MLC Pakalapati Raghuvarma encourages parents to introduce children to Yogi Vemana's poems for valuable life lessons.
MLC Pakalapati Raghuvarma on Sunday asked parents to encourage children to read and understand the poems written by Yogi Vemana who taught great life lessons in a simple manner in the ‘Vemana Satakam’. Prabodha Seva Samithi-Indu Jnana Vedika celebrated Yogi Vemana Jayanti at TTD Kalyanamandapam in Vizianagaram on Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Raghuvarma said that Vemana fought against superstitious beliefs, which are still prevalent in society. He said that students who read Vemana Satakam would always follow the right path.
Vizianagaram MLA Aditi Vijayalakshmi Gajapathi Raju, former MLC Gade Srinivasula Naidu, and others visited the exhibition on Vemana and hailed the initiative of Vanapalli Sankara Rao, the organisation’s president, to include all sections of society in the celebrations.
