Reflecting on the spiritual significance of Sri Ramakrishna, the Prime Minister highlighted the mystic’s deep connection with the divine, particularly his devotion to Maa Kali.
“Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa was a saint who witnessed Maa Kali’s divine presence. He dedicated his entire life to the feet of Maa Kali. He often said that Maa Kaali’s consciousness pervades the entire world. This very consciousness is reflected in Bengal’s Kali Puja, and it is visible in the faith of the entire country,” said the Prime Minister.
PM Modi highlighted how the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa inspired and shaped influential leaders such as Swami Vivekananda.
“This consciousness and strength were exemplified by great people like Swami Vivekananda, who drew inspiration from Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa. I pay my respects at the feet of Guru Ramakrishna Paramhansa,” the Prime Minister further asserted.
