Presenting an introductory discourse on happiness and peace of mind on the inaugural day of the 6 day spiritual festival, she said that in order to lead a peaceful life, one should control his own mind and have an economy of thoughts.

“One's mind should be able to obey one's instructions. We have to order our minds to forget the unnecessary memories, which can cause pain to us.” She added.

Stressing on the importance of cleaning the mind before meditation in order to beat stress, she said that if we do not clean our mind often, several diseases will take their toll on us.

“Collection of bad memories only leads to anger, jealousy, and hatred toward others. Finally it also spoils your happiness”, she said.

Calling upon the people to cultivate the habit of forgiveness, which can ease our prolonged mental stress within a moment, she said that anger and the desire to take revenge results in tension and unhappiness.

“Values such as trust, happiness, peace, forgiveness, which are in fact natural, have now became very rare and unnatural things such as distrust, unhappiness, violence and angry have become common. To change this phenomenon we have to change our minds first”, she suggested.

The spiritual discourse was preceded by the musical concert 'Jnana Gaana Sudha' by Puttur Narasimha Nayak and party.

A spiritual exhibition was also inaugurated on the same occasion by IGP Gopal B Hosur.

Over 700 people including Brahma Kumaris and followers participated in the spiritual discourse.

The festival will conclude with the participation of Dadi Jankiji, chief of Brahma Kumaris, at TMA Pai Convention Hall in the city on Sunday, April 25.

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 14: Amid Covid-19 lockdown,

Keralites celebrated a low key "Vishu" ,the Malayalam new year, on Tuesday, hoping that days of plenty, prosperity and peace will return.

People woke up in the early hours to see the auspicious "Vishu kani", symbolising hope, promise and fine prospects they wish to have in the year ahead.

The ritual comprises arranging on platters auspicious articles like seasonal fruits, vegetables, flower, gold and clothes which together form the first sight when the family members wake up on the Vishu day.

Normally, Keralites dressed in their traditional attire throng temples across the state.

However, this year due to the lockdown restrictions, temple visits were given a go by.

The famed Sri Krishna temple at Guruvayur and the Lord Ayyappa shrine at Sabarimala witnesses heavy rush of devotees during the vishu day.

But pilgrims were not allowed inside and only temple officials and security personnel were present for the"Vishu kani".

Rehaman, a small time trader, said very few people have come out for vishu purchases due to the restricitons.

It is fine as it is for a good cause, while Radha, a young woman said she could not celebrate the festival.

"We have no money, no job. With whatever little we have, we are celebrating the festival", she said.

87-year-old Vilasini Nambiar, a retired college professor, said vishu has visited the state during a most bewildering time.

"It should however remind us that every mountain must have its valley, desert its oasis, every storm cloud its rainbow, every night its day.

We are prepared to believe that we will overcome this misfortune", she said.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Home minister, Amit Shah, Kerala Governor, Arif Mohammed Khan and Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, were among those who greeted people on the occasion of Vishu.

Bengaluru,  Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
