| Shaivism should be revived: Karan Singh | | |
NEW DELHI: Underlining the need for reviving studies in Kashmir Shaivism, former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Karan Singh on Saturday said he has requested the Mata Vaishno Devi University to start a new course on the religious way of life.
"We definitely need to revive the study of Kashmir Shaivism. I have personally urged the Mata Vaishno Devi varsity to include Kashmir Shaivism as a special course," Singh, who is also former chancellor of Jammu and Kashmir University, said during the inaugural function of a two-day seminar on Kashmir Shaivism here.
"For the last 17 years, Kashmiri Pandits have been living as refugees in their own country. In such times, the teachings of great spiritual saints from Kashmir like Lakshman Joo Maharaj need to be spread," he said.
Eminent jurist L M Singhvi emphasised the need for publishing the original literature on Kashmir Shaivism.
"More authentic study, publication work and research should be done on Kashmir Shaivism," he said.
The Iswar Ashram Trust is already transcripting the audio and visual recordings of the original discourses of Kashmiri saints for research work. |
