The entire humanity is receiving the message of peace from the teachings of this book. The teachings of this book are completely relevant not only for Kaliyuga but also for the future. Following the teachings of this book, we should try to understand each other and the whole world should move forward on the path of peace.
He said that along with understanding the teachings of this book, there is a need to adopt them in our lives. Only by following these teachings can any country move forward on the path of progress. The mind is purified by the teachings of this book and when the mind is pure then it will forget religion and caste and will be bound to the thread of humanity. When the entire humanity will be united, peace will definitely be established in the world. He said that after seeing the International Gita Mahotsav on this holy land, it has been decided that in the coming year i.e. the year 2024, International Gita Mahotsav will be organized on the land of Sri Lanka so that the people of Sri Lanka will also assimilate the teachings of the holy book Gita.
