Terrorism in the name of religion cannot be accepted. Coordination of all religions will help in preserving harmony in society and thereby people may lead a harmonious life, he said.
Lauding the social services of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, Karajagi said the temple has turned into a centre of religious integration because of the efforts of dharmadhikari D Veerendra Heggade.

Instability in religious, economic and social spheres could pose a challenge to religion but Dharmastala succeeded in overcoming such challenges even during the Covid-19 pandemic, he added.
