"So Much Humility": Morari Bapu On Rishi Sunaks Ram Katha Appearance

Morari Bapu's nine-day Ram Katha at the Cambridge University began last Saturday

New Delhi:

Days after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made an appearance at Morari Bapu's Ram Katha at Cambridge University, NDTV spoke with the spiritual leader on the event. 

Rishi Sunak, Britain's first Hindu Prime Minister, had attended the Ram Katha event at the famous university on Independence Day.

Rishi Sunak, while speaking at the Ram Katha, had expressed his pride in being a Hindu. "I am here today not as a Prime Minister, but as a Hindu," Mr Sunak told Morari Bapu.

Talking about his meeting with Mr Sunak, Morari Bapu said, "he is a prime minister, still he came with so much humility."

"It takes courage for a world leader to openly embrace the Hindu identity. No one should have any objections to it," he said.

"Rishi Sunak chanted Jai Siya Ram twice. If a world leader like him can proudly identify as a Hindu and chant Jai Siya Ram, why should anyone else be reluctant?" Bapu asked.

During his address, Rishi Sunak had said that his Hindu faith guides him in every aspect of his life and gives him the courage to do the best as the Prime Minister of Britain.

"For me, faith is very personal. It guides me in every aspect of my life. Being Prime Minister is a great honour, but it is not an easy job. There are difficult decisions to make, hard choices to confront and our faith gives me courage, strength, and resilience to do the best that I can for our country," he said.

Pointing to a large golden image of Lord Hanuman as the backdrop to Morari Bapu's Ram Katha, the British prime minister said it reminded him of how a "golden Ganesha sits gleefully on my desk at 10 Downing Street".

Morari Bapu's nine-day Ram Katha at the Cambridge University began last Saturday. "Taking about Lord Ram at the renowned university was an honour for me," he said.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...

California Homeless People Found Living In Deep Caves Stocked With Drugs

Homeless people were found living in riverside caves. In a clear example of California's homelessness crisis, authorities found caves along the Tuolumne River where people had been living. These 20-foot-deep underground dwellings, reached by makeshift stairs, were filled with makeshift furniture and personal belongings, revealing the desperate measures some take for shelter. Located near Modesto, the caves were cleared over the weekend by police and volunteers from local homeless outreach organizations. Authorities expressed concern about safety risks from unstable structures and potential flooding from the nearby river. "This particular area has been plagued by vagrancy and illegal camps, which have raised concerns due to the fact that these camps were actually caves dug into the riverbanks," the Modesto Police Department said in a statement. "During the operation on Saturday, a total of 7,600 lbs of trash, as well as two truckloads and a trailer of garbage, w...
