परसो श्री कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी थी और आज हम श्रील प्रभुपाद जी की 125वीं जन्मजयंती मना रहे हैं।
ये ऐसा है जैसे साधना का सुख और संतोष एक साथ मिल जाए।
इसी भाव को आज पूरी दुनिया में श्रील प्रभुपाद स्वामी के लाखों करोड़ों अनुयाई और लाखों करोड़ों कृष्ण भक्त अनुभव कर रहे हैं: PM— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
हम सब जानते हैं कि प्रभुपाद स्वामी एक अलौकिक कृष्णभक्त तो थे ही, साथ ही वो एक महान भारत भक्त भी थे।
उन्होंने देश के स्वतन्त्रता संग्राम में संघर्ष किया था।
उन्होंने असहयोग आंदोलन के समर्थन में स्कॉटिश कॉलेज से अपना डिप्लोमा तक लेने से मना कर दिया था: PM— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
मानवता के हित में भारत दुनिया को कितना कुछ दे सकता है, आज इसका एक बड़ा उदाहरण है विश्व भर में फैला हुआ हमारा योग का ज्ञान!
भारत की जो sustainable lifestyle है, आयुर्वेद जैसे जो विज्ञान हैं, हमारा संकल्प है कि इसका लाभ पूरी दुनिया को मिले: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
हम जब भी किसी दूसरे देश में जाते हैं, और वहाँ जब लोग ‘हरे कृष्ण’ बोलकर मिलते हैं तो हमें कितना अपनापन लगता है, कितना गौरव भी होता है।
कल्पना करिए, यही अपनापन जब हमें मेक इन इंडिया products के लिए मिलेगा, तो हमें कैसा लगेगा: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021

आज विद्वान इस बात का आकलन करते हैं कि अगर भक्तिकाल की सामाजिक क्रांति न होती तो भारत न जाने कहाँ होता, किस स्वरूप में होता!
लेकिन उस कठिन समय में चैतन्य महाप्रभु जैसे संतों ने हमारे समाज को भक्ति की भावना से बांधा, उन्होने ‘विश्वास से आत्मविश्वास’ का मंत्र दिया: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
एक समय अगर स्वामी विवेकानंद जैसे मनीषी आए जिन्होंने वेद-वेदान्त को पश्चिम तक पहुंचाया, तो वहीं विश्व को जब भक्तियोग को देने की ज़िम्मेदारी आई तो श्रील प्रभुपाद जी और इस्कॉन ने इस महान कार्य का बीड़ा उठाया।
उन्होंने भक्ति वेदान्त को दुनिया की चेतना से जोड़ने का काम किया: PM— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
आज दुनिया के अलग अलग देशों में सैकड़ों इस्कॉन मंदिर हैं, कितने ही गुरुकुल भारतीय संस्कृति को जीवंत बनाए हुये हैं।
इस्कॉन ने दुनिया को बताया है कि भारत के लिए आस्था का मतलब है- उमंग, उत्साह, और उल्लास और मानवता पर विश्वास: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) September 1, 2021
