Pothencode : Somaiya Vidyavihar University Vice Chancellor Dr. V. N. Rajasekharan Pillai said that Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru’s thoughts and ideologies are the teachings that society needs. He was speaking at the Conference held in conjunction with the Santhigiri Ashram Navapoojitham celebrations. Several things are happening in today’s society that completely ignore the importance of the central point of being human. With each passing day, man is becoming increasingly restless and greedy.
