Rejuvenating villages by bringing children and women to the forefront

Ramanuja’s statue near Shamshabad Outskirts of Hyderabad will have the “Samata” statue of the tallest social reformer of thousand years. Ramanuja guided the globe with fundamentals of life and showed the path for harmonious living of all. A couple of his principles remain eternal. These include that God is not of some but of every one and beyond caste and community, and larger societal interest should guide not individual and immediate interests. Temples built in nook and corner over these thousand years should once again rekindle inclusive idea with particular concern for children and women. This Samata statue should remind us the core of Ramanja’s principles.
