00:13MODERATOR GURU JOHNNATH BANERJEE

00:16Today I had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

00:28I wanted to meet him because on 1st January, I received a letter from the Indian government

00:36stating that the Indian government has decided to allot land for Baba's memorial in Rajghat.

00:48I wanted to thank the Prime Minister for this.

00:53My father always used to say that a national memorial is a national honor.

01:01State honors are never asked for.

01:04That is why our family never asked for it or demanded it.

01:07But without asking, without demanding, the Prime Minister Modi thought about it

01:13and he himself took the decision that this memorial will be made in his honor for Baba's memory.

01:20It is immensely touching.

01:22I would like to express my deepest gratitude from the core of my heart to the Union Government of India

01:39and Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji

01:42for bestowing this honor of creating a memorial in my father's memory.

01:49My father always used to say that state honors, even a memorial is also like a state honor.

01:56State honors should never be asked for or demanded.

02:01It should always be offered.

02:03That is why our family never asked for it.

02:06But on his own, PM Modi thought about it and took this initiative to create this memorial in his honor.

02:15So for that, I am deeply grateful to him and I would really like to thank him from the deepest core of my heart.
