Speaker Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri said on Monday that there is a need to strengthen the Indian family system from getting disintegrated.
Speaking at a programme in the branch mutt of Ramachandrapura Mutt, Peraje near Mani in Dakshina Kannada, he said that every one should introspect on their role in strengthening the family system and why the system is getting broken.
He said that the Indian family system is a model for the world. The ancestors sustained the family system for long. Even the invaders to the country during the pre-Independence era could not destroy the family system. The strength of the family system which extends mutual cooperation, emotional support is immense. “Now are we retaining it? Each one of us should introspect,” he said.
Mr. Kageri said that young generation also required guidance on retaining human and emotional bonds with family. He said that the Vishnugupta Vishwa Vidaya Peetha opened by the mutt at Gokarna imparted value education to students.
The seer of the mutt Raghaveshwara Bharati said that simple living provided great relief in life. One has to minimise lavish spending and use some portion of the earning for social welfare activities, he said.
Bantwal MLA U. Rajesh Naik, and Minister for Fisheries, Ports and Inland Water Transport S. Angara were present on the occasion.
The ‘punaha pratistha Brahmakalashotsava’ celebrations of Sri Ram were concluded in the mutt on Monday.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
