Swapnashilpi
“The hands which toil for realization of the marvelous aesthetic splendor often go unthanked or unrecognised. Only when these hands behind marvels are recognized, they become known to the world,” said Shree Kshethra Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade. Releasing ‘Swapnashilpi,’ Dr H Shantharam Abhinandana Grantha, Dr Heggade said that for any institution to thrive and succeed, the leader of the institution must have confidence and courage in him. “Wealth and well-being is only a false belief. Youth must realize the truth behind this life that is only illusion at the end of all the materialistic wants and achievements,” he said and added that it is only will power, determination and invincible faith that takes an individual towards his goal.
