Vice President, Shri
Bhairon Singh Shekhawat said that we have yet to fully fathom
the rich cultural splendour of India and this is the reason why
we are lagging behind and our society is beset with many problems.
Shri Shekhawat was releasing today a rare 15th century
Sanskrit Commentary, Prabhugeeta on the Vachanas of Allama
Prabhu, a mystic poet in Karnataka. On this occasion, the former
Chief Justice of Supreme Court, Justice Ranganath Mishra was also
present. Shri Shekhawat said, in this book, Shunya has
been equated with truth and truth has been equated with Shiva.
We also feel a glimpse of unity in diversity while going through
the book. Shri Shekhawat also said that we have rare manuscript
on the palm leaves but unfortunately, due to paucity of funds,
we are not able to preserve them. We have not been able also to
provide the proper transcription and translation of the manuscript.
He also said
that we should have followed the real teaching of Vedas to ward
off the social malpractices like child marriage, sati, untouchability
and other social evils. In this connection, he also referred to
Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati who was votary of true import of
Vedas.
On this occasion,
former Chief Justice of India, Justice Ranganath Mishra also expressed
his views.
