Take measures to control population instead: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
CUTTACK: Amidst the raging controversy over the Supreme Court order, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said stray dog crisis can be resolved by regulating the canine population, and not by sending the animals to shelter homes. All animals have the right to live, said Bhagwat speaking at the birth-anniversary celebrations of Srila Prabhupada and centenary celebrations of Sri Sachchidananda Math organised by the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sammilani at Cuttack. He emphasised the fine equilibrium between man and nature. 'The crisis can be solved by regulating the street dog population and not by sending them to shelters,' he said. 'While milking cows, Indians take some milk and leave the rest for the calf which is an art of striking a balance between man and nature. The nature should be conserved by maintaining a balance between development and the environment,' he said. Bhagwat went to Puri where he visited the Shree Jagannath Temple to seek blessings of the deities and then met Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati. The RSS chief arrived here on Wednesday evening. He is scheduled to hoist the national flag at Utkal Bipanna Sahayata Samiti office in the capital city and address the gathering on Independence Day.

Srila Prabhupada an inspiration for all humanity: CM Majhi
BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday said Srila Saraswati Goswami Prabhupada is a living symbol of devotion, service and humanity. Speaking during the 151st birth anniversary celebrations of Srila Prabhupada and the centenary celebrations of Sri Sachchidananda Math organised by Gauduiya Vaishnava Sammilani at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack, the chief minister said that the Math has been illuminating the path of spirituality, literature and social service for a century. Majhi said that Prabhupada was not just a great saint, teacher or preacher; his philosophy on life reflects the eternal message of the Gita and Bhagavad. His teachings of 'dedicating life to the service of God' have always been a source of inspiration for a large number of people across the world. He said that Sri Sachchidananda Math has been spreading the light of knowledge, guiding people on the path of duty. Over the past 100 years, the Math has not only fostered spiritual awareness but also played a significant role in education, charity, spiritual discourse, social service and providing moral guidance to the youth. He further stated that Srila Prabhupada's contributions remain relevant today and by embracing his teachings, society can be established on the principles of universal brotherhood, leading to true happiness, prosperity and peace. The 151st birth anniversary of the seer is not just a day of remembrance but a resolve for all to stay committed to the ideals, service and devotion he embodied, Majhi said. 'The true meaning and purpose of devotion is to purify the inner soul and Srila Prabhupada has shown us the path. Our lives will be meaningful by incorporating his teachings into our lifestyle. His guidance and message will remain a source of eternal bliss for us,' he said. Gaudiya Mission's president Srila Bhakti Sundar Goswami Maharaj, Revenue minister Suresh Pujari and Higher Education minister Suryabanshi Suraj, were among the other dignitaries who took part in the event.
