Mangaluru, Jan 19: "Worshipping of gods and goddesses depicting divine energy is the unique feature of Hinduism. Under current circumstances, our society appears to be in need of a strong moral footing and divine energy," observed union minister for skill development, Ananth Kumar Hegde.
Hegde was speaking at Vajradehi Math at Gurpur on Thursday, January 18.
"Hinduism believes in worshipping of divine energy. The gods we worship have weapons in their various hands. We too should develop the courage to stand firm in the face of challenges and energy to handle them," he stressed.
Sri Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Vajradehi Math, felt that the basic aim of one's life should be to discharge one's duty to the nation and extend protection to the society. He said that this will be possible when people move forward with the zeal of a soldier during the war, and at the same time, having sense of responsibility.
On this occasion, Anajth Kumar Hegde was felicitated by the Swamiji by presenting to him shawl, fruits, and flowers.
BJP backward morcha secretary, Satyajit Suratkal, BJP north zone president, Dr Y Bharat Shetty, and others were present.
