PM Modi’s interaction with the Indian community in Japan
Free Guest Post: Bharat Mata ki Jai, Bharat Mata ki Jai, Whenever I come to Japan, I see every time that the rain of your love keeps on increasing every time. There are many of you fellows who have been settled here for many years. The language of Japan, its dress, culture, and food have become a part of your life in a way, and one of the reasons for being a part is that the Indian community’s rites have been inclusive. But at the same time, Japan has its own tradition, its values, its commitment to the earth in its life, it is very deep. And this is the union of the two. So naturally, it is very natural to feel a sense of belonging.
comrades,
You have been here, many people have settled here. I know many have got married here too. But it is also true that even after joining here for so many years, your reverence for India when good news comes in relation to India. So your happiness doesn’t have any feet. Happens doesn’t it? And when some bad news comes, you are also the most unhappy. These are the characteristics of us people, that we get attached to the land of work with our body and mind, but we never allow distance from the roots of the motherland and this is our biggest strength.
comrades,
When Swami Vivekananda was going to Chicago for his historic address, he had come to Japan before that and Japan had left a deep impression on his mind in his mind temple. The patriotism of the people of Japan, the confidence of the people of Japan, the discipline here, the awareness of the people of Japan for cleanliness, Vivekananda ji had praised it openly. Gurudev Rabindranathi ji Tagore also used to say that Japan is a country which is both ancient and modern at the same time. And Tagore had said, “Japan has come out of the immemorial east like a lotus blossoming in easy grace, all the while keeping its firm hold upon the profound depth for which it has sprung”. That is, he wanted to say. That Japan is as firmly attached to its roots as a lotus flower. With the same grandeur, it also enhances beauty everywhere. Such pious sentiments of these great men of ours explain the depth of our relationship with Japan.
comrades,
This time when I have come to Japan. So our diplomatic relationship is going to be seventy years, seven decades. Friends, you too must have experienced while living here. Everyone in India also feels that India and Japan are natural partners. Japan has played an important role in India’s development journey. Our relation with Japan is one of intimacy, of spirituality, our relation with Japan is of cooperation, of belongingness. And so in a way, this relationship is of our power, this relationship is of respect. And this relationship is also of a common resolve for the world. Our relationship with Japan is that of Buddha, of enlightenment, of enlightenment. If we have Mahakal then it is daikokuten in Japan. We have Brahma, so we are bonten in Japan, our mother is Sarastavi, so we have benzaiten in Japan. Our Mahadevi is Lakshmi, so there is kichijoten in Japan. So we have Ganesha, so we have Kangiten in Japan. In Japan, if there is a tradition of Jainism, then we consider meditation as a medium of action with the soul.
Even in the 21st century, we are taking forward these cultural relations of India and Japan with full commitment, and I am the MP of Kashi and would like to say with great pride that the former Prime Minister of Japan, Shia Pei came to Kashi. Then he gave a wonderful gift to Kashi. Rudraksh made in collaboration with Japan in Kashi and what was once my workplace, Jain Garden in Ahmedabad, and Kaizen Academy are such things that bring us so close. All of you here while in Japan are making this historical bond stronger and stronger.
comrades,
Today’s world needs more than ever to follow the path shown by Lord Buddha. This is the path which is the way to save humanity from every challenge in the world, whether it is violence, anarchy, terrorism, climate change. India is fortunate to have the direct blessings of Lord Buddha. By assimilating his ideas, India is continuously serving humanity. No matter what kind of challenges, no matter how big, India always looks for solutions to them. The biggest crisis of hundred years that arose in front of the world due to Corona. He is in front of us and that’s when it started. Till now no one knew what would happen next. Initially it seemed like it has come there, what is here. No one knew how to handle this? And there was no vaccine and there was no idea of when the vaccine would come. Even on the issue of whether the vaccine will come or not. There was an atmosphere of uncertainty all around. Even in those circumstances, India sent medicines to the countries of the world. When the vaccine became available, India sent the Made in India vaccine to crores of its citizens and also to more than a hundred countries of the world.
comrades,
India is making unprecedented investments to further improve its health services. Lakhs of new wellness centers are being built in the country to reach health facilities even in remote areas. You will also be happy to know that, perhaps you must have heard today too, the World Health Organization (WHO) has honored the ASHA workers and ASHA sisters of India with the Director General’s Global health leader award. of India
