Jagadguru Sri Shivarathreeswara University has a tradition of more than a thousand years behind it - a tradition of total dedication to the service of humanity in the fields of education, culture, religion and more importantly, in nurturing a spirit of tolerance.
The University has the task of carrying this tradition forward. A university is not just an institution for imparting knowledge and providing skilled doctors, pharmacists, engineers and so on; It must take up the task of arousing the spirit of curiosity amongst its students – a burning desire to expand the frontiers of knowledge. Perhaps more importantly, it must have before it the vision of creating in them a spirit of tolerance, of compassion, of maintaining ethical standards, and a desire to build a better society for themselves and for those less fortunate than themselves.
We are living in an increasingly competitive world and must equip ourselves to meet the challenges from the rest of the world, but this competitiveness must never degenerate into hostility. Rivalry must be tempered with tolerance, and friendliness towards those with whom we compete.
Everyone in the university from the highest to the lowest must strive to realize its spirit in their lives. This must be the endeavour of this university. Only then will it be a true inheritor of a great movement that began a thousand years ago.
