Books are the true guiding force in both personal and societal growth as they are the permanent records of knowledge, preserving ideas and legacies for future generations, he noted. The Speaker urged the youth to embrace books as a source of inspiration, motivation, and strength to overcome challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Shri Birla made these observations today as he launched two books \u2014 \u2018Stree: Deh se Aage\u2019 and \u2018Mind Body Intellect\u2019\u2014 authored by renowned journalist and Chief Editor of Rajasthan Patrika, Shri Gulab Kothari, at the ongoing New Delhi World Book Fair 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the gathering, Shri Birla highlighted the invaluable role of books in providing guidance, wisdom, and strength, especially in challenging times. He emphasized that books are not only lifelong companions but also serve as teachers from where knowledge can be acquired anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>It augurs well that this year\u2019s book fair coincides with two significant events, the Maha Kumbh Mela and the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution, said Shri Birla. He described the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj as a symbol of faith and devotion, while calling the World Book Fair a &#8220;Maha Kumbh of knowledge and culture,&#8221; where literature, ideas, and thought converge to inspire society towards progress. He underlined the significance of the Constitution as the foundation of Indian democracy, stating that it provides the guiding principles for national growth and development.<\/p>\n<p>Shri Birla praised Shri Gulab Kothari as not just a journalist but also a prominent thinker, philosopher, and humanist. In context of today\u2019s book release, Shri Birla commended Shri Kothari\u2019s insightful comparison of Vedic wisdom with contemporary perspectives, particularly in relation to the evolving role of women in society. He also appreciated the books for their profound exploration of consciousness and inner strength, stating that it would encourage readers to connect with their higher selves and understand the deeper aspects of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi, Feb 8 New Delhi; 08 February, 2025: Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla has&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19003,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-national"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
