Playing with words, Union minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi on Tuesday pushed for 'mangal', as in happiness, rather than 'Mangal', the planet.
Addressing a session during the ongoing global peace summit organised by spiritual organisation Brahma Kumari at Abu road in Rajasthan's Sirohi, the Union Minister of State for Animal Husbandry said that in Europe there is competition between science and spiritually, while in India the two things are complementary to each other.
Asserting that knowing one's own self is spirituality, he said, "We are striving towards knowing the world, but we are not knowing ourselves."
