Daijiworld Media Network – Sullia (SP)
Sullia, Jan 21: “Our country is being looted not by any foreigners, but by own politicians, who are ruling our country. None of the politicians are bothered about the spiraling prices that have made the lives of the common people miserable. None of the political parties have an agenda that concerns the protection of the country. This is deplorable,” said Sri Mohandas Swamiji of Sridhama Manila.
He was addressing the ‘Hindu Dharma Jagruti Samavesha’ held by Hindu Dharma Jagruti Samiti in front of Lord Chennakeshava temple here on the evening of Wednesday January 20.
“How many parents send their children to Gurukuls for giving them knowledge about their religion, apart from making them aware of the belief systems and practices associated with it? Do we teach our children at least the basic rationale and beliefs of Hinduism? There is a need to hand over the invaluable wealth of the essence of our religion to the next generation,” he argued.
Kuntar Ravish Tantri lamented that Hindus, in spite of being a big community, has not been doing anything to repulse the attack on it, that is going on ceaselessly.
Pramukh of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Mohan Gowda, pointed out that the state governments headed by the BJP have also failed to protect the interests of the Hindus. He claimed that 300 temples have been attacked in Gujarat during the tenure of Narendra Modi, while in Karnataka, religious bigots desecrated 12 temples. “The government has failed to arrest the culprits. Evn in the state muzrai department, corrupt and unethical people have been placed in strategic positions,” he said.
Dharmashakti Sene leader, Ravindra Kamat, and Ranaragini Sangeeta Prabhu, also addressed the gathering.
Sri Yogeshwarananda Swamiji of Ajjavara Sri Chaitanyashram, managing trustee of Aivarnad Panchalingeshwara temple, Paleppady Ganapaiah Bhat and managing trustee of Lord Chennakeshava temple, Dr Hariprasad Turiyadka, were present.
