Sivagiri pilgrimage, known as Sivagiri Theerthadanam in Malayalam, too has distinctive characters which make it different from other religious pilgrimages. Sree Narayana Guru’s followers, Vallabhasseri Govindan Vaidyar and T K Kittan Writer were the main persons behind such a concept and it was duly approved by Guru.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an important programme – 85th Sivagiri Pilgrimage Celebrations – via video conferencing today.
“On December 31, the Prime Minister, via video conference, will deliver the inaugural address on the 85th Sivagiri Pilgrimage Celebrations, at Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala in Kerala. Sivagiri is the holy abode of one of the great saints and social reformers of India, Sree Narayan Guru,” an official statement said on Saturday.
Inaugural functions on the first day of the New Year
On January 1, 2018, Modi will, via video conference, address the curtain-raiser ceremony of the commemoration of Professor Satyendra Nath Bose’s 125th birth anniversary at Kolkata.
Bose made important contributions in the 1920s to the field of quantum physics that changed how particle physics has been studied ever since.
Bose is best known for his contribution to the field of quantum mechanics, providing the foundation for Bose-Einstein statistics. The class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics has been named Bosons after Bose.
Bose was born on January 1, 1894, in Kolkata and died on February 4, 1974.
