Cauvery Calling rally gets rousing welcome in Hosur

Krishnagiri/Dharmapuri: The Cauvery Calling motorcycle rally entered Hosur in Krishnagiri district on Wednesday to begin the Tamil Nadu leg of its journey. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder, Isha Foundation, expressed his deepest gratitude to the people of Hosur for extending a resounding welcome to the rally in Tamil Nadu and their generous contribution to the same.

Hundreds of people thronged the streets to welcome the rally as it crossed the Karnataka border where it completed its first leg on September 8 in Bengaluru. Sadhguru addressed a public event at Adhiyamaan college of engineering. Elected representatives from all parties shared stage with Sadhguru at the event.

Addressing the audience and the dignitaries, Jaggi Vasudev said some people express doubts about the success of this, they ask how would you plant 242 crore trees. “I am saying, look at this stage - there is AIADMK, DMK, Congress and BJP representatives here. What more do you need,” he questioned. They have come together realizing this is what needs to happen. It is not a question of whether this will happen, this is just a question of when, he added.

Guests included Krishnagiri Congress MP Dr A Chellakumar, Hosur DMK MLA S A Sathya, former deputy speaker of Lok Sabha M Thambidurai, former Tamil Nadu sports minister P Balakrishna Reddy, former MLA K A Manoharan and Krishnagiri district collector S Prabhakar.

Balakrishna Reddy handed over a cheque of Rs 5 lakh to Jaggi Vasudev at the event in support of Cauvery Calling. Later, Sadhguru reached Hogenakkal and met Tamil Nadu higher education minister K P Anbalagan. He also discussed with the minister about Cauvery Calling for an hour.

The rally will reach Mettur in Salem district on Thursday morning where a public event is scheduled at 9.30am at JSW hall in Pottaneri. It will reach Erode in the afternoon where a public event is scheduled as well at 3.15pm. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev will address both events which are open and free for all.
