Dharmasthala: Dedicating a Jain library of scriptural books at the local Chandranath Basadi(Jain temple), Charukeerthi Bhattaraka Swamiji in his benedictory address, told a devout gathering that if they removed dirty thoughts from the mind and cleaned it up, the Universal Light from God is bound to illuminate them in their lotus-like hearts of purity.

The Jain Guru made it clear that what relief you get in the presence of an eternal God is far greater than that available in courts or hospitals.Where bodies and minds are treated for ill-health.

Knowledge is great, as it rectifies our manners, points to proper path, and gives us a new discriminatory power, which is the soul enlightenment.

But what we get in schools these days, is only a belly full literacy, or a career in public life. What has come as traditional wisdom must never be neglected, he ruled.

He said, moreover, that in Moodabidri, he would call 350 pundits on Jain Philosophy and conduct thinking sessions, and release a book in white of 40 volumes to study. Certificates were distributed to students and books were transferred to Basadis, on this holy occasion. He Swamiji blessed Dr. Heggade for his phenomenal contributions to people at this Universal Centre. Dr. V. Heggade Welcomed the august gathering of devotees.
