The Prime Minister said that I urge you to visit a website – http://ekbharat.gov.in – it shows our many efforts to carry forward the campaign of national integration;
It has an interesting corner – the sentence for the day, in which we learn how to speak a sentence in a difference. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that pilgrimage itself embodies India in a formula. The series of Jyotirlingas and Shaktipeeths binds India in one sutra. The centers of our faith established from Tripura to Gujarat to Jammu and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu unite us.
The Prime Minister said that Kerala-born Pujya Adi Shankaracharya established four important monasteries in the four directions of India – Badrikashram in the north, Puri in the east, Sringeri in the south and Dwarka in the west.

I most respectfully pay my respects to her. The Prime Minister said today that on 31 October, we will also celebrate Valmiki Jayanti. I pay my respects to Maharishi Valmiki.
