Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the centenary celebration of the historic conversation between Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi on Tuesday, June 24. The event is scheduled to take place at 11:00 AM at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister will also address the gathering.
This centenary marks 100 years since the landmark interaction between two of India’s most revered spiritual and moral leaders. The original conversation took place on March 12, 1925, at the Sivagiri Mutt during Mahatma Gandhi’s visit. Their dialogue addressed key social and moral issues of the time, including the Vaikom Satyagraha, religious conversions, non-violence, abolition of untouchability, the path to salvation, and the upliftment of the downtrodden.
The event is being organised by the Sree Narayana Dharma Sanghom Trust, which manages the Sivagiri Mutt. It aims to bring together spiritual leaders, scholars, and social reformers to reflect on the significance of this dialogue, which continues to influence India’s social and ethical landscape.
