Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hyderabad, Apr 22: Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Swami has been invited to Muscat and Dubai to promote peace and harmony. Addressing a media conference on Tuesday, Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji said a 14-member group of swamijis, led by him, would visit Muscat and Dubai from April 24 to May 2. The invitation was extended to him by a close confidante of powers that be in Muscat and Dubai. "This person (one Khimji) was in Jagityal at the time when we organised a huge procession comprising villagers from 100 different villages as part of the Gita Jyoti programme. All of them lighted ghee diyas and took oath administered by me that irrespective of caste, creed, colour, race or religion, they would live together and strive for promotion of peace in their areas," he said. Swamiji said Khimji was impressed by it and after speaking to the concerned persons in Dubai and Muscat, he requested the Swamiji to render similar services in Muscat and Dubai. According to Swamiji, the authorities in both the countries have given permission to the visiting delegation to carry any item with them, be it a statue of god or any other religious item. "Usually, such items are not allowed in some countries. So I asked Khimji that where we go, we carry certain items like the tridandi. After speaking to the authorities, Khimji said we will be permitted to carry any religious item on us," the Swamiji said. Referring to successful completion of constructing 86 houses in Vallabhpur of Rapar Taluk in Kutch, Gujarat, Swamiji said the Rs 1.90 crore project was completed and houses handed over to the victims of the earthquake.
