Youth power is the virtual strength of any country and hence the Brahmin youths, who are supposed to be more intellectuals, have the onerous responsibility of contributing their might to the development of the society, said MLA BK Sangameshwar. Addressing the gathering on the occasion of the launch of Vipra Yuva Vedike at Rameshwara temple premises here on Sunday (16-01-2011), he asserted that the forum should strive hard to lend a helping hand to the needy and economically downtrodden people of the community. He also suggested building a corpus to assist the poorer families to perform funeral and obsequies at the time of bereavement in their family. He also contributed a donation of Rs.10001 to Vipra Yuva Vedike as his donation.

Vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Shimoga KS Anantharamaiah affirmed that Brahmins were known for their harmonious living in the society. The practice of purity (madi) by Brahmins is often mistaken to impervious and untouchablity. This forum should honestly try to spread awareness among people about the adherence to purity ‘Madi’. Dwelling upon the demography of Brahmins he said that the community was not reckoned for the benefits under the democratic setup because of the fact that Brahmins were fewer in number and lacked integrity among them. The youth power alone can bring the people together and prove the solidarity, he pointed out.

President of the Badaganadu Sangha of Bengaluru VK Dixit lit the lamp to mark the launch of Vipra Yuva Vedike, Municipal president BK Mohan, Shimoga taluk Brahman sabha president Nagaraj and the president of the new Vipra Yuva Vedike of Bhadravati C Ranganath were present. President of Bhadravati taluk Brahman sabha MS Janardan Iyengar presided over.

A minute’s silence was observed to mourn the death of R Divekar, Nagabhushana and Yashodamma Ramachandra.

The programme began with the Veda chanting by Ananthaiah and others. Sanjana S Rao sang the invocation song. KR Subramanya gave a prefatory talk. Subramanya of AIR Bhadravati anchored the programme. Vasanthamadhava welcomed.
