Presiding over a function organised here by the Kanchi Kamakoti Educational and Cultural Centre on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the ascension of the Sankaracharya to the Kanchi Peetam, Mr. Modi criticised a section of the media for "ignoring" an important event such as this golden jubilee. He contrasted this with the media coverage of the beatification of Mother Teresa. Of course, he was proud of the honour bestowed on the Mother, but it was wrong to ignore the major events involving Hindu seers. He was appreciative of the work done by Christian missionaries but said that the services rendered by Hindu saints should not be undermined. Replying to the felicitations, the Kanchi Acharya appreciated the contributions of various religious leaders of Gujarat and said the Kanchi Peetam was planning to start a "gaushala" in the State. Earlier, the Kanchi Acharya visited the Somnath temple.
