On this occasion, Swami Ramdev said “Guru Purnima is the festival of establishing Sanatan Dharma as Yug Dharma. It is a festival that represents India’s glorious Guru-disciple tradition, Rishi tradition, Veda tradition and Sanatan tradition and gives them perfection.” He said that Rashtra Dharma was also included in Veda, Rishi and Guru Dharma.

Addressing the students of Patanjali University, he said that today there was a battle for supremacy going on in the whole world. The dominance should be of truth, yoga, spirituality and justice. Due to different reasons, different types of ideological frenzy, religious frenzy, materialism, intellectual terrorism, religious terrorism, political, economic terrorism, medical terrorism, educational terrorism were going on in the whole world. In such a situation, the whole world will get education, medical, economic, social, political direction from India and India will be respected as the world leader.
