Mysore/Mysuru: Udupi Pejawar Mutt Seer Sri Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji has appealed to the violence-hit people of Manipur State to maintain peace and prosperity. If required, the Swamiji has also expressed his readiness to intermediate for talks and settlement for the betterment of the State.
In a press release, the Swamiji has stated: “We are very much pained about the development of violence in these days in Manipur, an undivided part of our country. These types of peculiar developments should not happen particularly in India, the country which very effectively taught non-violence mantra to the world. It amounts to an insult that we are committing to the land, which has given us livelihood. It may be observed from the entire history of the world that nothing was achieved by any country from these types of violence attacks and atrocities. Our Ramayana and Mahabharata have vociferously stated these aspects.”
“What are we going to achieve from these troubles and violence born out of some difference of opinion between two communities, living since long in the land of Manipur. Have you ever thought what message we are going to give to our future generation? As stated by Lord Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita that if we resort to resentment, we lose our sense and in turn becomes reason for destruction of all of us. Therefore, the leaders of the communities engaged in fighting, very patiently think and analysis as to whether these destructive developments are necessary at all? What pride can be derived by attacking and torturing one or one community and destructing public properties? Whether this pride is permanent?,” Sri Swamiji has asked.
