Udupi, Dec 12: "It’s the duty of every Hindu to protect one of the world’s most ancient religions, Hinduism. United effort is needed to achieve the task and also to fight against the communal forces in the society," said Swami Kalahastendra Saraswati of Anegundi Mutt.
He was addressing a gathering of devotees during the Hindu Samajotsava and Hanumad Shakti Jagaran Yajna held in front of Hosamarigudi Temple, Kaup, on Sunday December 12. It was organized for the first time by Hanumad Shakti Janagaran Samiti, Kaup.
RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, in his keynote address, said that every Hindu in the country aspires to build the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. "Thousands of Hindu brethren are uniting for the cause of building the Ram Mandir and there are attempts by others to thwart this," he said.
"Women play a vital role in the Hindu community in educating the youth in safeguarding the interest of Hinduism," he said, and also urged the gathering to support a party that advocates Hindutva.
Swami Sugunendrateertha of Puttige Mutt inaugurated the Yajna which was followed by a ‘Shobha Yatra’ attended by thousands of devotees who arrived from Hejamady, Padubidri, Shirva, Mudarangady, Kaup, Katpady and neighbouring villages. Free food was offered to the devotees on the occasion.
