Thiruvananthapuram : Sree Narayana Guru, in his lifetime made interventions taking into account the societal features existing at the time, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurating the 89th Sivagiri Theerthadanam(pilgrimage) Thursday. Guru’s messages must be reached out to the people at large and not remembered for only on occasion of Theerthadanam. Guru’s greatness must constantly be brought to mind. A man's caste is his humaneness , said CM. Some are attempting to depict Guru as person of just one particular community. It would be good to recall Guru said religions must not fight among themselves, said CM
The light shone by Guru transformed times. The essence of Guru message was love of humanity. Guru clarified a man’s caste was his humanness. Guru’s messages hold huge significance in present times. People in denial of Guru’s messages existed then and now, said CM.
This government aims for a society where there is no inequality. The government priority is to render quality education and livelihood for all. The government has been successful in strengthening the public education system and is curently endeavouring to revamp higher education sector. The Sreenarayana Guru Open University was started toward this goal, said CM.
