Homam performed for environment conservation

A programme initiated by the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust in association with PB Siddhartha Arts and Science College and United Religions Initiative, ‘Vandey Bhoo Mataram’ was held in the city on Monday. The trustees and the management of the College had organised a puja homam called ‘Bhoo Suktha Homam’ at Lord Venkateswara Swami temple near Patamata, to please the mother earth and evoke blessings. Post this, a talk conservation of the planet was held at the College’s auditorium.

Chairman of the trust SAR Prasanna Venkatachari Chaturvedi Swami addressed the gathering and spoke about the importance of conserving planet earth and to contribute to its conservation. He said that humans among other living beings are blessed with senses and they should utilise natural resources for their need than to destroy them for greed.

Our ancient people and their civilisation are the best example of how human life should depend on earth and natural products. Increasing usage of technology is generating heavy metal waste that is hazardous to the earth. It is our responsibility to preserve the available resources and forward it to the future, he added.

Trustee Varadan Chandar, representative of United Religions Initiative, Kiran Bali also spoke on the occasion. College director V Babu Rao, principal M V N Padma Rao, Academic Officer M Ramesh, faculty and students were present during the programme.
