Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the centenary celebration of the historic conversation between Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi on Tuesday at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. The event, organised by the Sree Narayana Dharma Sanghom Trust, marks 100 years since the influential meeting between the two spiritual and social reformers.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to address the gathering around 11 a.m. as part of the commemorative programme, which will bring together spiritual leaders and scholars to reflect on the legacy of the dialogue held on March 12, 1925, at Sivagiri Mutt in Kerala.
The conversation between Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi is remembered for its deep engagement with key issues of the time-Vaikom Satyagraha, the question of religious conversions, the principle of non-violence, the abolition of untouchability, and the upliftment of marginalised communities.
Described as a moment of moral and philosophical convergence, the 1925 meeting has since been regarded as a milestone in India’s social reform movement.
