Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the golden jubilee of Sree Narayana Dharma Meemamsa Parishad by lighting lamp at Sivagiri Mutt at Varkala in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.


I am proud to be associated with RSS: Narendra Modi 

 Narendra Modi  said that he was proud of the fact that he has had a long association with the RSS. Addressing the crowd at Sree Narayana Mutt at nearby Sivagiri Modi said, “I am proud of the fact that I have been associated with RSS. I have imbibed good values from the RSS.” He also said that he had place for everyone in his heart. Modi devoted most of his speech to the role played by spiritual leaders like Sree Narayana Guru in preparing the ground for the national movement and freedom struggle, saying if their ideals had been fully carried out, many problems faced by the country now could have been resolved. Stating that India today is a "youthful" country where 65 per cent of the population is aged under 35, he said this factor is the nation's biggest asset for it to forge ahead.
                                                                                                                               


Sivagiri cannot be communalized, says Chandy 

Nobody can communalize Sivagiri, said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. The teachings of Sree Narayana Guru are gaining importance in the state. Chandy said this while replying to questions in connection with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state. Chandy said that he is not responding much on the visit of Modi. The nobility and importance of Sivagiri will not be blemished by Modi’s visit. There is nothing wrong in Shibu Baby John visiting Modi. I don’t agree with the campaign that the visit was to know about the Gujarat Model. In reply to a question, Chandy said there is nothing to learn from Gujarat.
