Sanatan Dharma preaches equality for all

Madikeri, Feb. 16: Sanatan Hindu Dharma is a religion that transcends caste and class and advocates the principle of equality for all, said State Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar in Madikeri. He was speaking while inaugurating the Mahashivratri festival held at the Sri Rajarajeshwari Temple in Ukkuda, Madikeri on Sunday. “Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has written the same thing in the Indian Constitution. Hinduism teaches “treat all people as brothers”. Sanatan Hinduism is more than 5,000 years old. The influence of Shiva is even older. Everyone should be under the same basic principle. However, it is unfortunate that the basic principle of equality has been abandoned and categorization has been going on. He lamented that it is unfortunate that we are all one. He called for us to move forward with the attitude that we are all one. I am a worshipper of Shiva. My family’s god is Shiva, he exists as Gangadhareshwar in Shiva Ganga and since the mythological times, when ghee is placed on that Shivalinga, it turns into butter in 5 minutes. It is special that that power continues even now, he analyzed. The wedding day of Parvati-Parameshwara is also called Shivaratri. During the Amrita Matha, Shiva saved the world by consuming Halahala poison. It is also said that this is the case. Parameshwara expressed confidence that if Shiva is inclined, there is no fear. The role of the Trinity is great in Hinduism. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the preserver and Shiva punishes those who do bad things. He is watching our actions and words. Shiva generally protects devotees and destroys evil spirits, he opined. The temple's Dharmadarshi Govinda Swamy presided over the function. MLA MantarÀGowda and “Shakti” editor-in-chief G. Rajendra spoke.
