On the 9/11 anniversary Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered two important events, Acharya Vinoba Bhave’s birth 125th anniversary and Swami Vivekananda’s Chicago address in 1893, saying both these men have a lot to teach the ‘entire humanity.’
The world remembers 9/11 for the dastardly attack on this day in USA. If only humankind had walked on the path of ‘Jai Jagat’ given by Acharya Vinoba Bhave & Swami Vivekananda’s message of Universal Brotherhood given in 1893, the destruction that followed would not have occurred.

In his tweet he said that the world remembers 9/11 for the dastardly attack in the US and said if humans had walked on the path of Bahve’s slogan of ”Jai Jagat” and Vivekananda’s nineteenth-century message of universal brotherhood, the destruction that followed would not have occurred. He also said that In 1918 Mahatma Gandhi wrote about Bhave that ”I do not know in what terms to praise you. Your love and your character fascinate me and so also your self-examination. I am not fit to measure your worth”.
He also added that Vivekananda’s address in 1893 perfectly demonstrated the spirit of India’s ethos and the values that are an integral part of our land, as he urged youngsters to read the text of his address.
