Haryana: The great and valiant men of India have sacrificed their lives to protect this nation. Today, it is everyone’s responsibility to take initiative in doing whatever good they can for the country. One should not think that only those in power are responsible for running the nation; instead, every citizen must realize, “I am a part of this country, and I can contribute to it.” Youth must adopt an addiction-free lifestyle and participate actively in nation-building. Whenever the nation needs you, make a firm resolution to prioritize the country above all else without hesitation. Only then will our country not only be free from addiction but will also carry forward our Indian culture.

These were the inspiring words of His Holiness Padmashree Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji, Pithadhishwar of Shri Datta Padmanabh Peeth, delivered during a special event on ‘Yuva Nasha Mukti – Rashtra Nirman’ organized by the Vishva Parmarth Foundation in Panchkula, Haryana under the presidency of Shri Shri 108 Taponishta Sampurnanand Brahmachari Ji, Secretary General of Agni Akhada.

When the nation progresses, it will once again be recognized as a Vishwaguru (World Leader). Swamiji urged everyone to help those around them who may be trapped in addiction and guide them towards recovery. He encouraged the youth to replace harmful addictions with the noble addiction of patriotism.
