Himachal Governor Acharya Devvrat on Sunday said that Swami Dayanand Saraswati had presented vedas in a scientific perspective to guide the society towards realism. The Governor while speaking on the occasion of the Regional Arya Conference said that the present era is an era of science and there is no place for superstition and false notions.
He said that our country has rich history and tradition of saints and sages. Arya Samaj has played a major role in eradication of superstition from the society, he added.
Devvrat said that the society was transforming fast. Today, the younger generation has little knowledge of our saints, great personalities and freedom fighters, who laid down their lives for the cause of the nation, he said.
He urged the parents to inculcate high values and moral character in their children.
The Governor said that the country was progressing in all spheres, but still a lot more needs to be done.
He added that the State should be made an organic State with clean and pollution free environment and youth could play a pivotal role.
