Udupi, Mar 12: Sant Achuta Das, Harikatha exponent, urged the people to learn more and more towards spirituality and imbibe it as a way of life. This helps people to live a contented and fulfilled life, he narrated.

Speaking after inaugurating the religious convention and felicitation of donors organized at Shirva Goddess Mahalasa Narayani temple near here on the occasion of the 25th re-consecration anniversary of the temple on Tuesday March 10, Achuta Das sought to dismiss the notion that spirituality is a dry subject fit only for the ascetics. "As long as we get too much carried away by the worldly affairs and seek external comforts, we remain deprived of a sense of fulfillment. Getting spiritually inclined gives people a sense of internal peace, self-satisfacation and detachment from unnecessary worries," he explained.

Temple governing council president N Kodanda Sheoy, secretary Chidanand Pai, treasurer T Devadas Pai and others were present. On the occasion, Achuta Das honoured various donors. After the conclusion of the convention, Ranga Pooje and other programmes were held.
