President of Indiaಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಿದ ಖಾತೆ

A multifaceted personality and mathematical genius, Prof C.S. Seshadri is known for his exceptional contribution in algebraic geometry. In his passing we have lost an institution builder. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

The world has suffered much this year, and I sincerely wish that this sacred day heralds a new ray of hope and grants a glimpse of happiness. I also pray that it lights the lamp of wisdom in the heart of everyone: President Kovind

Buddha's cure for human suffering remains as relevant today as it was over two and half millennia ago. There is no doubt that the urgency of abiding by the values that the Buddha preached is eternal: President Kovind

In the final phase of his life, the Buddha was acutely conscious of the fact that egotism driven by envy, hatred, greed and ambition would undermine compassion and loving-kindness: President Kovind

Contrast this message with the hankering of an unrepentant mankind indulging in the same old violence & degradation of nature. We all know that the moment the virulence of Coronavirus slows down, we have a far more serious challenge of climate change before us: President Kovind

Today, as the pandemic ravages human lives and economies across the globe, the Buddha’s message serves like a beacon. He advised people to shun greed, hatred, violence, jealousy and many other vices to find happiness: President Kovind

Following in their footsteps, we should strive to hear the call of the Buddha, to respond to his invitation to walk the Noble Path. The world seems full of suffering, in short term as well as in long term: President Kovind

In modern times, two exceptionally great Indians – Mahatma Gandhi and Babasaheb Ambedkar – found inspiration in the words of the Buddha and went on to shape the destiny of the nation: President Kovind

In India, we see Buddhism as a fresh expression of the sublime truth. His enlightenment, and the subsequent preaching by him for over four decades, were in line with India’s tradition of respect for intellectual liberalism and spiritual diversity: President Kovind

India is proud of being the land of the origin of the Dhamma. It was from India that it began to spread in neighbouring regions. There, in new fertile soil and new climate it grew organically, eventually branching off into various offshoots: President Kovind

It is this open attitude of inquiry into the heart of existence and the possibility of finding the key to eternal serenity that has attracted seekers in every age for the last 2,500 years: President Kovind
