Talakaveri, Oct. 24: Saints and saints are spreading the message of protecting Cauvery by flagging off the 15th annual Cauvery Awareness Rath Yatra from Talakaveri, the source of Cauvery.
With the aim of a clean Cauvery, the Cauvery River Cleanliness Movement Committee, the All India Sanyasi Sangha, the Cauvery River Water Protection Trust, the Cauvery River Seva Trust and Namami Cauvery under the auspices of the Kaveri River Water Protection Trust, the Kaveri River Seva Trust and Namami Cauvery, in collaboration with Jagadguru Sri Jayendra Puri Swamiji of Kailash Ashram, Bangalore, flagged off the yatra from Talakaveri to Poomphar.
Later, Jagadguru Sri Jayendra Puri Swamiji said that governments should take special care of the protection of rivers in the country. The protection of rivers should be the priority of the government, regardless of whether it is Ganga or Kaveri. Those who descend into the Cauvery should voluntarily join hands in cleaning the river. He said that polluting the river is a sin.
Karnataka Kodava Sahitya and Culture Academy President Ajnikanda Mahesh Nachaiah said that everyone should join hands in the goal of river conservation and cleaning. Local administration and governments should pay attention to the cleanliness of the river banks. Rivers are the lifeblood of the country, only through this can man and wildlife survive. Natural resources should be protected. They should be made aware of the protection of Cauvery, he said.
Swami Shivaramananda, the head of the All India Sanyasi Sangha, said that it is a remarkable thing that the Yatra has been going on continuously for 15 years. Continuous work has been done to protect many rivers, including the Cauvery, which is the lifeblood of South India. Work is being done to create awareness about Cauvery in important places in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. He said that this is drawing attention to both governments, including the central government, to formulate a plan and law for river conservation.
Speaking in he introduction, M.N. Chandramohan, the state coordinator of the Cauvery River Cleanup Movement, said that the Cauvery River is being polluted at its source. The Environmental Pollution Control Board has given statistics on the deteriorating water quality. The government should wake up immediately and formulate and implement a law for river protection. He demanded that rivers be given a living status.
On this occasion, after performing special puja and performing a homa havan in the Talakaveri area, the Kaveri Tirtha was shifted to a chariot and the yatra was started. After reaching Bhagamandala, special puja was performed at the Bhagandeshwar temple and aarti was performed at the confluence with the Kaveri Maa statue.
