Constitution is being burnt to impose Manusmriti: Siddaramanandapuri Swami
Bengaluru, Dec 9: “Kuruba community is the biggest strength to the backward community. The Kuruba community, which is the voice for the oppressed class, is being treated as the elder brother”, progressive thinker Dr Banjagere Jayaprakash told here.
Releasing the book ‘Saavinache- Ondu Jijnase’, during the 541st jayanti of Kanakadasa, organized by the State Government Employees and Labourers Central Kanaka Samiti at the Ravindra Kalakshetra in the city on Sunday, he said that the Kuruba community has been taking exploited class along with it. By organizing a strong society, the exploited class should be taken together in each and every field, he said.
Saint poet Kanakadasa had demolished the wall between the God and the devotee by showing that a devotee could see the God. Because of Adikesava who graced Kanakadasa, Krishna Mutt became famous. Kurubas were offering pooja to Krishna in the open space, he opined.
Sensitive mindset is very important to understand the literature of Kanakadasa. Kanakadasa had to come to make Lord Krishna world famous and Kanaka jayanti had to come to organize the Kuruba community, he said.
After revolutionary literature came to the fore, Ramadyana Charite became famous. Only the scholars would read poetry as they could understand figure of speech. So, in order to educate the common people, Kanakadasa had written in simple language. Though some critics do not want the literature of Kanakadasa, it had become popular among common people. The society would require only legends instead of history about Kanakadasa, he said.
Siddaramanandapuri Swamiji said that one should read the literary works of Kanakadasa to understand him better. “We are looking at Kanakadasa in a different perspective. He has never considered Vyasa as his Guru and he has declared that he would never become Brahmin. Kanaka will stand with Buddha and Basava. His intention is to show the truth to the world”, he said.
MLC HM Revanna said that the literary works of Kanakadasa were being published in 12 volumes which will be released on January 5. Kanaka Jayanti has reached the entire state. But in recent days, the number of people coming to Kanaka jayanti has come down which is unfortunate, he said.
‘The political parties have turned their patriotism as their political weapon and are trying to burn the secular Constitution to impose Manusmriti on the entire country’.
