Udupi, Nov 23: The coastal city of Udupi is all set to host three-day Dharma Sansad, an international level conference of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) from November 24 to 26. It would be inaugurated by Shivakumar Mahaswami of Siddaganga Mutt, Tumakuru, and Veerasomeshwara Rajadesikendra Shivacharya Swami, Ramabhapuri, at the Royal Gardens, here at 10 a.m. on Friday.

According to Pejawar mutt seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swami religious and traditional issues would be focused in the three-day conference. Core issues are Ayodhya, the ban on cattle slaughter and the conservation of Hinduism.

The seer said that as the issue of Ram Mandir is in court, there could be a possibility of the Central government and the Uttar Pradesh government, which is run by BJP, passing a Bill in favour of the temple.

He said, although, the country is in the third position in the export of beef, there is a need to stop cattle slaughter completely, adding that the demand to ban cattle slaughter is not new. It exists since many decades. Even during the Morarji Desai government in 1977, Vinobha Bhave demanded a ban on cow slaughter and held an indefinite hunger strike. However, there are no fruitful results for any of the protests carried out in the past.

He said the seer said that the occasion would be purely the conglomeration of Hindu saints. The seers belonging to Sikh, Buddhist, Jains and Lingayats communities will be attending the conference. Vishwa Hindu Parishat always considers all the 'dharmas' introduced by the seers in the country as a fraction of Hinduism. It is a wonderful occasion to celebrate Hinduism and protect it from the evils of untouchability and conversion, he added.

He said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will attend the conference. As many as 2,000 saints have been approached. The seer of Siddaganga Mutt Dr Shivakumar Swami will attend the inaugural ceremony.

Meanwhile, the Dharma Samsad organising committee has informed that Union minister Uma Bharati and Sadhvi Niranjana would be participating, while Sri Sri Ravishankar and Manthralaya seer Sri Shubhudendra Theertha will participate from the Day One. VHP leader Praveen Togadia, Ashok Chowgle, Raghav Reddy, Sampath Roy will participate. The 12th Dharma Samsad will be inaugurated on November 24.

The demand to make temple administration free of government control and also problems like population explosion will be discussed. In the 1969 Dharma Samsad, the main agenda was of harmony among various sects and castes in Hinduism. A podium will also be named after Narayana Guru, the seer from backward class.

Hindu Vaibhav, an expo on the various cultural and traditional facts of Hinduism, will be displayed and inaugurated on November 23.

The real issue.The hindu women are left behind because of umatched kundli. There is no job for hindu youngsters. Basic needs are high price. Only upper caste will make speech and lower caste will fight with the public where uppercaste portray the innocents as enemies of the religion. It is so easy for upper caste to make play when people listen to them and ask them to attack the innocent , who doesnt use the god given intellect and logic. The more these people fall into their trap the more they can make U play on their orders... Wake up public go with right and look for the basics in the life for job, food and other useful requirement.

It urged the Indian community to remain calm and avoid spreading of rumours amid the COVID-19 crisis.

"The Embassy also reiterates the need for the community to remain calm and avoid spreading of rumours that may create panic. It is important that social media is not used to disseminate false messages and spread hatred along communal lines that can vitiate the atmosphere," the Embassy said.

"As stated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, COVID-19 does not see race, religion, colour, caste, creed, language or borders before striking, and our response and conduct should attach primacy to unity and brotherhood," it said.

Moreover, several measures on the supply of food, medicines and other emergency assistance to Indians in need are being implemented across the Kingdom.

Bengaluru, Feb 16: Radhakrishnan V Nair embarked on a journey of exploring complex subjects and opening up the cocoon of existence that puts people in a zone of comfort. One sole mission of the book is to encourage the readers to break out of that comfort zone.

The architect by profession has a novel to his credit, 'The Cave of Freedom' that had earned him critical acclaim from Jnanpith Awardee UR Ananthamurthy. On February 13, a discussion and the reading of his book had the audience riveted to their seats.

The launch of the book on February 13 at Bangalore International Centre was presided over by Bhaskar Rao, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru, along with Vasudev Murthy, Technology Management Consultant, leadership trainer and author and Ramessh RK, an industrial designer and choir singer who read out passages from the book.

'Radhakrishnan is trying to inspire you to discover the pleasure of breaking the glass barrier along with the protagonist Dr Prateek. The story 'burst out'", said Radhakrishnan when it could not be contained any longer.

The glass ceiling saw a lot of interest from the audience present. The book includes Dr Prateek who is obsessed with saving lives in the Emergency Room (ER) as the world slept. Then on an eerie rainy night, he is kidnapped.

He struggles to come to terms with the improbability of waking up somewhere in Europe and making his serendipitous escape and being back at work the next morning - all physically impossible from the point of view of time and locality.

The glass ceiling challenges you to see tragedies and their impact on a person's mental well-being from a different perspective.

Radhakrishnan V Nair is an architect by profession and runs his Bengaluru-based firm - Archaid, the tagline of which is 'Architecture in Collaboration with Nature'.
