His interpretation of Shri Ramcharitmanas offers rich moral and social insights, blending Sanskrit shlokas, Hindi couplets, and local dialects, making each episode a deeply moving experience for devotees.”He emphasized that the Katha is not merely a religious ritual but a guiding light for humanity, fostering values of compassion, duty, and righteousness. “India’s ancient cultural heritage is rooted in the ideals of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah.
