Social reformer and

spiritual guide Sri M's 16-month 'Walk of Hope' from Kanyakumari to Kashmir received a huge endorsement from Pope Francis with the Pontiff exuding robust hope that such a mission to promote inter-faith harmony would ensure "a strong and vibrant future for India".

The endorsement for the 'padayatra' came when Sri M met the Pope at the Vatican on Friday, a press release said here today.

The Head of the Roman Catholic Church congratulated Sri M for the endeavour undertaken to "ensure a strong and vibrant future for India".

Last year, the 67-year-old social reformer had undertaken the 'Walk of Hope' - a 7,500-km pan-India padayatra through 11 Indian states.
