Srinagar: The Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh Wednesday said the teachings of seers and saints preaching mutual brotherhood and coexistence are more relevant in Wednesday’s context where material pursuits are overtaking the spiritual pursuits.
The Deputy Chief Minister was speaking at a function organized in connection with the 523rd birth anniversary of Acharya Shri Chander Ji organized by the management of Shri Chander Chinar Bada Akhara Udasin Trust (SCCBAUT), Residency Road here Wednesday.
Dr Singh said the seers and saints have given us the requisite parameters for leading a life full of spirituality. He said the onus lies on us to follow the same and also propagate it among the youth and posterity.
While referring to the State as an abode of mutual coexistence and communal harmony, the Deputy Chief Minister said this part of the sub-continent has throughout the ages been an epitome of spiritualism and coexistence and the teachings of JK’s seers have a universal appeal and acceptance. He said several philosophers and statesman have also referred to Jammu and Kashmir as a model of tolerance, peace and syncretism.
The Deputy Chief Minister prayed for peace and prosperity of the State. He also paid obeisance at the shrine.
