Beltangady, Nov 22, 2014: The living for self is not worth. True life lies in living for others. The moral values and good cultural upbringing is the essence of every religion, said Karnataka Governor Vajubai.

 

The Governor Vajubai was speaking after inaugurating eighty-second All religious convention held at Amrutavarshini auditorium of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, here on Friday November 21. The convention was organized as part of Lakshadeepotsav.  

 

‘Everyone is bestowed with a force, while religion brings it to fore. If we live righteous life in our day-to-day living, then only we can advise others. We got to be truthful to be on righteous path. If our daily living is based on righteousness, we are likely to lead peaceful and happy lives. The religious aims at punishing the evil and saving the righteous,’ said Governor Vajubai.

 

There should not be conflict between mind and conscience. In that case, we got to follow the conscience. One should not go after wealth, power, too much happiness and lust. We got to be righteous to get the right to correct others. One got to do charity and good deeds without expecting anything in return. Being humane, keeping away from sin can lead us to eternity, added Governor Vajubai.

 

 

 

Parents should bring up children well cultured

There cannot be equality among men and women. The women got to be ahead of men, that is why they are called mother and father. The mothers should bring up their children well cultured like Mahatma Gandhi, Shivaji, Buddha, and Krishna. The mothers have the topmost duties to grow their children well cultured along with education. If the women leads men, it would lead to healthy society, said Governor Vajubai.

 

Religious sustains society: Veerendra Heggade

Religion enables the mankind to work for common good. If we uphold religiousness it will save us. If we shun religion, we are likely to be perished, said Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade.

 

Hinduism is an ancient religion, while its Holy Scriptures shed light on the righteous living. Those who follow religion are likely to live worthy lives, added Veerendra Heggade.

 

Swami Nirmalanandanat of Adichunchanagiri mutt in his presidential address said that India is the abode of many religions. The religions bring light and energy into people’s lives. The religion should foster brotherhood and trust and not conflict. The religion cleanses the soul. The youth got to be informed of righteous living as propagated by the religion.India has given science and maths besides religion to the world, said Swami Nirmalanandanat.

 

‘God is one, but called by different names. Despite this, God blesses everyone who worships. All religious of this world propagate human virtues and moral living,’ said Swami Nirmalanandanat.
