<p>“This myth (about Hinduism) needs to be demolished in order to gain the rightful place for these organisations in the global order of things,” he said at a function to inaugurate the first ever “Hindu Spiritual and Services Fair-2009,” by over 100 Hindu spiritual organisations across India. <br /><br />Yeddyurappa said the event, organised by the “Global Foundation For Civilisational Harmony India (GFCH India)” would lead to a “meaningful convergence and understanding between different faiths,” including those within the Hindu social order. <br /><br />Karnataka is “blessed” by a chain of Maths of “Veerashaiva Faith” which had helped to improve the literacy and health indictors of his State. Apart from the “Veerashaiva Maths,” a number of other institutions of Hindu order were also rendering great service to humanity but these went unnoticed, he said. <br /><br />He said his government was committed to upholding India’s culture and heritage. The recent examples by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in unveiling the statues of saint-poets of Sarvajna in Chennai and Tiruvalluvar in Bangalore “have heralded a new era of friendship and cooperation between the two people and two States.” <br /><br /> Formally inaugurating the Hindu Spiritual and Service Fair, Tamil Nadu Governor S S Barnala said there should be no room for inter-faith disputes and social disharmony. He suggested that GFCH should organise inter-religious fairs throughout the country. <br /><br />Swadeshi Jagran Manch Convenor S Gurumurthy said the foundation was committed to promoting free and frank dialogue between world’s religions and also taking up activties to dispel “wrong perceptions” about certain communities. <br /></p>
