Suttur, May 25, 2026: “Knowing oneself is true liberation,” said Dr. M.R. Jayaram, Religious Head of Kaivara Kshetra, while delivering the valedictory address at the study camp organised by Jagadguru Sri Veerasimhasana Mahasamsthana Math, Sri Shivarathreeshwara Dharmika Datti and JSS Mahavidyapeetha at Suttur Srikshetra.
He said that experience and knowledge can be gained through the study of scriptures, while moksha is possible only through the grace and guidance of yogis. “Life becomes meaningful when one serves society selflessly,” he added.
Prof. Mallepuram G. Venkatesh, former Vice-Chancellor of Karnataka Sanskrit University, said the camp had contributed to the spiritual growth of the participants. Speaking about Viveka Chintamani by Nijaguna Shivayogi, he said the work provides answers to the inner conflicts of the mind and helps remove ignorance, creating a unique spiritual experience.
Mysuru Superintendent of Police Sri Mallikarjun Baladandi said that weapons alone cannot bring change in society, and that knowledge and science are equally important. He added that the guidance of spiritual thinkers is essential for the progress of society.
Sri H.V. Venkatesh, former President of Mysore Arak and Dye Factory, said that while the world has progressed through science and technology, spiritual awareness is vital for leading a peaceful life. Expressing concern over the younger generation falling prey to drug addiction, he said the grace and guidance of elders and gurus are important in shaping their conduct.
Retired Professor Prof. K. Anantharam said the camp had been successfully completed and noted that the roots of spiritual practice lie in Suttur Srikshetra, while its fruits have spread across the country. He said true wisdom lies in using one’s knowledge for the welfare of society and added that such camps promote the ideal of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
Sri Mallaiah Swami of Ghodageri Sri Sivananda Matha said that both the inner and outer life of a person should be pure. One must keep the body, speech and mind under control and act according to one’s words, he said. He also explained the concepts of Kriya Shakti, Matrutva Shakti, Maheshwara Shakti and Sadashiva Shakti, along with references to Krita Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga from the eighth, ninth and tenth chapters of Viveka Chintamani.
Sri Siddalinga Sivananda Swami of Huliyur Durga, Sadhvi Unmeshabharati Mataji, Sri B.S. Janagonda, Smt. Aruna Shiraguppi and Ms. Sinchana shared their experiences. Mata Basavanjali offered the prayer. Sri Channabasava Swamiji of Chunchanahalli and Navilur Mathas welcomed the gathering. Sri K.P. Basavaraju presented the camp report, while Sri B. Madappa proposed the vote of thanks. Dr. Rudramuni Swamiji of Alamatti compered the programme.
