January 26: On the occasion of 73rd Republic Day, Morari Bapu hoisted the national flag and saluted the nation. While delineating the true meaning of the tricolor Morari Bapu said, “The saffron colour of our flag is a symbol of truth for the truth is above all. The white is a symbol of pure love, for love must be unstained and bright. The green below is a symbol of compassion. Our floras are green, and so we call our mother earth green. The Chakra in our flag signifies how beautifully great and energetic our nation is. On this sacred day, my best wishes go to every Indian. May our flag forever fly with pride in every part of the world.”
While paying tribute to the unswerving dedication and valour of the nation, he said, ” We hoist the national flag for nine days at all the places where Ramkatha is being held. Be it any country in the world, we together unflur the national flag in any part of the world on every Independence Day and on Republic Day so as to celebrate the glory of India. We beseech the Almighty to bestow our nation with prosperity, peace and well-being of every citizen.”
