7 suicides take place in Delhi every day

The suicides are due to physical, mental handicap, and non-employment

  • Indians did not receive training on spiritual practice during the last 73 years. Performing spiritual practice makes the state of mind better and strengthens mental and spiritual power. This makes the mind stable in adverse situations and diverse conditions. External conditions do not affect the spiritual state of mind. However, the lack of study in this aspect and the declaration of India as a secular country  made people suffer. This is one of the major harm caused to Indian people. Early realisation of this fact will make our future better.
  • In the ‘Hindu Rashtra (Nation), the people will be taught spiritual practice through the education on Dharma. The living conditions in the Hindu Rashtra will not be as it is now; it will not provoke people to suicide to commit suicides. People will not harbour the thoughts of suicide and the country will be free of suicides.
