Flurry
Of Activities At Shravanbelagola
The
usually sedate town of Shravanbelagola
is seeing a flurry of activity lately,
as it gears itself to make
Mahamasthakabhisheka a success in
February 2006.
Works
Gaining Momentum In Shravanabelagola
With the deadline for completing works
set for the once-in-a-12-year
Mahamasthakabhisheka, a head-anointing
ceremony of Lord Bahubali in
Shravanbelagola, fast approaching, the
official machinery is racing against
time.
Devotion
Paramount
The
philosophical systems based on the
Vedas advocate devotion to God (Bhakti)
as central to spiritual discipline,
the rationale being that it is not
possible for a spiritual aspirant to
directly adopt the path of
Self-knowledge (Jnana).
