Media is not a commodity

Bhubaneswar, 28/11: Media is losing its moral value under the servitude of commerce. News appears a product and the media houses aim at selling the product and profit making, stated the Akhila Bharatiya Karyakarini Sadasya of RSS Sri Ramamadhavaji at a seminar on "secularism and role of media since last 50 years" here today at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in the evening organized by Vishwa Sambad Kendra Orissa.

Being invited as the chief spokesperson in the seminar, Sri Ramamadhavji focusing on the historical background of the media said media was served as a mission for the freedom of nation that Gandhi was executing Harizan and Young India. With the course of time media was converted into a profession. And in the modern era, it was automatically turned into an industry, which aims at getting profit. Referring to the current function and situation of its organization, he viewed that till this date there is no editor in the largest circulated and reputed newspaper in India rather the executive managing editor who tries to manage the editorial section. The purpose is to go through a situation instead of serving the nation with a mission. It is not monolith today. Not only the media is independent but also the media persons are free to interpret the same topic and concept with a little bit spice. Therefore media never acts as the social reformer as the less people is available to have opinion and revolution whose majority is not considerable. In the context of Hinduism on the basis of secularism, he said there is no Hindu terrorist in India – it is a technique for the distortion in the name of secularism.

Under the presidentship of Indulata Dash, the director of Yaga and Prachya Vidya Prastisthan, the chief guest Jagdish Pattanaik who is a writer expressed his surprise at whether India is a nation in making or it is there before the independence. He suggested for the establishment of secularism the only way is to keep respect towards each religion and community and the great souls who have left their personalities to be analyzed and followed.

On the concept secularism Indulata Dash stated giving the special reference of Veda that suggests seeing all the beings within oneself that Hinduism believes Secularism, which has been used in Indian constitution. The famous sacred mythological piece Gita teaches protestant through a weapon. A weapon may kill hundred but a pen can kill thousands and above people and even a civilization when it will be misutilized in a negative way. So media should be served under responsibility and potentiality under the service of secularism.

The secretary of Vishwa Sambad Kendra Orissa Sumanta Kumar Panda introduced the guests and addressed the meeting. After the question and answer session, Laxman Panda delivered vote of words in the end. Along with the RSS members most of the media persons and eminent personalities were present and participated in the discussion programme.

Mobile to provide novel and stories

Bhubaneswar, 24/11 (VISAKEO): Now it is a good news for the literary people to have a look on the literary pieces like novel and short stories while traveling, through a small mobile phone instead of lengthy books. Movies and FM are the out dated advantages in mobile phones. With the expansion of technology and usefulness of the consumers, one software has been developed for the service of the interested customers.

The rapid competition among the cellular companies leads to have advance technology. Thus on behalf of a software firm, it has been assured to the rivals to set and implement the software of having good novels and short stories in the mobile phones to develop curiosity among the customers, said the company CEO Rajeev Heernandini. Such facility is widely spread in the countries like China, Japan, US, England and Paris and also gets much support from the people at large towards this advantage.

Mutual perception to solve the conflict on temple entrance: VHP

Bhubaneswar, 24/11 (VISAKEO): The controversy on Keradagada Jagannath temple entrance can be solved by mutual understanding only, opines the VHP State general secretary Sri Gouri Prasad Rath. To have darshan of God of the same religion is one's birthright. No force can prohibit him from entrance of the temple to have darshan of his God. Hinduism believes in equality in caste, creed and birth.

As Jagadguru Shankaracharya had preached the value and concept of Hinduism that everyone is equal in the eyes of Supreme soul, it adopts and follows the VHP too. So, no Hindu is down trodden and untouchable. The Hindu people should dwell in one feeling that is fraternity. Where the world famous Jagannath temple never possesses untouchability and casticism, each holy institutions and Hindu temple should follow it. Thus, no priests and temple members should protest and deprive the common people beneath the birth of having the darshan of God. Because God is universal, further he said.

In the context of Hinduism, again he exemplified on Hindu customs and rituals Manabasa Gurubar where the Laxmipuran teaches equality in the society. But today's Hinduism is the victim of the bureaucracy and vested interest of the administrators. For the satisfaction of their selfishness they are trying to create discrimination between the castes in the name of religion. There should be no politics in the pure feelings like religion and darshan of God. 

Government neglects to prohibit cow slaughter

Bhubaneswar, 22/11 (VISAKEO): In spite of the agitation and revolution by the RSS and its associated parties, hundreds of cows are still supplied out side State. But the Government is not taking proper action against the brokers. Further the Government is disinterested about prohibition of such action and implementation of a law, stated the All India vice coordinator of Bajarang dal Mr. Subash Chouhan in an interview to VISAKEO.
 
By the continuous effort of VHP, around 200 cows- inns are in the State under the support of RSS and Bajarang dal. More than 150 cows are supplied to Bangladesh everyday. But the Government never shows any kind of interest to help in the execution process, he said.
