The verses of the Gita are not merely messages but fundamental mantras that, when embraced, can benefit all of humanity. The Gita dispels the darkness of ignorance and enlightens the inner self with self-knowledge. It shows the path to liberation from ignorance, sorrow, attachment, anger, desire, and greed. The Gita inspires us to consider action as the primary duty of life.” Sharma also mentioned that he personally follows the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, giving priority to his duties and striving to complete his tasks diligently.

The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita holds immense significance in human life. Its teachings acquaint one with life’s realities, inspire selfless action, and inculcate a sense of duty. Especially when one is engulfed in doubt, studying the Gita provides appropriate guidance.”
The school’s director, Rakesh Gandotra, praised Mahant Rohit Shastri’s commendable efforts, stating that his energetic initiatives are guiding society in a new direction. By organizing such programs, he is raising awareness about cultural heritage in society.
