It is highly impossible to remove plastic usage but it is decreasing. It is hazardous to environment. It is a continuous process. It is not easy to put end to this process.
“We are going to ban single use plastics. As Ishapriya Swamiji is an engineer, Swamiji can bring changes in system. It is always better to create awareness than forcing it. Culture, Samskara, love and trust are the four pillars of a family. The Paryaya Admar Math Swamiji is supporting newness with sustaining ancient tradition. We the politicians will feel relaxed from professional pressure and private life by participating in such religious conventions.”
Speaking on the occasion, Dinesh Gundu Rao, President KPCC said, “A good beginning of any work is in itself like half done. People will not believe the words of politicians, but they do believe the words of spiritual leaders. The words of spiritual leaders will influence to their mind.
“The society has to change. Today people are getting more information by faster developing technology. It is becoming difficult to differentiate truth and lies (false) information. It is difficult to find source of information. Hence, good things are getting polluted.
“In India, people give more importance to spirituality than other things. Here, people are ready to accept everything and welcomes everyone. Others are following our religion and customs. Thus our society is stand at top rank.
“People are fighting with one another for money, power and property, but no one is ready to sacrifice or contribute to society. We should contribute something good to the society instead of fighting for the sake of money or property.”
