According to him, the message in the Bhagvad Gita is a treasure to mankind which if righteously understood and acted upon, will act as an important tool to maintain peace and harmony across the world.

As for Minister Roopun, he observed that the International Gita Mahotsav, is being hosted for the first time outside India, while adding that it is a matter of great pride and honour for Mauritius. The event, he indicated, is evidence of the deep bonds that exist between the two countries.
