Panaji, Oct 1 (IANS): Mahatma Gandhi's slogan -- 'it is health that is real wealth' -- is a relevant message amid the ongoing Covid pandemic, Goa Governor P.S. Sreedharan Pillai said in his message to the state on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti.

"His health slogan 'it is health that is real wealth' is very relevant in the context of prevailing Covid-19 pandemic when each one of us should practice Covid appropriate behavior of safety and hygiene," Pillai said in his message.

"He preached and practiced the values of cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation. Today Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is modelled on Gandhian principles. He wanted India to be free from the undesirable practice of untouchability. He fought for the rights of the downtrodden and weaker sections," Pillai also said.

He added that Gandhi's "legendary tools" of truth and non-violence "have inspired so many leaders across the length and breadth of the globe in their struggles against injustice".

    Total conversion of the individual, community, society, nation, and the world was dear to the heart and mind of MKG. Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, religion without sacrifice, and politics without principle - Gandhi wanted fellow human beings to reflect and act upon. Long live the memory of the inspiring thoughts, words, and deeds of the Mahatma.
