While paying tribute to the Vinoba Bhave, PM Modi said, "In 1918 Mahatma Gandhi wrote about Bhave that 'I do not know in what terms to praise you. Your love and your character fascinate me and so also your self-examination. I am not fit to measure your worth'."
 
 
PM Modi further added, "Acharya Vinoba Bhave was one of the most devout followers of Mahatma Gandhi. He placed great emphasis on social empowerment and education. His passion towards Gau Seva was exemplary. He endeared himself to several people due to his humility and simplicity. Vinoba Bhave was an Indian advocate of nonviolence and human rights. Often called Acharya. He is considered as a National Teacher of India and the spiritual successor of Mohandas Gandhi."
 
 
Speaking about Vivekananda's address, PM Modi tweeted, "Vivekananda's address in 1893 perfectly demonstrated the spirit of India's ethos and the values that are an integral part of our land." He also urged youngsters to read the text of his address. His Chicago address is a proud moment in India’s history and it heralded the arrival of one of India’s greatest spiritual leaders on the world stage.
 
 
Remembering the 9/11 (September 11) terror attack in the USA, PM Modi said, "If only humankind had walked on the path of ‘Jai Jagat’ given by Acharya Vinoba Bhave & Swami Vivekananda’s message of Universal Brotherhood given in 1893, the destruction that followed would not have occurred."
