Udupi, 11 Sep 2013 : The society has been divided into different castes, sub castes, religions, sects, that have indeed jeopardized the original culture.  The majority of Hindu community is divided due to selfishness, egotism, jealousy and dirty politics and become minority within the community.  In order to become selfless, one should get rid of ill knowledge, wrong conceptions and keep away from evil forces.  If one lives by his inner conscience, the life will be worthwhile.  The knowledge gained through spiritual bliss is great indeed, said Vidwan Shambudas Guruji, religious head of Parashurameshwar temple, Kutyar, near here.
