Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a major Bollywood star, was recently talked about because of her respectful and loving gesture at a big and famous spiritual event. The actress went to the events celebrating the hundred years of birth of the late spiritual guru, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh.
The event was also visited by many other well-known people including the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. Aishwarya, a long-time devotee, walked onto the stage and immediately bowed down and touched PM Modi's feet in a traditional way of showing respect. The Prime Minister reacted to the act by blessing her with a smile.
However, Aishwarya's arrival was not only for exchange of greetings; she also shared an emotional speech that deeply resonated with the audience. She tied the viral message of the universal unity and love to the late guru's teachings and the former Miss World title holder spoke it out loud.
She was quoted as saying:
"There is only one caste: the caste of humanity. There is only one religion: the religion of love. There is only one language: the language of the heart. And there is only one God, and he is omnipresent."
Moreover, Aishwarya also took a point to recognize PM Modi for being at the revered event and said that his presence was adding "sanctity and inspiration" to the celebration. She linked his leadership to the guru's message by saying that "true leadership is service, and service to man is service to God."
This unforgettable moment, which shows the global superstar's humility beside the powerful political figure, was the main topic of social media conversations and it made people remember the very important and timeless virtues of respect and devotion that are an integral part of Indian culture."
