Udupi: Even as argument over beef eating is on, Shiroor Math Seer Sri Laxmivara Theertha Swamiji has called upon the Muslim from Udupi to give up beef.

“The cow is worshiped as God by Hindus and respecting this feeling, Muslims in Udupi should voluntarily take a decision to quit eating beef and become a role model in the country,” the Seer said.

He was speaking during the Sarva Dharma Eid celebrations held at Mother of Sorrows Church Hall here on Tuesday, June 27 which was jointly organized by Sauhardha Committee, Catholic Sabha Udupi unit, Mother of Sorrows Church and Lions Club Udupi Sangama.

Shiroor Math Swamiji said that since several decades, Hindus and Muslims have shared a very friendly relation. He recalled that it was Haji Abdulla who had donated essential commodities like rice and oil for lighting lamps in Krishna Math. “However owing to the political interference, the harmony between two communities has now been disrupted. Every human being should take responsibility to promote communal harmony in the society,” he said.

Bishop of Udupi diocese, Most Rev Dr. Gerald Isaac Lobo presided over the programme. Moulana Abdul Rahiman Razwi Kal Kata, priest and vice-president, district Wakf board said that the Hindus had offered to establish the first Mosque at Barkur and there was history that Hindus treated Muslims as their guests and developed good relations with one another. During Eid a person keeps aside his troubles and sorrows and it allows him an opportunity to move towards God. During Eid celebrations, Muslims search for the poor and donate food, clothes, groceries and other necessary food items.

In his address Rev Noel Prashant Karkada, Pastor of CSI Church, Mangaluru said that all religions share similar objectives and that compassion, peace, harmony and loving are the main principals of every religion.

In his presidential address, Bishop Gerald Isaac Lobo said that one can see God in each and every person by following the principles of mutual cooperation, harmony and goodwill. India is multi-cultural country. During the month of Ramadan, Muslim communities can reach God by offering prayer, abstinence and charity. The community has been helping the poor through charitable work. By controlling anger, one can live in the society with peace, unity, harmony, respect, love and cooperate with each other without any discrimination of religion. Eid festival is the festival of peace and love.

Earlier, St Mary’s Higher Primary School students performed a welcome dance. Rev Fr, Valerian Mendonca Parish Priest of Mother of Sorrows Church welcomed the gathering. Leslie Cornelio of Catholic Sabha proposed vote of thanks. Michael D’Souza compered the programme.
