Kundapur, May 18: “The poverty in India has reduced compared to the past. Society will progress only if individuals wipe out poverty from hearts,” said Dr D Veerendra Heggade of Shree Kshetra Dharmasthala.

He was addressing a religious meet held to mark the Basrur Mahathobara Mahalingeshwara Temple renovation and Bramakalshostava programme on Friday May 17.

“Culture lies at the base of devotion, dedication, peace, and health. We should accept the social changes through positive thoughts. Society will stand along with us when we cultivate altruistic tendencies. We can achieve progress only if we control the qualities of ‘Dharma’, ‘Artha’, and ‘Kama’. Discipline in business and the right use of money helps an individual understand the essence of religion,” he said.

He also added that when we do any work we should know its vision, knowledge, eligibility, and stature. “God exists where there is mental peace and physical relaxation,” he added.    

“In the undivided districts, renovation of Shiva temples is going on. This became helpful through the Rural Development Projects,” said B Annappa Hegde, administrator of the temple. Suresh D Padukone was the chief guest.

On this occasion businessman V K Mohan, M V Bangera, donor, Vinaya Murali, Harish Padiyar and brothers were present on this occasion.  

Usha Nisha prayed, B Rajendra presented the introductory speech and welcomed, Dinakar Shetty compered. Narasimha Poojary thanked.
