SIVAGIRI: Sri Narayana Guru’s vision and knowledge beats time and boundaries, says Governor P. Sadasivam. He was talking after inaugurating the convention-which marked the start of annual Sivagiri Pilgrimage.
“Sree Narayana Guru’s visions are relevant in any social situation. It’s a blend of Buddha’s Ahimsa, brotherhood of Nabi and spirituality of many great scholars. The increasing popularity of Sivagiri Pilgrimage is proof of Guru’s relevance. The ten days of vrat proposed by Sri Narayana Guru for pilgrims is a grand perspective. This is based on the purity of mind, body and speech. Guru proclaimed ‘no caste’ to oppose discriminations based on caste. Sivagiri pilgrimage is a journey to attain knowledge. When the educated youth of today make use of job opportunities, we understand how Guru influenced the society back then”, Sadasivam said.
