Uppinangady, Sept 8: “We need not to do anything to ‘protect’ our religion. Instead, if we tread the religious path, the religion itself will protect us,” said Esha Vittaladas Swami, the chief pontiff of Kemaru Sandeepani Sadhana Ashrama.
He was speaking at the goodwill programme to mark the launching ceremony of the K M Shafi Memorial Public Library and Shanti Centre established by the local unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) at Uppinangdy on Friday (Sept 7).
He said that one should first correct himself by adopting religious values and doing noble works rather than resorting to ignoble actions in the name of protecting religion.
“Serving the needy and poor is a religious act. Violence and conflicts are not propagated by religion. But, one has to gain proper knowledge to realize this fact,” he said hoping that the newly launched library may do the work of providing useful knowledge to the local people.
Dr Abdul Majeed, a Mangaluru based surgeon and honorary president of Ayisha Educational Trust, said that reading good books will help us build a peaceful society and achieve unity in diversity.
Mohammed Kunhi, Manager of Shanti Prakashana, Divakar Acharya, President of Uppinangady Rotary Club, Abdussalam U of JIH, Aravind Chokkadi, Kannada writer and Fr Abel Lobo spoke on the occasion.
Ameen Ahsan Sayeed of JIH welcomed. Abdul Haseeb recited Quranic verses in the beginning. Jaleel Mukri compered the programme. Dr Raghu, Syndicate Member, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences was present among others.

All religion you specified above will go to hell fire...only religion excepted in front of GOD is ISLAM..
Christianity worship Phophet Issa, which is ok in one point which will reduce there punishment in hell, above that they woship idol of prophet which is major sin as per GOD
Hinduism worship many stone and even di@k (linga) as well as animal shit. one of the dirtiest and worst religion in front of GOD
Buddhism & Sikhism they too worship idol which is major sin in front of GOD
Jainism biggest worst culture they even roam naked in front of public..worst religion in front of GOD.
ISLAM is the one and only pure religion...only bow down to ALLAH the unseen god.he is the master of universe...No idol no foolish culture.
dont say islam spread terrorism, the biggest terriorst in the world is America but no one say christen terrorist...you know why..they wear black suit & tie & bomb innocent people country and kill them (one of the cowards act of mordern soldier) if some one fought back with old rated rifle wearing kudtha & paijam with beard in his face then they called them as terror..
Well said swamiji. Follow any peaceful religion like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism. But if people follow a religion which offers you 4+72 for killing a kaafir, then the world be destroyed!
Swamijis like Kemaru should be a bit careful while speaking the truth. Shiroor seer had to lose his life after exposing other swamijis.
Good message Swamiji. Hope the so called saviors of religion correct themselves and save the religion from their own action.
