My Fellow Citizens,
On the eve of our 64th Independence Day, I extend my warmest greetings to all of you from all walks of life, living in India and overseas. I convey special greetings to the brave personnel of our Armed Forces and the Para-military forces who guard our frontiers and to our Central and State police, as well as our internal security forces. I also compliment every citizen of this country whose hard work, productive prowess and enterprising zeal have put India among the front ranks of the nations of the world. I convey my heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones, suffered injuries and whose properties have been destroyed in the recent cloud burst in Leh.

Quoting extensively from scriptures, Dr. Karan Singh laid emphasis on the need to re-discover and understand the role of spirituality in sustaining humanity and universal values in our modern world which has been troubled by multifarious problems. "If humanity is to survive in a global society that is sane, secure and sustainable, the present hyper-consumerist, ultra-promiscuous and super-materialistic lifestyle will have to yield way to a more holistic paradigm in which spirituality plays a pivotal role."

Friends,
We live in an age of tremendous turmoil and transition with the old collapsing and the new struggling to be born, and we find ourselves precariously poised between a disappearing past and an indeterminate future. The advances of science and technology have been truly extra-ordinary including breaking of the space barrier by Yuri Gagarin, Space Travel, instant communications, and unravelling, the human genome, the large Hadron Collider, the Internet and the world-wide web, which have transformed the texture of our lives in our very lifetimes. The inexorable pace of change appears to accelerate as we hurtle into the global society astride the irreversible arrow of time, and the crisis faced by humanity is also deepening.
