Acharya Shri Amrender Muni Ji with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
The ex Prime Minister of India, Mrs Indira Gandhi was a lady of supreme confidence and sharp intellect. She had a very high regard for Acharya Shri Sushil Kumar Ji Maharaj and would to come to seek his blessings and guidance.
When Amrender Muni Ji met her at the time of this interview, there was a lot of turmoil in the country. On asking Amrender
Muni Ji how to bring about peace Indira Gandhi with Sushil Kumar Ji
and Amrender Muni Ji in the land, he said: "You are worried about how to bring about peace in the countrythis is right and good. Only when there is peace in the land will people be able to live in peace. I am a monk. I do not have any political affiliations. Whether it is the Congress party or the BJP I say that they should both work towards the good of the country.” He illustrated his meaning with a verse as follows:
"Un tarkon ko ham dafna dein, jo vivaad khada karte hain. Un farkon ko ham jhutla dein Jo bhed racha karte hain. Bekar vivadon mein ulajhne Se kuch nahin hasil, Un sharton ko ham bhula dein Jinse taandav macha karte hain."
“Let us bury those issues Which create dissent. Let us forget those differences Which create rists between us. Let us not get entangled in useless arguments Let us forget about those conditions, Which lead to a dance of destruction."
