Kalam's Mission is to neutralise nuclear weapons

Bangalore, Dec 18 (UNI) President A P J Abdul Kalam today asserted that his mission will be to find ways to neutralise the vast destructive powers of nuclear weapons.

The President recalled a divine message he had received from a monk, which he said he had made his life's mission.

Inaugurating the 1047th year of 'Jayanthi Uthsav' of the founder of Suttur Mutt Pontiff Sri Shivarathreeswara Bhagavathpadaru, the President recalled the message of Acharya Mahapragnaji.

''I know our country is a nuclear nation now. The mission for you is greater than what you and your team have done, and it is greater than any human being had ever done. The nuclear weapons are proliferating in tens and thousands in the world. I command with all the divine blessings, you and only you, to find a solution to make the same nuclear weapons ineffective, insignificant and politically inconsequential,'' he quoted the seer as saying.

On Sri Shivarathreeshwara Bhagavathpad, the founder saint of Jagadguru Suttur Mutt (JSS) Mysore, Dr Kalam said the vision of the founder saint was radiating in the form of educaional institutions creating great human beings and the Mutt's contribution in the task of nation building was exemplary.

He said that the educational institutions run by the JSS mutt not only spread the educational knowledge but also the knowledge of spirituality and endowment.
