Tulsi Gabbard: Krishna’s Teachings Give Me Peace And Strength

NEW DELHI (ANI) – U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is currently in India as part of a multi-nation visit, marking her first trip to the country since assuming office.

On March 17, Gabbard met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi where he presented Gabbard with a vase containing water from the Ganga, collected during the recently concluded Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. He also gifted her a rudraksha bead mala as a gesture of goodwill.

Following the meeting, Gabbard sat down for an interview where she shared how her spiritual journey and Hindu faith play an integral role in her life. A devout follower of Lord Krishna, Gabbard revealed that Krishna’s teachings to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita provide her with comfort and strength in both the best and worst of times.

“My personal spiritual practice, my relationship with God, is at the center of my life,” Gabbard explained. “In different times of my life, whether serving in war zones or facing current challenges, it is Krishna’s teachings to Arjuna that I turn to for guidance. Those teachings give me strength, peace, and great comfort.”

Gabbard spoke about the significance of living a life in alignment with her faith, saying, “What better way to do that than to be of service to all of God’s children? I do my best every day to live a life that is pleasing to God.”

Her love for India was also evident as she shared her deep connection with the country. “I always feel at home when I’m here,” Gabbard said, noting the kindness of the people and her fondness for Indian cuisine. “The Dal Makhani and anything with fresh paneer is delicious.”

Gabbard’s visit to India is part of a broader diplomatic tour, and she will be addressing the Raisina Dialogue on March 18, where she will further engage in discussions on U.S.-India relations.
