Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi attended the 105th birthday celebrations of the highly respected Lingayat seer Shivakumara Swami at 'Siddaganga Mutt' at Tumkur in Bangalore and paid respects to the seer and appreciated his services. “Dr Shivakumara Swami jee exemplifies hard work and self discipline. The perseveres in his mission, even at this age, is a remarkable lesson in itself. For Swami jee, I believe, his motto is ‘work is worship’. And each one of us will do well to imbibe the spirit and make it part of our own life” said Sonia Gandhi.
The Congress President added “Over the centuries, we in India have had the special blessing of being shown the right path by sages, reformers and teachers of different faith and persuasions. We are privileged to walk through the path that they have illuminated for us. Like them, Swami jee has shown us the path of selfless service of righteousness and universal brotherhood”.
Sonia Gandhi wanted the people to continue to derive guidance and inspiration from Swami jee’s life, from his teachings and his works. “Let me conclude by once again by congratulating Shree Shree Shivakumara Swami jee on this auspicious occasion and offer him my respectful pranaam. May pranaams also to all the swami jees present here who are following the footsteps of Swami jee and have dedicated themselves to the service of humanity; and also to the devotees I extend my very best wishes” said Sonia Gandhi concluding her address.
