Mangalore, Jun 7: “The Lord decides upon the fruits we deserve to get, in accordance with the work we do and duties we discharge. He keeps watching what we do or say. To be able to gain divine grace and get good fruits for our labour, one should always stick to righteousness and do only what is right,” advised Sri Bharatiteertha Swamiji of Sringeri Sharada Peetha. He was delivering the benedictory address during his visit to Lord Gopalakrishna temple in Shaktinagar, on the outskirts of the city on Sunday June 6.
“Our eligibility to be conferred with status, power or riches, is decided by the extent of divine grace we earn. One should cultivate the habit to be dispassionate, and condition his or her mind to accept happiness and sorrow without any undue elation or worries. Nursing of enmity and egotism will not take you anywhere. On the other hand, love can win over anyone and anything,” he preached.
The Swamiji said that the life of a human gets sanctified when he regularly keeps worshipping the Almighty with a sense of total faith, reverence and devotion. “Indians have always been known to be theists since times immemorial. We should continue to be so,” he exhorted.
Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister, J Krishna Palemar, MLA, N Yogish Bhat, inspector general of police (western range), Gopal Hosur, Corporation Bank chairman, J M Garg, general manager, B R Bhat, former MLC, Balakrishna Bhat etc., were present.
Lord Gopalakrishna Temple managing trustee, K C Naik, welcomed. Administrator, Krishnakumar, proposed vote of thanks.
