religious and communal differences,” said senior saint Morari Bapu. He was addressing the concluding ceremony of 2nd World Ramayana Conference at MLB Ground on Wednesday.

Addressing the programme, Morari Bapu applauded organisation of 2nd World Ramayana Conference to spread the message of Ramayana and educating the masses. He also appreciated efforts of the State Government in exploring Rampath and organising Narmada Kumbh. He said that Ramayana is the best means for politicians to maintain their dominance and its study should be compulsory for public representatives. He said that Ramcharitmanas and Narmada river are favourites of Lord Shiva and Sanskardhani is the witness of this rare fortune. Speaking on the occasion, State Finance Minister Tarun Bhanot expressed gratitude towards Morari Bapu for his blessings to the residents and invited him for Narmada Kumbh to be organised in the city.
