Right here’s the custom of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat’ which our forefathers lived by, and this day this Kashi-Tamil Sangamam is as soon as extra carrying forward its glory.
Chums,
Tamil Nadu has made an out of the ordinary contribution within the building and construction of Kashi.

Neatly-known Vedic scholars of Tamil origin admire Shri Rajeshwar Shastri stayed in Kashi. He established the Sangveda Faculty at Ramghat.

It’s alleged that he furthermore saved his in vogue mustache right here. Many such personalities, traditions and faiths personal linked Kashi and Tamil Nadu with the thread of nationwide harmony. Now BHU has added to its pride by organising a chair named after Subramania Bharathi.
Chums,
This match of Kashi-Tamil Sangamam is taking set up at a time when India has entered the ‘Amrit Kaal’ of its independence. Our resolutions in ‘Amrit Kaal’ shall be fulfilled by the harmony and collective efforts of the total country. India is the nation which has lived a natural cultural harmony for thousands of years by respecting the mantra of ‘सं वो मनांसि जानताम्’ (concept every other’s mind). In our country, there is a practice of remembering 12 Jyotirlingas from ‘Saurashtre Somanatham’ to ‘Setubandhe tu Ramesham’ after waking up within the morning. We delivery our day by remembering the spiritual harmony of the country. We recite mantras while taking bathtub and worshiping – ‘Gange Cha Yamune Chaiv Godavari Saraswati, Narmade Sindhu Kaveri Jale Asmin Sannidhim Kuru. That’s, may perchance also all of the rivers from Ganga, Yamuna to Godavari and Kaveri reside in our waters! That’s, we really feel admire bathing in all of the rivers of India. We had to enhance this apply and heritage of thousands of years after independence and compose it the harmony thread of the country. However, unfortunately, no longer many efforts had been made in this regard. Kashi-Tamil Sangamam will become a platform for this decision this day. This may perchance also compose us realize our duties and may perchance energize us to enhance nationwide harmony.
Chums,
A verse of Vishnu Purana tells us about the invent and body of India. It says उत्तरं यत् समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम्। वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र सन्ततिः i.e., India encompasses all of the variations and specialties from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean. And every little one of hers is an Indian. If we’ve got to expertise these roots of India, then we can examine how shut North and South are in spite of being thousands of kilometers apart. Sangam Tamil literature glorifies the Ganga flowing thousands of miles away and the of us of Varanasi are praised within the Tamil text Kalittokai. Our forefathers praised the glory of Lord Muruga and Kashi collectively thru Thiruppugal and established Tenkasi known as the Kashi of the South.
Chums,
It turned into as soon as this affinity that broke the boundaries of physical distance and languages and Swami Kumaragurupara came to Kashi from Tamil Nadu and made it his work set up. Swami Kumaragurupara of Dharmapuram Adheenam had built the Kedareshwar Temple right here at Kedar Ghat. Later, his disciples established the Kashi Vishwanath Temple on the banks of the Kaveri River in Thanjavur district. Manonmaniam Sundaranar ji has written the notify song of Tamil Nadu ‘Tamil Thai Valthu’. It’s alleged that his guru Kodaganallur Sundara Swamigal ji spent a selection of time at Manikarnika Ghat in Kashi. Kashi furthermore had a selection of impact on Manonmaniam Sundaranar ji. Saints admire Ramanujacharya, who turned into as soon as born in Tamil Nadu, furthermore aged to gallop back and forth thousands of miles from Kashi to Kashmir. Even this day his files is believed just a few proof.
Even this day, the total country from south to north takes inspiration from Ramayana and Mahabharata written by C. Rajagopalachari. I take into consideration one of my lecturers instructed me that ‘you are going to need to personal learn Ramayana and Mahabharata, but in uncover for you to preserve shut it deeply then learn the Ramayana and Mahabharata written by Rajaji, then you definately will realize something’. It’s my expertise that we can no longer realize India with out concept the Indian philosophy of the scholars of South from Ramanujacharya and Shankaracharya to Rajaji and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. These are expansive males whom we’ve got to achieve.
Chums,
As of late, India has recommend taking pride in our heritage thru ‘Paanch Pran’ (five pledges). If any country within the field has any extinct heritage, then that country takes pride in it. It proudly promotes it to the field. We can examine many such examples from the pyramids of Egypt to the Colosseum in Italy and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We furthermore personal Tamil, the oldest language within the field. Except this day, this language is as in vogue because it’s some distance alive. When of us within the field come to grab that the field’s oldest language is in India, they are bowled over. However we walk within the support of in glorifying it. It’s the responsibility of the 130 crore countrymen that we’ve got to earn this Tamil heritage apart from enrich it. If we ignore Tamil, we pause a expansive disservice to the nation and if we earn Tamil confined in restrictions, we can pause expansive hurt to it. We need to take into consideration to purchase away linguistic variations and set aside emotional harmony.
Chums,
I imagine Kashi-Tamil Sangamam is extra a matter of expertise than words. Throughout this Kashi Yatra, that you just shall be going to join with the memories, which is in a living to become the capital of your existence. The of us of Kashi will leave no stone unturned on your hospitality. I desire such occasions to be held in Tamil Nadu and other southern states as successfully and of us from other facets of the country need to serene gallop there and know India. I desire the nectar that comes out of this Kashi-Tamil Sangamam need to be taken forward thru learn for the formative years. These seeds need to serene extra become the banyan tree of nationwide harmony. The mantra ‘Nattu Nalne Namdu Nalan’ (National passion is our passion) need to serene become the existence mantra of our countrymen. With this spirit, as soon as extra many easiest needs to all of you.
