"Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran is not an ordinary text but is the embodiment of the divine words of Shri Krishna himself. In this, an excellent description of the four purusharthas of devotion, knowledge, detachment and religion is found," he said.
CM Dhami said that in today's era, when people are mentally and spiritually disturbed in the race for materialism, at such a time, listening to the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha shows us the path to inner peace, solutions, and self-realisation.
Meanwhile, on June 30, Dhami participated in the Space Technology and Applications Conference 2025. The event focused on the role of Himalayan states in building a Developed India by 2047. ISRO Chairman Dr V Narayanan was present as the Chief Guest.
Welcoming scientists and participants from across the country, the chief minister said that this conference will be a milestone in realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
