SUMMARY
- Rishi Sunak attended a ‘Ram Katha’ by spiritual preacher Morari Bapu
- Sunak said he was there not as a prime minister but as a Hindu
- In a video, Sunak is seen making salutations of ‘Jai Siya Ram’
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday attended a ‘Ram Katha’ by spiritual preacher Morari Bapu organised at the Cambridge University campus. Sunak turned up as Murari Bapu’s katha was concluding. He said he was there not as a prime minister but as a Hindu.
“It is truly an honour and pleasure to be here today at Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha at the University of Cambridge on Indian Independence Day,” he said. “Bapu, I am here today not as a prime minister but as a Hindu!”
The Indian-origin British Prime Minister said that for him, faith was very personal, and it guides him in every aspect of his life. In a video of the event, Sunak is also seen making salutations of ‘Jai Siya Ram’.
The UK PM referred to a portrait of Lord Hanuman that featured in the background on the stage and said: “Just like Bapu has a Golden Hanuman in his background, I am proud that a Golden Ganesha sits gleefully on my desk at 10 Downing Street.”
Sunak said that he was proud to be British and Hindu before calling his childhood in South Hampton where he visited his neighbourhood temple with his siblings.
In his concluding remark, Sunak said Lord Ram would always be an inspirational figure for him. “I leave here today remembering the Ramayana that Bapu speaks on, but also the Bhagavad Gita and the Hanuman Chalisa. And for me, Lord Ram will always be an inspirational figure to face life’s challenges with courage, to govern with humility, and to work selflessly.”
In the end, Sunak participated in an aarti on stage. Morari Bapu presented him with a consecrated Shivlinga from the Somnath temple as a sacred offering from the Jyotirlinga Ram Katha Yatra.

Beginning his address with the chant “Jai Siya Ram,” PM Sunak expressed his honor to be present at Morari Bapu’s Ram Katha on Indian Independence Day.
Moreover, while speaking of the challenges of his role as Prime Minister, Sunak noted, “There are difficult decisions to make. Hard choices to confront. And our faith gives me courage, strength and resilience to do the best I can for our country,” Sunak said. “Bapu with your blessings, I aspire to lead in equivalence with how our scriptures have taught leaders to lead,” Sunak said.
He also sought blessings from Morari Bapu, stating, “Bapu with your blessings, I aspire to lead in equivalence with how our scriptures have taught leaders to lead.”
Drawing parallels with Morari Bapu’s events, Sunak spoke of the presence of a golden statue of Lord Hanuman in the background and revealed that he has a golden statue of Lord Ganesh on his desk at 10 Downing Street.
He noted that Lord Ganesh’s presence serves as a constant reminder for him to listen, reflect, and act thoughtfully.
“It (Lord Ganesh’s golden statue) is a constant reminder to me of the importance of listening and reflecting on issues before acting. I am proud to be British. Proud to be Hindu,” Rishi Sunak said.
Reflecting on his upbringing, Sunak shared his fond memories of attending local religious ceremonies with his family. UK PM also disclosed that he not only follows the Ramayana but also engages with other spiritual texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Hanuman Chalisa. He left the event with a sense of connection to these texts.
Sunak, lastly, thanked his parents and grandparents for their efforts, acknowledging that his generation’s accomplishments are built upon their contributions.
