यह अच्छा है कि गवर्नर जी ने युवाओं को जोड़ने की बात कही, लेकिन क्या सरकार इसके लिए कोई ठोस कदम भी उठाएगी? सिर्फ भाषण देने से काम नहीं चलेगा। हमारे बच्चों को वेदों की शिक्षा स्कूलों में मिलनी चाहिए। उम्मीद है कि यह सिर्फ एक फोटो-ऑप नहीं था।

As someone who moved to Himachal from the UK, I find these events fascinating. The sense of community and spiritual devotion is incredible. It's refreshing to see political leaders participating in cultural preservation. This is something we could learn from in the West. 🙏

Kathua mein aisa aayojan bahut achha hai, lekin yahaan development bhi honi chahiye. Yajna se shanti milegi, lekin logon ko rozgar bhi chahiye. Ummeed hai ki yeh neta log spirituality ke saath-saath vikas par bhi dhyan denge.

बहुत अच्छी पहल है! वैदिक परंपराओं को संरक्षित करना हमारा कर्तव्य है। विशेषकर जम्मू-कश्मीर जैसे संवेदनशील क्षेत्र में यह शांति का संदेश देता है
