Yadagirigutta (Telangana), Oct 31 (UNI) Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on Saturday called for greater efforts to preserve Vedic knowledge and promote traditional learning institutions, observing that the Vedas formed the foundation of Indian civilisation and culture.
Addressing the 26th Telangana Veda Vidwan Mahasabhalu at Yadagirigutta, he said Vedic wisdom offered guidance not only on spirituality but also on environmental conservation, ethical values and social harmony.
The Governor commended the Guru-Shishya tradition and the efforts of Acharyas in preserving the Vedas, particularly their precise pronunciation, intonation and recitation, across generations.
Congratulating over 500 students appearing for Vedic examinations at the Mahasabhalu, he said their dedication reflected the future of India's cultural heritage.
He also felicitated 10 Vedic scholars who received Jayapatras, on the occasion.
Shukla said Yadagirigutta had the potential to develop into a major centre for Vedic learning and spiritual activities.
He stressed the need to connect ancient Indian knowledge systems with modern scientific advancements and encourage Vedic institutions, Gurukuls and scholarly assemblies.
The Mahasabhalu were organised with the support of the Yadagirigutta Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu, Government Chief Whip and Alair MLA Beerla Ilaiah, Governor's Special Chief Secretary M. Dana Kishore, Religious Advisor R. Govind Hari, Endowments Commissioner M. Hanumantha Rao, temple Executive Officer J. Bhavani Shankar, Vedic scholars and devotees attended.
