Amit Shah Launches Spiritual Mission for Soldiers, Salutes Their Valor

In a heartfelt tribute to the bravery and dedication of India's armed forces, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah launched a powerful spiritual initiative focused on inner awakening and self-empowerment for security personnel.

In a meaningful mix of spirituality and patriotism, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah launched a nationwide program to help boost the inner strength of India’s security forces. Speaking at the Brahma Kumaris headquarters in Shantivan, Abu Road, Sirohi, Shah praised the important role of the armed forces in keeping the country safe. The event, focused on self-empowerment and inner growth, brought together spiritual leaders, soldiers, and senior officials—all working together to bring ancient wisdom into the lives of those who serve the nation.

Saluting the Spirit of Service

Shah opened his address by highlighting the extreme conditions under which India’s armed forces operate—from freezing temperatures of minus 46 degrees in the Himalayas to the scorching heat of plus 46 degrees in the deserts. He said that it’s the soldiers’ selfless dedication—often during the most important years of their lives—that keeps our borders safe and protects our people. He also recognized the huge personal and professional sacrifices they make to serve the country.

A Spiritual Path to Strength

At the heart of this new initiative is a belief in self-empowerment through inner awakening—a theme that resonated deeply at the event. Shah praised the Brahma Kumaris organisation for their commitment to guiding security personnel not just physically but also mentally and spiritually. Their practices of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, rooted in ancient Indian wisdom, are being introduced as tools for enhancing mental resilience and emotional balance.

Today, mental health is becoming more important than ever. This spiritual program stands out because it combines traditional Indian values with modern wellness practices. A key part of the program is the idea of Sanatangyan. This means timeless spiritual knowledge and inner truth. It helps soldiers stay calm, clear-minded, and balanced while they serve on the front lines.

Sanatangyan: The Spiritual Backbone

The idea of Sanatangyan is central to this movement. It comes from "Sanatan Dharma" and represents timeless truths. These truths go beyond religion and time. They provide a spiritual guide for people in high-stress situations. The Brahma Kumaris teach soldiers and officers these practices. The goal is to help them find inner peace, think clearly, and have a deeper sense of purpose.

Amit Shah highlighted that incorporating Sanatangyan into the lives of security personnel not only uplifts individual well-being but also strengthens the moral and emotional fabric of the nation’s defense forces.

Political Leaders Back the Mission

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, who was at the event, praised Shah's leadership. He called Shah a "key architect of India’s security and development." Sharma also emphasized the government's commitment to national unity. He mentioned the removal of Article 370 and the strong stance against Naxalism. These were examples of bold and effective governance under Shah and Prime Minister Modi.

Sharma also underscored the role of spiritual stability in creating a strong and united nation. According to him, initiatives like this one, rooted in Sanatangyan values, help build a more resilient and harmonious society.

Finally Amit Shah launching a spiritual initiative for the defense forces of India marks a gradual yet steady shift towards appreciating inner resilience in conjunction with outer toughness. India has a rich heritage combining Sanatangyan principles and modern mindfulness practices with meditation. This model nurtures the mind and body of the soldier serving the nation in adverse conditions. The potent blend of spirituality and patriotism nurture the intangible qualities of our soldiers and adds to the magnitude of the gratitude showered on them, making the nation’s forces more robust, ready, and resilient to stress.
