An Evening of Music and Meditation, organised as part of the Viksit Bharat Ambassador program, commenced on Sunday, 14th April, at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in Delhi. This mega event attracted over 30,000 attendees from various walks of life, including Art of Living disciples, educators, professionals, and esteemed guests from political and corporate spheres. The gathering witnessed a blend of spiritual enlightenment, cultural celebration, and discussion on a progressive discourse for the nation, graced by the presence of revered spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The evening's Chief Guest, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, illuminated the gathering with his wisdom and insights. Notable personalities, including Lok Sabha Delhi BJP Candidates, BJP Delhi leadership, Secretaries of important ministries, and senior corporate professionals, attended the event too.

In his address, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar commended India's strides on both the economic and spiritual fronts, emphasising the admiration garnered from global powers. He particularly praised the initiatives of the Narendra Modi government, including Direct Benefit Transfer and fostering a conducive environment for start-up growth. He added that the direct transfer of funds into people's accounts and the flourishing ecosystem for entrepreneurs symbolise India's rising prominence on the world stage.

"Today, money is being transferred into people's accounts directly. Also, it's startling to see the growth of so many start-ups; the world is looking up to India with great hope and excitement," the spiritual leader said.

"India's start-up growth is startling. The surge of entrepreneurs and start-ups has caught the world's eye, prompting a collective 'Wow, India!'" he added.

Central to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message was the importance of embracing diversity and celebrating India's rich cultural heritage. He emphasised the inclusive nature of Sanatan Dharma, which encompasses all religions without harbouring ill intentions towards others. Stressing the need to shed the shackles of a slavery mindset, he urged citizens to take pride in their roots and religious identities.

Drawing parallels between India's spiritual landmarks and those of other religions, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar highlighted Kashi Vishwanath's significance as a demonstration of India's beliefs. He hailed the construction of the grand Vishwanath Dham as a pivotal step towards realising Viksit Bharat's vision.

"The resurgence of Kashi Vishwanath Temple signals the dawn of a developed India. Despite taking notice from leaders like Indira Gandhi and concerns voiced by Mahatma Gandhi, the temple grappled with infrastructure challenges for seven decades. Today, under PM Modi's leadership, the majestic Vishwanath Dham stands tall, in full glory," he said.

The spiritual leader also noted a positive shift in people's behaviour, with an increasing pride in their religious and cultural identities.

"A cultural renaissance is underway in India, with people openly embracing their religious and cultural roots, celebrating their identities with pride and confidence," he said.

"This Ram Navami marks a historic milestone with the completion of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple after 500 years of wait. PM Narendra Modi's personal involvement and attention to detail, amid his other duties, deserve recognition. Today, India's commitment to both culture and science remains unwavering," he added.

"Tamil culture, despite its immense richness, remained undiscovered by many in our nation. Prime Minister Modi's recent emphasis on showcasing Tamil culture is a first. Surprisingly, Tamil is the national language in four countries, and Japanese has 70% Tamil influence. Regrettably, we've hesitated to embrace such a remarkable heritage," he said.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar lauded Prime Minister Modi's leadership, particularly during global unrest, showcasing India's strength in diplomatic endeavours. He also commended PM Modi's steadfast leadership amidst global challenges, particularly in navigating the Ukraine Crisis. He highlighted India's rising global prominence as 'Vishwaguru Bharat', emphasising the prioritisation of Indian interests.

"PM Modi's mediation efforts in the Ukraine-Russia standoff underscore India's robust global diplomacy. Amid pressures to take sides, India maintained a steadfast stance, offering hope when the world was on the brink of war. India's resilience prevented potential economic setbacks faced by other countries," he said.

"Under PM Modi's leadership, India's global standing has risen significantly. We have a leader who values our cultural legacy, understands its people, and engages with the global community. The vision of Ram Rajya, ensuring fundamentals for all, is becoming a reality," he added.

At the heart of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message was a call for self-reliance and dignity. He cautioned against dependency on freebies and emphasised the importance of self-respect and integrity in personal and national development.

"Self-respecting Indians value self-sufficiency; even modest earners prioritise paying for their children's education. Let's guide those tempted by freebies towards self-reliance and positivity," he said.

Gurudev emphasised the power of inclusive development, epitomised by the 'Sabka Saath' principle, which drives India's transformative journey. He stressed the collective responsibility of citizens in shaping the nation's future.

Drawing attention to societal challenges, he also advocated for ending alcohol and substance abuse. He also underscored the significance of active participation in the electoral process, stating how each vote contributes to the collective voice shaping the nation's destiny.

"The New Education Policy heralds a departure from colonial legacies, offering ample opportunities for youth to thrive. India's march towards becoming a 'Viksit Bharat', unstoppable," he added.

The event also highlighted the Viksit Bharat Ambassador program's mission to foster positivity and happiness, aligning with the Art of Living's principles. Through active citizen participation, the program seeks to realise PM Modi's ambitious goal of making India a fully developed nation by 2047.

The Viksit Bharat Ambassador Program aims to mobilise every citizen towards the collective goal of making India a fully developed nation by 2047, as envisioned by Prime Minister Modi. Through initiatives like this, ordinary citizens are empowered to contribute meaningfully to nation-building. As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar eloquently stated, India's trajectory towards becoming a global superpower is inevitable.

PM Modi’s high-energy speech electrifies the Siliguri crowd
April 12, 2026
TMC is an anti-North Bengal, anti-tribal, anti-tea garden, anti-women and anti-youth party: PM Modi in Siliguri
PM Modi says the TMC government has now been in power for 15 years. Over this period, you have witnessed how Bengal has declined under their rule
We want the children of Bengal to have opportunities to play and excel in sports. That’s why BJP Bengal has announced plans to establish a Sports University in North Bengal: PM
For the BJP, the Siliguri Corridor is a corridor of nation, security and prosperity. This project will greatly boost connectivity, trade, and tourism in Bengal and Sikkim: PM Modi
After May 4th, the BJP government will be formed and TMC will have to give an account of every moment of the past fifteen years: PM Modi in Siliguri

Ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today turbocharged the BJP’s campaign with a high-energy address in Siliguri, drawing massive public support. Addressing a packed rally in North Bengal, the PM launched a scathing attack on the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), accusing it of corruption, neglect and fostering a climate of fear.

Opening his speech with a personal connect to the region, PM Modi said, “Be it Darjeeling or Siliguri, I have come here many times. Every time, I receive immense love and blessings from the people. Yesterday’s 15-kilometre-long roadshow in Siliguri, filled with enthusiastic participation of youth and women, was truly incredible. Your affection and blessings are my greatest strength.”

He added, “Today’s massive gathering is enough to give sleepless nights to TMC. This rally in Siliguri is signaling the end of TMC’s ‘maha-jungle raj’. Across Bengal, one voice is echoing - ‘Poriborton dorkar, chai BJP sarkar!’”

He underscored what he called 15 years of misgovernance by TMC. “A child who was in Class 1 fifteen years ago is voting in this election today. This is the time to evaluate performance. But TMC has not delivered work, only a record of corruption,” he said.

Highlighting alleged regional neglect, he remarked, “Siliguri is the gateway to North Bengal, yet infrastructure here has been deliberately ignored. Whether it is connectivity, industry or tourism, people have only received neglect. Even the funds sent by the Centre have been siphoned off by syndicates.”

He further criticized the state government’s budget priorities, stating, “While thousands of crores are allocated elsewhere, North Bengal’s development continues to be sidelined. TMC is busy appeasing its vote bank instead of serving all sections equally.”

Emphasising Siliguri’s strategic importance, PM Modi said, “The Siliguri Corridor is not just a geographical term; it is an arm of Mother India. But TMC, driven by appeasement politics, has supported elements that have threatened this vital corridor. The country has a Tukde-Tukde gang and it threatened to cut off the Siliguri Corridor. They wanted to separate the northeast from the country. TMC, which indulges in appeasement politics, supports such people from the road to Parliament. This is the real face of TMC.”

He contrasted this with the Centre’s development push: “For BJP, Siliguri Corridor represents both national security and prosperity. Projects like the Sevoke-Rangpo railway line will directly connect Sikkim to the national rail network, boosting trade, tourism and employment for North Bengal’s youth.”

Outlining BJP’s roadmap, PM Modi said, “Under a double-engine government, Bengal will see double-speed development. We are committed to building modern engineering and medical colleges, a cancer hospital and a fashion designing institute in North Bengal.”

“We want the children of Bengal to have opportunities to play and excel in sports. That’s why BJP Bengal has announced plans to establish a Sports University in North Bengal. However, the TMC government is restricting the freedom of young women. They have created an atmosphere of fear among parents and women across the state,” he added.

Addressing tea garden workers, the PM noted, “Your tea’s flavour is known to me. But TMC has pushed tea gardens into distress. BJP will ensure land rights, housing, water, electricity, education and healthcare for every worker family.”

Raising concerns over law and order, the PM stated, “TMC has created fear among daughters and their families. “Modi guarantees justice in every case of crime against women. BJP will establish women police stations and help desks in every block and increase women’s recruitment in the police force,” he assured.

Announcing financial support, PM Modi said, “Bengal BJP has pledged ₹3,000 assistance for women. This money will reach directly into their bank accounts without any cut or commission.” “North Bengal is a land of immense talent. Tribal communities and Rajbanshi society have contributed greatly to India’s culture and progress. Our government is committed to preserving their language, traditions and identity,” he added.

In a strong closing appeal, PM Modi urged voters to give BJP an opportunity: “For 70 years, you gave chances to the Left, Congress and TMC. Now give Modi one chance, for the safety of daughters, for jobs for youth, for ending infiltration, for restoring law and order and for bringing back development.” He concluded with a powerful slogan, “Kamal khilao, ghuspaithiya bhagao! End fear, bring trust - this change is possible only with BJP.”
