Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan visited the Sivagiri Mutt, established by Sree Narayana Guru, and said the Guru's ideals and vision would guide society in preserving Kerala as a model state where people live together in harmony.
He offered prayers at the samadhi of Sree Narayana Guru at the Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala and held a meeting with Sivagiri Mutt head Swami Sachidananda and other members of the Mutt administration.
Satheesan said Guru had created a social awakening through his simple yet powerful words and brought transformative changes to Kerala's social and political spheres.
The government's vision is in line with the Kerala that Guru had dreamed of, a Kerala free from caste and religious divisions, where people coexist peacefully with communal harmony and mutual respect.
The government will extend all possible support to develop Sivagiri into an international-standard pilgrimage destination, Satheesan said.
