Satyamitrananda Giri
“THE Indian culture developed and flourished in forests only and not in the cities. The simple life of forest dwellers helped them live with complete harmony of the Nature. Even the Gods like Lord Ram and others lived with such people in the forests,” said noted saint and founder of Bharatmata Mandir, Haridwar, Swami Satyamitrananda Giri. He was speaking at a function organised in Udiapur on January 6. The function was organised by Rajasthan Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad. Vice Chancellor of Makhanlal Chaturvedi Patrakarita University Prof Brijkishore Kuthiala was the chief guest.
Swami Satyamitrananda Giri further said environment cannot be protected without the Vanvasis, because they take as much only from the forests as they need. The modern society need to draw inspiration from these people. The people living in urban areas must live in the forest at least once a year to enjoy the real life and also to see how the Vanvasis live there. He called upon the people of Rajasthan to contribute generously for the activities of the Kalyan Parishad.
Prof Kuthiala said the Vanvasis are very much part and parcel of the Hindu society. Shri JP Agrawal presided over the function. (FOC)
