Na tasya pratima aasthi.

Regardless the religion, most of the people are not worshipping their creator. People should study their religion from the route, not from scholar's novel. I just wonder what is there in people's mind? God-given wisdom or cow dung?

The word "Vande-Mataram" was coined by Bankim Chandra Chattapadhyay in his Bengali Novel "Anandamath".Vande Mataram (Bengali script: বন্দে মাতরম্, Devanagari: वन्दे मातरम्, Vande Mātaram)—literally, "I praise thee, Mother". Unfortunately the mother here referred to is "Ma-Taara"(Goddess Kali). Bankim Chandra Chattapadhyay superposed our motherland India with Goddess Kali .

 

NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI - There is no image of God as per Vedas (I dont know why cheddis are forcing people to worship even the mother land & I really wonder Y people are following without using their God given intellect and blindly follow to worship whatever some cheddis wants them to worship , Worship the CREATOR of motherland not the motherland) Please Ponder on below Verses

 

Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without a second."
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1

 

Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."

"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."
 [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
