Sharana Sahitya Sammelan concludes

Mysuru :

“To enable social justice to reach the lowest strata of society, the essence of Vachana Sahitya should be imbibed into legislature, administration and judiciary” said H.N. Nagamohan Das, retired High Court Judge.

He was speaking at the valedictory of the second Sharana Sahitya Sammelan organised by Akhila Bharat Sharana Sahitya Parishat at Kalamandira here yesterday.

Nagamohan Das pointed out that there was a wide difference between caste and religion and social reformers always struggled to evolve a healthy society by eradicating the concept of caste, race and gender. He regretted that casteism was still very much prevalent in society to cash in on by vested interests. He added that illiteracy and superstition too were contributing to spoilage of health of society.

Basavasri award was presented to Dr. B.N. Chandraiah, Senior litterateur, Dr.C. Naganna, Director, Prasaranga, University of Mysore and Shanta Jagadish, Singer.

Suttur Seer Sri Shivaratri Deshikendra Swamiji graced the occasion. Minister for Co-operation H.S. Mahadevaprasad, MLA Vasu, Retired Government Secretary Dr. C. Somashekar, former MLC Thontadarya, Parishat Vice-President Chandrakanth Bellad, City wing President G.R. Parameshwarappa and others were present.
