  • Spirituality mode to bring in positive change in society: President Murmu

Jaipur, Oct 4 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu on Friday addressed the Global Summit on the theme ‘Spirituality for Clean and Healthy Society’ organised by Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya at Mount Abu.

"Spirituality doesn't mean to be religious but it means to understand the power within and to bring in purity in behaviour and action. One needs to have purity in thoughts as well as in action. A person can become a better person by bringing in a positive approach," she said.

"At a time when moral values are degrading, peace and unity hold a strong significance. New roads will be paved for world peace via this summit. Also, this summit will help in making the world clean and healthy," she stressed and added that humans should not consider themselves as owners of the planet but should consider themselves as trustees of Earth.

“We need to take care of this planet gently,” she added.
