He further added that the life and teachings of the sage Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi are a fountain of wisdom that will continue to light humanity's path for eternity and would forever illuminate the path of humanity.
"The life and teachings of the sage Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi are a fountain of wisdom that will continue to light humanity's path for eternity. Today, visited the sacred place Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. May the blessings of the great saint fill everyone's life with well-being and prosperity," he said.
Meanwhile, in Mumbai, Shah launched the Security Operations Centre for Urban Cooperative Banks and core banking and allied services under the nationwide service bundle. On the occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding was exchanged between National Urban Cooperative Finance and Development Corporation (NUCFDC) and the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU).

Good to see the Home Minister visiting Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. The temple visit and the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' rally will definitely boost patriotic fervor among the people. But I hope the government also focuses on development and infrastructure in the region.
The President's Police Colour is a prestigious award. It's nice to see the central government honoring the police forces in the union territories. The timing with the Independence Day celebrations adds to the significance.
The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' initiative is a beautiful way to connect citizens with the spirit of independence. I'm glad the Home Minister is personally flagging off the rally in Puducherry. Also, the cooperative banks security centre launch in Mumbai shows the government's focus on financial security.
Happy to see the Union Home Minister performing pooja at the Arunachaleswarar Temple and visiting Sri Ramanasramam. These places have deep spiritual significance. I hope the government also pays attention to the needs of the local communities in these areas.
It's great that the Urban Cooperative Banks finally have an umbrella organization. This will help them compete with commercial banks and improve their services. Good move, Amit Shah ji! 👍
