n the present day,violence and militancy are happening in the name of religion and the mind of those who are involved in such activities has to be changed,and that can be done only by the religious leaders,said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking after inaugurating Sri Jagadguru Renukacharya Jayanthi Yugamanotsava,Sri Veerabhdraswamy Maharathotsava,and the foundation stone for the 51-foot tall statue of Sri Renukacharya here on Sunday,he said it is lucky that they have Rambhapuri in South India just like the Kashi in North India.
The preachings,ideology,and culture of Jagadguru Renukacharya are a strong foundation for a bright future.
The pontiff always propagated the ‘Manava Dharma’ saying that those who tread the path of truth and act to their conscience are the real human beings.
The Siddartha Shikamani shows several ways to keep their mind in control.They must adopt these two in their lives.
The seers are undertaking the campaign continuously to remove differences among the castes and communities,and for the establishment of social harmony.
The CM said Sri Jagadguru is playing an important role in creating awareness about the religion.The former CM, B.S.Yediyurappa, irrespective of caste or community,released the grants to the Rambhapuri Peet, Kaginele Gurupeeta,development of Baada (the birthplace of Saint Kanakadasa),Rs.40 crore for Haj Bhavan.
The mutts are offering shelter,food,and education to the children.This has helped in the development of the state.
World peace through religion
Bommai said everyone must understand that it is possible to ensure world peace only through religion. The need of the hour is to build an equal society.
It is a matter of happiness that the Jagadguru Renukacharya award has been presented to Yediyurappa in recognition of his contribution to the people.
Dr.Veerasomeshwara Rajadeshikendra Shivacharya Swamiji,Union Minister,Pralhad Joshi,former CM, Yediyurappa,Minister,C.C.Patil,and the CM’s political secretary D.N.Jeevaraj were present.
