England Prime minister: My faith guides me in every aspect of my life

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of Britain, said his faith, Hinduism, guides him in every aspect of his life.

Rishi Sunak, has told a Hindu gathering at the University of Cambridge that his Hindu faith influences every aspect of his life and gives him the courage to do his best as Prime Minister.

He was visiting the “Ram Katha”, a recital of the story of Lord Rama, led by the Indian spiritual leader Morari Bapu at Jesus College.

He said he was present not as a prime minister, but as a Hindu. He spoke of his upbringing in a Hindu family and taking his place serving the local community at the temple.

He said: “For me, faith is very personal. It guides me in every aspect of my life. Being prime minister is a great honour, but it is not an easy job. There are difficult decisions to make, hard choices to confront and our faith gives me courage, strength, and resilience to do the best that I can for our country”.

He also revealed that a golden Ganesha, a symbol of Lord Ganesha of happiness and prosperity,  “sits gleefully” on his desk at Number 10 Downing Street.
