| Spirituality leads to emancipation: Rana | | |  Early Times Report
AKHNOOR, Feb 23- Underscoring the importance of spirituality or salvation in attaining emancipation, National Conference Provincial President Mr Devender Singh Rana today called for imbibing knowledge and inculcating the spirit of devotion to lead a successful and harmonious life. "Once human beings know the self, they will love others and let them live with dignity and honour", Mr Rana said while interacting with devotees from the Jammu region and the neighbouring states like Rajasthan at a religious congregation held at historic and ancient Kameshwar Temple here this afternoon.
The congregation was held at the culmination of the week-long Bhagwat Katha Saptah and Rudra Yagya, organised as part of Mahashivratri festivities at the historic Kameshwar temple.
Rana joined Maha Mandleshwar Mahant Rameshwar Dass ji Maharaj of Purani Mandi, Jammu and Mahant Dr Satyanaryan Dass ji and offered Puran Ahuti at the Mahayagya.
Besides a large number of devotees, leaders and former legislators of various political parties, spiritual and religious leaders and a large number of locals were present in the congregation. Devender Singh Rana greeted the devotees on Mahashivratri and prayed for peace and universal brotherhood, the cherished ideals of Sanaatan Dharm. In his religious discourse, the Mahant Ji dwelt upon the history of the Kameshwar Mandir in Akhnoor, which is believed to be about 5500 year old and belongs to the era of the Pandavas. This temple is thronged by people especially on the Vishva Karma Day. The " Pindis" present in there date back to 5500 years and the records of these Pindis are present even in Shiv Maha Puran.
Later Rana also paid obeisance at Shiv Temple, Panjgrian and Bajalta. |
