“Gita, Quran sab ek saman, ise padhe har insan – na dharm se na jaat se, hamari pehchan ho insan se (Gita and Quran are equal. Every human being should read them. Instead of caste and religion, we all should be identified as humans), he says adding “Every religion teaches good things and we must adopt good karma as this will give purity to our mind,” he added.

Since then, I have been writing the name of Lord Rama in Hindi, Urdu and English”.
