It is worrying to see people com­mit crimes against one another despite the divine teachings from ones religion, says Veena Bhatnagar.

The Assistant Minister for the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation highlighted this at a Ramayan Sampurn Yagn (Ramayana reading) at Uluisila Yadua Gangamman Kovil (Tem­ple) in Sigatoka last Saturdayevening.

Ms Bhatnagar relayed to the crowd the message portrayed by Lord Rama, his relationship with devotee -Hamuna, his obedience to his parents, elders, siblings and wife.

She said this was a teaching of love, respect and trust which some­how failed to exist in the current world as news daily showed wom­en, children and elders being vic­tims of crimes and disrespect.

She urged the public to become good devotees to the Almighty and live their lives with obedience, re­spect, care and love for others.
