Religious institutions and swamijis have a major role in ensuring peace in society and spreading the importance of co-existence, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
He was speaking at Sri Sharada Lakshminrusimha Peeta at Hariharapura in Koppa taluk of Chikkamagaluru district on Tuesday, while taking part in the mahakumbhabhisheka that began on April 10.
Lauding the activities of the mutt, Mr. Bommai said he took part in the event not as Chief Minister, but as a devotee. “I am happy to know about activities of seer Swayamprakash Sachchidananda Saraswathi of the mutt. He has been spreading the message about the importance of unity”, he said.
