PM greets Nation on Janmashtami

The Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee has greeted the nation on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami.

In a message, Shri Vajpayee said that the festival of Janmashtami symbolises the divine richness of ‘Karmyoga’, the way to attain spiritual heights through a ceaseless effort to achieve excellence in one’s work. Lord Krishna’s universal message, as given to us through the Bhagwat Gita, has guided us through centuries to stand firm in the fight for truth and justice against all odds. ~On this festive day, let us re-dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of peace, cooperation and mutual goodwill among all sections of our diverse society~, Shri Vajpayee added.
