Governor Kavinder Gupta paid rich tributes to the former International President of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Ashok Singhal, during a birth centenary event organized at the historic Gaiety Theatre in Shimla.
Addressing the gathering, the Governor highlighted that Ashok Singhal’s life stands as a timeless testament to commitment, cultural preservation, and the resurgence of Sanatan traditions.

Reflecting on Sanatan philosophy, Gupta remarked that ideals like Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam define the universal ethos of Indian civilization. He further recognized Ashok Singhal’s pivotal leadership in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, noting how he unified public sentiment and brought civilizational identity into the mainstream national narrative.
As part of the solemn occasion, Governor Gupta felicitated senior woman karsevak Rajdulari Sood and Yoga Acharya Vinod for their notable achievements. The program was presided over by Prof. Veer Singh Rangra, who shared insightful reflections on Singhal’s lifelong dedication and ideals.
