New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the centenary of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India and said that it is unfortunate that some people link ‘Adhyatma’ with religion. They are very different. The Prime Minister also released special commemorative postage stamps on 100 years of Yogoda Satsang Math.
