Jagannath Shenoy, the Managing Trustee of Mangalore Ganesh Beedi Works, was conferred the prestigious ‘Dharma Ratnakara’ award by Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Mysuru, at a programme organised at Alwar Kalabhavan in Gokulam here on Friday.

Noting that there are several personalities just like Shenoy in service of the society, he said that this award must be a driving force for everyone to get involved in working for society’s welfare.

The Swamiji further said that building a healthy society would become much easier if philanthropists like Dr. Shenoy come forward for serving the society.

Speaking after receiving the award, Dr. Jagannath Shenoy said he has great love for arts.

Observing that the youth participation is key for the growth of art, literature and music, he said, as such, young artistes have been given prominence in this programme. He also stressed on the need for educating the youth on our past art and culture and what should be done in the future.

Stating that everyone has to do religious work in keeping with the phrase ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha…,’ he said that a good mind is vital for doing a good work. The blessings of parents and Gurus is essential for taking forward our rich legacy of heritage and culture, he added.
