KUMTA
“When we hold a pure heart without enmity, our mind naturally inclines toward goodness. But negativity invites distrust and even illness,” said Sri Brahmananda Saraswati Swamiji of Sri Ram Kshetra, as he blessed devotees during the Chaturmasya Vrat programme held at Vanadurga Kalyana Mantapa in Konalli, Kumta Taluk.
He added that dharma lies deep within, and praised social activist H.R. Nayak for his efforts in reviving spiritual consciousness in the region. “Religious awareness opens the door to spiritual strength,” the Swamiji remarked.
Minister Mankala Vaidya, who inaugurated the event, emphasized that faith and devotion are essential at all times and assured full government support for the Chaturmasya Vrat being observed in Konalli.
Former Minister Shivananda Nayka, Programme Coordinating Committee Chairman L. Manjunath, and several local leaders and devotees were also present at the ceremony.
