These institutions remained largely due to people, especially the commercial and business community. In Sanatana Dharma, creating wealth is a duty and the responsibility of all, not for selfish reasons, but for sharing it with others in a dharmic way, ”he said.

Bharat’s central force as Rashtra was none other than Sanatana Dharma … It was built on Dharmic principles. When you deny these principles and ignore the institutions that nourish those principles in everyday life, attention will go to another place, ”he said.
