 India’s ancient Gurukul system of education upholding the nation’s spiritual values is ‘Plus One’: Narendra Modi 

Ahmedabad, Friday: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today described the ancient residential Gurukul system of education as ‘Plus One’. It upholds the nation’s spiritual values in which the disciples acquire knowledge under the direct tutelage of the guru.

Mr. Modi said he had begun his march of public life as first term as the Chief Minister in 2001 after seeking the blessings of the Narmada. He felt a divine peace in the august presence of saints as he sought their blessings to be able to continue to serve the people. He was also profusely felicitated on this occasion by the saints

Mr. Modi said that he owed his success at the battle of ballots with a hat-trick to the blessings of the saints and good wishes of six-crore people of Gujarat, imbibing the rich spiritual culture. He said that although spiritualism is for self-atonement and social service for the humanity, there is no conflict between the two.

He invited the disciples of Swaminarayan sect, attending the function from different parts of India and abroad, to attend the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit at the majestic Mahatma Mandir premises at Gandhinagar and Rann Utsav in Kutch.
