During his recent visit to ISCKON's Bhaktivedanta Manor on the occasion of Janmashtami, UK PM contender Rishi Sunak shared that he drew strength from the Bhagavad Gita during his quest to be the next leader of the Conservative party. He said it had been “a tough campaign” and he had been “giving it everything he had got”.

 

 

 

 

 

He said, “But at times of the most difficulty, what Akshata has done for me, is to give me the teachings of the Gita and she has done it on the phone and by message. It is the Gita that has given me strength over the past few weeks." The Tory leadership contender was invited with his entire family for a private darshan at the Bhaktivedanta Manor.

 

Vinay Tanna, director of communications at Bhaktivedanta Manor, “In an environment like this, where your guard is a little down, you really see the person — either you see a very empty political voice, or you see a human that actually wants to do something — and I really felt we had seen something very human and genuine."
