See how freely the speech flows. It does not happen by memorising or reading. He lives these thoughts. Have never heard this kind of free flow from any leader in the world.

I'm surprised with the eloquence and ease that the prime minister described this rather complex philosophy. He must have been a practicing and following the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother for a lot of years it seems or was he reading the speech out from the small screens usually placed near the podium? Kindly let me know if he did. nevertheless an impressive speech nonetheless.
