Rio de Janeiro/New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was treated to a presentation of the Ramayana in Sanskrit in Rio de Janeiro, performed by students of a Brazilian organisation dedicated to promoting Vedanta and Sanskrit.

The PM said in a post on X that he met Jonas Masetti and his team who gave the performance.

Masetti and his team had also chanted Sanskrit shlokas during the PM’s arrival in Rio de Janeiro.

“Met Jonas Masetti and his team. I had mentioned him during one of the #MannKiBaat programmes for his passion towards Vedanta and the Gita. His team presented glimpses of the Ramayan in Sanskrit. It is commendable how Indian culture is making an impact all over the world.”

The MEA spokesperson said:

“Celebrating cultural and spiritual connections!

“During his visit to Brazil, the Prime Minister witnessed a presentation of the Ramayana performed by the students of Vishwa Vidya, a Brazilian organization dedicated to promoting Vedanta and Sanskrit. The founder of Vishwa Vidya, Jonas Masseti (also known as Vishwanath), welcomed the Prime Minister in Sanskrit.

“The Vishwa Vidya group had yesterday performed Vedic chants and welcomed the Prime Minister upon his arrival at the hotel in Rio de Janeiro.”

Masetti is a traditional Vedanta teacher who quit a successful career on the stock market in search for answers for his own spiritual well-being.

Masetti, a mechanical engineer, pursued 12 years of study of Yoga and Meditation. Later, he went to an ashram in South India where he lived for four years with his professor Swami Dayananda and graduated as a traditional Vedanta Teacher.

Besides Vedanta (Philosophy of the Vedas), Prof Jonas is also an expert in Meditation, Sanskrit and Kung Fu, a website says.
