inscriptions have common saying amongst them.
Last was Shri Esha Vittaladas Swamiji, an engineer turned seer having vast knowledge of
philosophy through his interaction with many gurus throughout India including his penance in
Himalayas. He initially said that he would not like to speak more and for that matter even did not
want to come to Dubai for this function but accepted only because he did not want to turn out
the true invitation from his loved ones. His speech was a mix of philosophy with garnish of
humour which the audience felt interesting and were craving for more. His final say was
'science and invention are good but one should not abuse it' instead make good use of it.
Humorously he said, do not give mobile phones to your children which may lead to 'not
reachable' like the message you receive from these mobile phones.
