Blood donation most sacred act of humanity: BJP chief

“Blood donation is not just a ritual, but the most sacred way to awaken the spirit of service and strengthen the feeling of universal brotherhood,” said Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin on Saturday at the Dadi Prakashmani Auditorium of the Om Shanti Retreat Center (ORC) in Bhora Kalan near Manesar. He was speaking as the chief guest at the launch of the “Blood Donation Maha Abhiyan” organised by the social service division of the Brahma Kumaris Institute.

Nabin said donating blood gives a person self-satisfaction. The new generation’s involvement in this campaign is a positive sign. Describing the youth as the future of the country, he urged them to join the pledge of de-addiction, along with donating blood.

Praising the efforts of the Brahma Kumaris, he said knowledge is the key to life’s right direction, and the organisation is serving as an inspirational pillar in achieving big goals by maintaining a calm mind in difficult situations.

ORC Director Asha Didi said that along with donating blood, instilling moral values in society is equally important. This transformation is possible only through Raja Yoga and spirituality. She said yoga brings positive changes not only to the soul, but also to human attitudes.
