Respect and empower them to secure a brighter future.” He urged people to save and empower girl children, stating, “In Navratri, we honor girls, but if there are no daughters, whom will we worship? Now is the time to support and uplift them.”

Swami Ji emphasized the need for internal growth alongside technological advancement. He said, “We need to connect not just to the internet but also to the ‘inner-net.’” He described Katha as a “vaccine for thoughts” that instills positivity and fosters societal development.
