Tributes to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee

Friends,

Today we remember the great Syama Prasad Mookerjee, a statesman, thinker and a patriot who devoted his life towards strengthening national integration. The founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, he left us on this day exactly 59 years back in 1953. Giving a call to the country for complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir into the Indian Union, he said "Ek desh me Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan aur Do Nishan nahi chalenge" which means “Ours is one country; we cannot have Two Constitutions, Two Presidents and Two Flags!”. Remembering him, Advaniji has penned a heart-touching blog today “SALUTATIONS TO A GREAT MARTYR !” which I would like to share with you. SALUTATIONS TO A GREAT MARTYR You can know more about the life and sayings of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee on the following website https://shyamaprasad.org/ Yours, Narendra Modi

Kind Words from Honorable Justice Krishna Iyer, former Judge of the Supreme Court

March 19, 2020

Dear Friends,

"Work without expecting the fruits of action"- this message of the Bhagavada Gita is strongly engrained in all of us. At times, even such deeply dedicated lives get inspired when touched by emotions. Amidst the glitter of fame and name flows incessantly a stream of sentiments but it is like river Saraswati just felt underneath. The sweet sounds of these streams find their ways and shake you to the core occasionally.

Sometime back I had been to Kerala where I paid an informal courtesy to one of India’s most renowned judges, Honorable Justice Krishna Iyer (Former Judge, Supreme Court). In a simple house, he sat in a room lit with sunrays peeping through the windows in the midst of heaps of books. It was truly an honour to meet the 90-year old Justice Iyer, whose persona epitomized politeness, kindness and a deep sense of affection! This meeting will be edged in my memory forever.

Friends, the whole of Gujarat is familiar with my passion for girl child education. Everybody has enjoyed the fruits of the Kanya Kelavani initiative across Gujarat! Details about the initiative could be found here (Kanya Kelavani).

I am writing this today to share with you an inspiring letter I received from Justice Iyer a few months ago in which he lauded our efforts for girl child education. The letter is sure to bring great joy to your heart as it did to mine. Joy and enthusiasm are best enjoyed when shared and this collective enthusiasm can further strengthen us to work better.
