PATHANAMTHITTA: The eight-day 104th Ayroor-Cherukolppuzha Hindu convention began on the sand-bed of Pampa river at Ayroor Vidhyadhiraja Nagar on Sunday. Inaugurating the convention, Mahamandaleswar Swami Divyananda Saraswathi of Rishikesh Kalasa Ashramam called for reaching out to the God for attaining the ultimate goal of solitude.
For achieving the goal, people should surrender everything before the God, Swami Divyananda Saraswathi said. “In the world, contradictions and disparities in society are common and are the creations of the God,” the seer said.
“People should live with it and achieve the ultimate goal of Moksha through self-realisation and surrender before the God,” Swami Divyananda said. “People should surrender before the God without any pre-condition and pure and with open mind,” the seer said. “Every object in the world have the right to live and people should realise the worldly truth,” Swami Divyananda said.
“People should understand the feelings of others and offer help to the needy,” the seer said. Delivering the presidential speech, former Union Minister O Rajagopal called for an early end to degradation of values in society. Society is facing serious erosion in ethical and moral values in all fields of social life, including political life, Rajagopal said.
