Freemasonry is a way of life says, Anish Kumar Sharma, Grand Master
Freemasonry is a moral building organisation
It teaches values, makes good men better
Hyderabad, May 01: Who are Freemasons and why is it that we know so less about them? Though Freemasonry in India exists since 1730, not much is known about it. That is because it always shies away from publicity. Then why is this press conference? There are a few reasons.
One is Universal Brotherhood Day, which Freemasons across the country observe every year on June 24, which is around the corner.
It is during this time in the year Freemasonry liberally talks about itself, its activities.
The second reason is it is the maiden visit of Mr Anish Kumar Sharma, OSM (Order of Service to the Masonry, the highest recognition Grand Lodge of India accords to any masons in India). He is the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of India. This means he is the head of Freemasonry in India. It is his maiden visit to the city in the capacity of Grand Master. He took over the mantle of this great institution last November.
The third reason is his portrait unveiling. It is the tradition, particularly in Hyderabad each time its heads change (once in three years in the case of Grand Master and Regional Grand Master and once a year in the case of Assistant Regional Grandmasters(ARGMs), it unveils their portrait). And this practice is unique to this place. So the Grand Master, the head of Freemasonry in India is in Hyderabad on the eve of unveiling his portrait, which will be unveiled by Mr VG Madhusudan, the Regional Grand Master, Regional Grand Lodge of Southern India, He is the head of Freemasonry in South India.
Mr Anish Kumar Sharma in turn will unveil the portraits of three Assistant Regional Grand Masters—Mr. Naresh Kumar Yadav, Mr B. Giridhar, Mr. Sagar Gala. These are the three new Freemason leaders for Telangana who were appointed recently in March in a function held in Madurai.
