President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday highlighted India’s unique cultural strength, calling the blend of modernity and spirituality a defining force of the nation. Addressing a conference titled “Timeless Wisdom of Bharat: Pathways of Peace and Progress” in Hyderabad, she said India’s civilizational values continue to remain relevant in an increasingly complex world. The event was organized by the Brahma Kumaris Shanti Sarovar to mark its 21st anniversary.
The President noted that India’s rich spiritual heritage offers meaningful solutions to global psychological, moral, and environmental challenges. She stressed that inner peace, ethical living, and harmony with nature—core elements of Indian philosophy—are essential for sustainable global development. According to her, spiritual awareness can complement scientific and technological progress rather than oppose it.
President Murmu emphasized the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” which views the entire world as one family. She described this idea as the most urgent requirement for achieving lasting world peace in today’s divided global environment. The principle, she said, encourages empathy, cooperation, and mutual respect among nations and cultures.

She further stated that India’s cultural journey demonstrates how ancient wisdom can coexist with contemporary aspirations. The nation’s ability to balance tradition with innovation, she observed, makes it a guiding example for the global community. This balance, she added, helps address modern challenges without losing moral and spiritual grounding.
President Murmu is currently in Hyderabad as part of her winter sojourn at Rashtrapati Nilayam, one of the official presidential retreats. Her visit and address underline India’s growing role as a moral and spiritual voice on the global stage, advocating peace, unity, and holistic progress for humanity.
