“The root cause for all major problems in the country is that Hindus have forgotten ‘sanatana dharma’. If we do not have another Hindu renaissance, these problems are not going to be solved,” said Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy.
He was delivering the presidential address at the second Ananthapuri Hindu Mahasammelan at Putharikandam Maidan here on Sunday.
“In sanatana dharma, we are taught that wealth in not everything. But greed reigns today’s world.
We have become robotic. This is the reason behind rise of corruption, rape and
all evils in society,” he added.
BJP leader O Rajagopal inaugurated the Sammelan. He said that a memorandum had been submitted to the Chief Minister demanding to rename Victoria Jubilee Town (VJT) Hall after social reformer Ayyankali.
“It is a matter of shame to have the hall named after a foreign ruler and that too from a country which invaded us.
Being the 150th birth anniversary of Ayyankali, it is the most appropriate time to rename VJT hall after him,” Rajagopal said.
Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma, head of the Sree Ramadasa Ashram Swami Brahmapadananda Saraswati, P K Krishnadas, and K Rajasekharan were also present at the function.
The Parishat flag was hoisted by Swami Brahmapadananda Saraswati.
