Kannadigas, Tamilians, kids of Cauvery
Cauvery Jagruti Theerthayathre begins
Kannadigas and Tamilians are like twin children for Cauvery river, which is the lifeline of the district and both the States.
By bringing them together, it spreads the message of harmony among the two states, said Pejawar Seer Vishweshatheertha Swamiji.
Speaking after flagging off ‘Mathe Sri Cauvery Jagruthi Theerthayathre’ at Bhagamandala on Sunday, he said the yathre aims at spreading the message on sanctity of river Cauvery and to create awareness to check pollution of the river.
The yathre commences from Talacauvery and will conclude at Poombukar in Tamilnadu, the estuary where the river Cauvery joins the sea. The embellished chariot will travel 765 km spreading the message of unity and integrity.
The yathre was organised by Akhila Bharatha Sanyasigala Sangha of Rameshwaram, said state convenor Sadashiva.
Senior Journalist G Rajendra said about 40 sages and saints will take part in the yathre. Zilla Panchayat President SHantheyanda Ravi Kushalappa, Bhagamandala ZP member S N Rajarao, Additional DC K M Chandre Gowda and others were present.
Pejawar Seer Vishweshatheertha Swamiji said that there was nothing wrong in seers visiting former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa in jail. He said “visiting prisoner in the jail or in the hospital is just an attempt to reform them.”
