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, May 2: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has urged Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to help the farmers in sending their produce to a market here amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The Congress leader made the appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the farmers' issues while visiting KR Puram market on Friday.

Farmers told Shivakumar that the police are stopping their vehicles going towards the market despite the order passed by the Centre permitting the movement of vehicles carrying essential commodities during the lockdown.

"I have received calls from more than 100 farmers in the past few days. Every day, farmers from Kolar, Chikballapur, Malur and many other places come to KR Puram market to sell their agricultural goods, but their vehicles are stopped by the police. The cops do not allow them to sell fruits and vegetables. I request the Chief Minister to look into the matter and help the farmers," Shivakumar told reporters.

"I got to know that more than 50 vehicles were sent back. This government is of no use if they cannot secure the interests of the farmers. This government is not providing required support to the farmers," he added.

The Congress leader was accompanied by MLC Narayana Swamy and former president of Hoskote Authority Narayana Gowda during the visit to KR Puram market.
