Dear Editor,
Our volunteers are doing a lot of work in Gaja Cyclone affected areas of Vedaranyam and Pudukottai. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was scheduled to go there to oversee the rehabilitation work. While he was there, the local people wanted Gurudev to facilitate a meditation program.
Our local organizers had obtained all permissions from both the Hindu endowment board and the Archaeological Survey of India to organize this program in the Shiva temple in Thanjavur. Since it is normal to have spiritual discourses in temples, the program was organised here. This is the first time a discourse on Kashmiri Shaivism is happening in South Tamil Nadu.
It is unfortunate that a couple of people with vested interests, who are least bothered about the temple, are quoting false allegations of the Yamuna flood plains and have approached the courts to prevent these spiritual activities from taking place in Tamil Nadu.
We have made alternative arrangements and the program is will taking place at the nearby Kaveri Mantapam.
