Udupi, Feb 25, 2014 : The wealth and knowledge cannot be together.  If one is blessed with knowledge, he may not have wealth..!  If one uses his knowledge to serve the humanity without partiality, one would get eternal reward.  One has to chant Gayatri mantra daily, because it focuses ones energy towards shaping the future. Brahmans got to strive to sustain it, said Swami Vishwapriya of Adamar mutt.

 

 
Swami Vishwapriya was speaking during the valedictory of silver jubilee celebrations of Giri Balaga – Kunjarugiri,at Giridhama, Kunjarugiri, near here on Sunday February 23.

 

 
Swami Vishwapriya further said, ‘One is inclined to donate when he/she is attracted to the divinity in that individual.

 
Swami Vishwavallaba of Sode mutt said that the members of Giri Balaga have the responsibilities to take the organization to greater heights in humanitarian deeds.
 
 
If Brahmans shirked who would reform the society..? Captain Ganesh Karnik

 

 
Brahman community thrived on Indian cultural splendor.   Indian community has been divided on the basis of caste, creed, religion, linguist, region, minority and majority, sub sects, clans etc.  Only traditional practices are not religion.  There have been no efforts in finding scientific reasons behind ancient traditions.  One has failed to identify God’s abundances in our families. The need of the hour for Brahmans is to take active role in societal activities to reform the society.  If Brahmans forgot their duties who would reform the society….? said Captain Ganesh Karnik.
