A profoundly historic moment! I am deeply honored and privileged to bring back the Sacred Relics of Lord Buddha’s great disciples, from Mongolia to India, after a much revered 10-day Exposition, that coincided with the auspicious Vesak celebrations in Mongolia, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and Mahaparinirvana of Lord Buddha This sacred exposition in Mongolia was not merely a ceremonial occasion, but a spiritual bridge connecting two ancient civilisations, bound together through the timeless message of Buddha - compassion, wisdom and the ever-lasting pursuit for enlightenment. I express my deep appreciation to the venerable monks, the Government of Mongolia, the Gandan Tegchenling Monastery, the people of Mongolia and the Embassy of India in Ulaanbaatar, for the meticulous arrangements to make this Exposition a memorable one. I am immensely grateful to Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji, for bestowing this great honour upon me. Under his visionary leadership, the cultural, spiritual and diplomatic ties between India and Mongolia have evolved into a robust strategic partnership. May this momentous occasion spread the eternal message of Lord Buddha and foster global peace, harmony, and brotherhood.

"जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी"- मातृभूमि के प्रति समर्पण और श्रद्धा का यह शाश्वत मंत्र आज पुनः मेरे अंतर्मन में अनुगूंजित हो उठा। आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के विश्वबंधुत्व और ‘वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्’ के महान आदर्शों को आत्मसात करते हुए सम्पन्न हुई मंगोलिया की सुखद यात्रा के पश्चात आज अपनी प्रिय मातृभूमि भारत की पावन धरती पर लौटकर हृदय भाव-विभोर है। अपने देश की मिट्टी का स्पर्श सदैव एक अद्वितीय आत्मीयता, ऊर्जा और गौरव का अनुभव कराता है। माँ भारती के चरणों में कोटिशः नमन।
