“More than the discourse and worship at Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple, the cleaning work gave us immense satisfaction,” Maharaj said. Pointing that people took holy bath in the Agni Theertham sea, he said it was the responsibility of the devotees and yatrikas to keep the sea and seashore clean, instead of looking for the government to do the cleaning work, he said. The ashram also donated ? 51,000 to Manolaya, a voluntary organisation working for the betterment of the mentally deranged people in the island. The devotees, including a large number of women from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, removed sea grass, old clothes and plastic materials from the seashore. When the discourse was going on, the BJP leader, with the permission of Maharaj, made an appeal to the devotees to spend a few hours on cleaning work and they responded positively.
