Mangaluru: Women have been respected since the Vedic times. Lord Krishna has said in the Bhagavad Gita that I am the glory and forgiveness of women. In the Das Mahavidya, the Goddess has shown that her power is needed. Therefore, women should awaken their spiritual power and achieve, said renowned columnist, film actress, film director, and social worker Roopa Iyer.
He delivered the keynote address at a program held at the Mangalore Town Hall on Saturday, March 8, to honor bravery in the name of valor organized by the Tapasya Foundation in collaboration with Lions International District 317, IDFC First Bank, and BANMS Mangalore Taluk Samiti Women’s Unit.
Not only are women being aggrieved in society, but even gods and goddesses are being aggrieved, and men are also being aggrieved. Therefore, if we continue to compete for superiority, there will be no solution to the aggrieved. There are people in society who have overcome many difficulties and achieved success. Anyone can achieve success. There are always those who discourage those who work for the society. Regardless of all this, if you prove to God that He is your strength and achieve, you will definitely get good results, said Rupa Iyer.
Inaugurating the program by lighting the lamp, Lion District Governor 317 D. District Governor L| Bharathi B.M. said that a woman is the security of the entire family through her hard work, care and sacrifice. He wished such women a happy International Women’s Day. Cancer patients are being cared for and treated through the Tapasya Foundation. He said that an organization that serves such patients needs to be given a helping hand with heart, mind and money.
With the motto "Childhood cancer is curable" and to create awareness in the society, they traveled from Mumbai to Mangalore in just 23 days.
