Sullia, Dec 14: “Our ancient religion has always given uppermost importance to righteousness. We have always treated people from all religions as equals. Hindus provided shelter to people from other religions, who came into their country. Now the same people have been trying to crush Hindus. Unless we wake up to the prevailing situation, we will be betraying our religion,” said Sri Vidyaprasannateertha Swamiji of Subrahmanya Mutt.
