Kanchi Acharya expresses grief

CHENNAI, JUNE 2. The Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, today expressed deep grief over the assassination of King Birendra and other members of the royal family in Nepal.

In a statement here, the Acharya said the entire world was in deep shock, as it had not heard of any such incident so far.

``The killing has only shown that violence can enact even unbelievable things,'' he said, adding these type of incidents could happen in any nation, where violence had raised its ugly head.

King Birendra and his family were ardent devotees of the Acharya.
