Jammu, Feb 12: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday called upon the people to celebrate India’s grand renaissance. He said for thousands of years, the sacred land of India has journeyed toward spiritual excellence, with our saints and great souls reaching the pinnacle of consciousness.
“In near future, India alone will guide the world towards the right path. The society, especially the youth should also recognize and harness its spiritual fire alongside its technological & scientific prowess to surpass other nations in developmental journey,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor was speaking at the Dyar Daham celebrations, part of Mahashivratri Festivities, at Mata Bhadrakali Asthapan in Thalwal, Jammu. He paid obeisance to Maa Shakti and Lord Shiva, and offered his prayers for peace and prosperity to bless everyone.
The Lieutenant Governor observed that India has always placed the pursuit of truth above all else.
“Our ancient culture has long championed peace, global brotherhood, the erasure of social divides, mutual love among all, and steadfast adherence to dharma.
In today’s world, where nations race ahead with one technological marvel after another, we must connect hearts just as deeply,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that India is sparking two revolutions at once – “The outer one empowers infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and the digital economy. The inner one transforms consciousness, values, and a global vision for society”.
“We are not just conquering quantum computing; we are awakening a quantum consciousness in daily life. This dual revolution will make India not merely prosperous, but a balanced superpower,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that India’s strength lies not just in its human resources, innovations, startups, science and space tech but also in inner spiritual flame, ignited for millennia through wisdom and meditation.
“India’s ancient wisdom proves spirituality and scientific discovery aren’t foes but allies. For India, science labs and ashrams aren’t rivals; they are twin milestones on the same path.
Our rishis and sages were the original scientists, excelling in both realms. The world now acknowledges that India gifted humanity knowledge and spirituality, paving the way for modern progress,” the Lieutenant Governor further said.
On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor laid the foundation stone for the cultural heritage centre at Mata Bhadrakali Asthapan. He also commended the NHPC for undertaking the works worth Rs 6.60 cr for infrastructure development at Thalwal including community facility enhancement, development of ghat, parking, yagya shala, protection and compound wall, fencing and installation of gate.
Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary, Chandraker Bharti, Principal Secretary Home; Ramesh Kumar, Divisional Commissioner Jammu; Shiv Kumar Sharma, DIG Jammu-Samba-Kathua Range; Dileep ji Pandita, President, Mata Bhadrakali Asthapan Trust Thalwal; Ram Swaroop, Executive Director, NHPC, Regional Office Jammu; Dr Rakesh Minhas, Deputy Commissioner Jammu; Dr Arvind Karwani, Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner; senior officials, members of Mata Bhadrakali Asthapan Trust and people from different walks of life also joined the celebrations.
