    Under the guidance and leadership of the Prime Minister, unprecedented work is being done in the field of cultural renaissance of the country: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh

    Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam programme, the country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that Tamil Nadu and Gujarat in the presence of the world’s first Jyotirlinga Somnath Mahadev; This program of union of these two states shows the cultural splendor of India. In the holy presence of Lord Somnath Mahadev and in the inspiring presence of dignitaries including Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, the ‘Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam’ program was grandly inaugurated on Monday by the lotus hands of Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam program has been organized in Gujarat in the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of ‘One India-Best India’, due to which the Tamil people who have come here have got the opportunity to see Lord Somnath and their ancestral land. .

    Along with border security, economic security, food security, social security, cyber security, security of culture is also essential in the country today.

    Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that along with border security, economic security, food security, social security, cyber security, security of culture is also essential in the country today. Border security is necessary to keep the border of any nation safe, similarly cultural security is also very important to maintain its identity. He said that unprecedented work is being done in this direction under the guidance and leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have become witnesses of the cultural renaissance era of the country.

    This program of meeting of two states shows the cultural splendor of India.

    Rajnath Singh further said that due to the efforts of the Prime Minister, a grand event of the Kashi-Tamil Sangam had taken place in the past. Such events further strengthen the ties between the different cultures of India and strengthen the unity of the country. India is an idea as well as a feeling which cannot be explained in words. Even centuries of foreign invasions could not destroy this idea. Similarly, many attacks on the land of Saurashtra by sea route could not break the spirit of Saurashtra. The invaders looted wealth, they simultaneously broke and destroyed temples, houses, schools, libraries, but those invaders could not break the morale of the people of Saurashtra and the people of Saurashtra have been rising again and again. Such Saurashtrians settled in Tamil Nadu centuries ago to save their religion and culture, prospered with their hard work and wisdom, and contributed significantly to the development of Tamil Nadu.

    Various programs will be organized in Gir Somnath and Dwarka till 30th April

    Mixing with each other like sugar in milk and adopting others is a distinctive feature of Indian culture. The Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam is a classic example of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. Today, when such original Saurashtra resident Tamils have come on a journey to their ancestral land, then such a confluence seems as if the waters of the western sea of India are merging with the waters of the southern sea. The Defense Minister further said that ‘Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargad Api Gariyasi’ means mother and motherland are higher than heaven. Today’s holy confluence has become a live example of this verse and spirit. He said that today
    The program is taking forward the program of inviting Tamil brothers by Saurashtra University in the year 2006 under the guidance of the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.

    300 Tamil yatris reached Somnath on the first day of the ten-day program

    Recalling saints like Venkataraman, Tyagarag Bhagwapar and Narasimha Mehta of Gujarat on the occasion, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that the devotional Saurashtrian Tamils carried forward the tradition of worshiping Lord Krishna. Lord Someshwara Shiva resides at one end of the sea, while at the other end is Rameshwaram established by Lord Rama. This confluence is a wonderful confluence connecting both the cultures. The history of this community has been one of development. Referring to the contribution of Saurashtra in the field of art, literature and language, Rajnath Singh further said that all these areas have been considered with precision in this Sangam. I am sure that this confluence will prove to be an important step in the development of both the states and the people of both the states.
