It is my belief that in future, through this statue, his teachings, ideals and values will be propagated for ages and ages," Rajnath Singh said.
Visiting 'Statue of Equality' on Thursday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said it is his belief that the statue will propagate ideals and values of 11th-century Bhakti Saint Swami Ramanujacharya in future.
The Minister made the statement while addressing a gathering near the temple of the 216-feet tall 'Statue of Equality', a statue of Saint Ramanujacharya, which is one of the tallest metallic sitting statues in the world.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the statue on February 6 as part of the 12-day Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi Samaroham, the ongoing 1,000th birth anniversary celebrations of the saint.
"I see this grand and colossal statue of Swami Ramanujacharya, the Statue of Equality, as his reincarnation. It is my belief that in future, through this statue, his teachings, ideals and values will be propagated for ages and ages," Mr Singh said.
