Dindigul (Tamil Nadu) [India] August 24 : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin extended greetings on the first day of the Global Muthamizh Murugan Conference through video conferencing on Saturday in Palani in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu.
CM Stalin said that the Dravidian government aims to benefit all faiths and has never hindered any religious belief.
"Everyone has different beliefs. The Dravidian government has never been a hindrance to those beliefs and is a government that can benefit all faiths. Dravidian Model is based on the concept of everything to everyone," CM Stalin said.
CM Stalin further appreciated the efforts of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P K Sekar Babu for organising the two-day conference that aims to bring together the devotees and harness the philosophy of Lord Murugan.
"It was only after Shekharbabu became the Minister of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department that the department has been working brilliantly. I gave him this department to take care of the temple but he stays in the temple and performs the services," CM Stalin said.
CM Stalin emphasised the message of equality. "In temple worship, Tamil should be accorded prime importance. Furthermore, within the sacred precincts of the temple, there should be no discrimination among humans based on caste," CM Stalin said.
Sekar Babu and Minister R Sakkarapani inaugurated the two-day 'Global Muthamizh Murugan Conference'.
Shri Arulmigu Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple in Palani has been adorned with colourful lights.
The conference is being held in Palani as it is the third adobe of the six adobes of Lord Muruga. The Lord Murugan is revered as Muthamizh.
The event is expected to draw lakhs of attendees, including VIPs, scholars, devotees, and the general public from India and around the world. Entry is free. The conference will feature a range of events, such as seminars, photo exhibitions, and 3D exhibitions.
