"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.

Austin, a 70-year-old career soldier, initially underwent minor surgery to treat cancer on December 22. Washington: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to make a "full recovery" from prostate cancer and his prognosis is "excellent," two doctors said after he was seen at Walter Reed hospital for a follow-up appointment. Austin controversially kept US President Joe Biden in the dark about the cancer diagnosis for weeks, and did not inform either the commander-in-chief or Congress until days after he was hospitalized on January 1 for complications from his treatment. "Secretary Austin was seen today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled post-prostatectomy surveillance appointment," the doctors said in a statement released by the Pentagon. "He continues to recover well and is expected to make a full recovery. Secretary Austin's prostate cancer was treated early and effectively, and his prognosis is excellent,...

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...
