Sri Shiva Kumar Swamiji (Sidda Ganga Matha Tumkur) Collected The Holy Quran from Salaam Centre

Spread the Truth: SWAMIJI APPLAUDS QURANIC SERVICES “It is a great honour and service to humanity,” said Dr. Sri Shivkumar Swamiji appreciating the efforts of Salaam Centre in distributing the Holy Quran. He was speaking to Salaam Centre Chairman in frail but strong words. The 103-year old Pontiff is a most respected religious head of a politically powerful Lingayath sect of Karnataka. The Swamiji was chief guest in the silver jubilee function of an Al-Ameen School near Bangalore. A special Quran pavilion “Quran for all” was erected on the occasion. As a mark of respect, Swamiji, despite of his physical weakness, walked from the podium to Quran pavilion of Salaam Centre barefoot. He entered the pavilion respectfully and enquired “in how many languages the Holy Quran has been translated.” When Salaam Centre Chairman Mr. Syed Hamid Mohsin replied, “The Holy Quran has so far been translated into 13 Indian Languages and 69 Foreign Languages,” the Swamiji was struck with amazement and happiness. He applauded the efforts of Salaam Centre in this direction. Swamiji is the chairperson of the famous Siddaganga Mutt which runs a large group of prestigious educational institutions wherein more than 10,000 students belonging to different communities are availing benefits.
