Mangalore: A group of students and teachers, besides parents gathered at ‘Inchara’ (sweet voice), a Summer Camp, organised by Shasta Bhootanatha Temple for children, along with Hindu Seva Prathisthan (Foundation), and inaugurated by Dr.S.Krishnamurthy of St. Aloysius College (former Head of Dept of Sanskrit), who told the students that learning becomes most effective with a Burning desire to Know about and not when it is treated as a burden.
