It purifies the heart and the consciousness. It gives practical training of the fundamental elements of Indian ethics, culture and helps in emotional development.
While responding to the ideas expressed by Gani Rajendra vijay, Vice President M. Hamid Ansari said "Today our nation needs more moral education and teaching of non violence. We want peace and harmony because there is no alternative to it.
