Jaipur, Oct. 27 -- Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Monday said that Rajasthan's double-engine government was committed to develop key pilgrimage sites associated with temples, saints and folk deities, alongside building panoramas to showcase the state's spiritual and cultural heritage. Addressing the 90th foundation day celebrations of the Brahma Kumaris' Shantivan complex at Abu Road in Sirohi district, Sharma said 290 million saplings were planted in Rajasthan under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign and that the government had introduced a bill to protect 29 tree species, including the khejri. The government was also working for the welfare of cattle and cattle rearers, he added. The chief minister said India's cultural ethos, rooted in the principle of Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (may all be happy), extended to the welfare of all living beings and the natural environment. Rivers such as the Ganga and Yamuna, mountains and trees such as khejri and peepal held a revered place in Indian tradition, he said, stressing the need to preserve this relationship with nature. Sharma also highlighted the role of the Brahma Kumaris in promoting world peace and well-being through Rajyoga meditation. He said International Yoga Day, initiated under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, had helped give India's yoga tradition global recognition. Referring to India's G20 presidency, he said the country had conveyed the message of "One Earth, One Family, One Future" to the world. Developments at religious sites, including Ayodhya, Somnath, Kashi and Mahakal Lok, had also given fresh impetus to cultural consciousness, he said. The chief minister said the state government was coordinating with the Centre on developing an airstrip at Abu Road to improve connectivity. Better connectivity would boost tourism and other economic activities in the region, he added. BJP's national president and Rajya Sabha MP Nitin Nabin, who also addressed the Navdashakotsav and Global Summit marking the institution's 90th foundation year, described its nine-decade spiritual journey as an inspiring example of service, meditation, peace and universal brotherhood. The Brahma Kumaris were founded in 1936 in erstwhile Sindh, now in Pakistan. Referring to the summit's theme, "From Awakening to Action", Nabin said spiritual awareness became meaningful only when translated into action and positive social change. Selfless service, dedication and cooperation should become a way of life rather than remain limited to organised programmes, he said, urging people to work for society and the nation with a sense of collective responsibility. He praised the institution's contribution to establishing the Abu Road region as a centre of yoga, meditation and spiritual awareness. He also highlighted the role of women in the institution's leadership, saying women could help provide a new direction to society and the nation in line with the PM's vision of women-led development. Nabin called for wider public participation in the anti-drug campaign and said keeping young people away from substance abuse was essential to securing the country's future. He expressed confidence that joint efforts by the government and the Brahma Kumaris would help spread the message of a drug-free society. He also called on citizens to make Prime Minister Modi's vision of a developed India by 2047 a shared national commitment involving all 1.4 billion Indians. Nation-building was not the responsibility of governments alone but a duty shared by every citizen, he said. Nabin urged people to promote value-based education, serve communities selflessly and adopt environmentally responsible practices. He hailed the institution's commitments during its 90th foundation year, including planting 9 million trees, organising blood donation drives involving over 100,000 donors and holding spiritual gatherings in 90 major cities, as steps to strengthen social cooperation and environmental responsibility....
