Sri Krishna Sweets, in association with Narada Gana Sabha, is organising a programme called ‘Eppa Varuvaro’ on spirituality with a view to recall the services of spiritual and nationalistic leaders, said M Murali, managing director of Sri Krishna Sweets. R Krishnaswamy, secretary of Narada Gana Sabha (NGS), said he had allotted one day every month for the programme to be conducted at the sabha.

The first programme will commence on March 28 at 6 p.m., in which noted Tamil scholar Suki Sivam will speak about Bhagwan Ramakrishna. The inaugural function would be attended by industrialists M Saravanan of the AVM group, Nalli Kuppusamy, R Krishnaswamy, secretary, NGS, A Natarajan (former director, Doordarshan Kendra, Chennai) and M Murali of Sri Krishna Sweets. Former minister Rm Veerappan, president, Kamban Kazhagam, will deliver the inaugural address.

Sri Krishna Sweets, well known for its pure ghee sweets and savouries, is also known for its corporate social responsibility in organising various social, cultural, musical, sports, traditional programmes and for the uplift of youth and women.

Last year, Sri Krishna Sweets, as part of its Chennai 365 programmes, had organised 615 programmes (from 1.1.06 to 31.12.06) when functions relating to Speeches - 201; Bhajans - 106; Carnatic Music - 128; Bharatanatyam - 22; Music Lectures - 32; Medical Check-up - 11, Drama - 33; a-day-with-elders - 12; Amudhasurabi - Lunch and dinner for disabled children; Programme with Exnora - Environment - 12; Villupattu; science-related programme - 10; Sports - 7; General programme - 18.

Murali said this year from February to next January, every month will see one programme featuring Tamil Isai, in which famous Carnatic musicians will sing Tamil Isai. From April 2007 to April 2008 in select 15 schools and 15 colleges, lectures will be given by popular personalities on important/useful topics. Further, this year they have planned to hold free medical camps for the public.

Krishnaswamy said such campaigns with stress on spiritualism and clean values were the need of the hour in view of rising terrorism and crimes in society and the general lowering of moral standards. These meetings should be viewed from the concept of spiritualism and not religion, he added.

Murali said campaigns would also be undertaken in educational institutions about the contribution of national leaders.
