Called the Raja of Kadali Yogeshwar (Jogi) Mutt, the Peethadipathi is elected every 12 years and this time, the anointment will be held on March 7.

The event is called Paryaya Raja Pattabhisheka. The Nath sect of Gorakhpur has centuries-old association with Mangaluru after the visit of Yogi Gorakshanath and there are several Nath-sect temples on the coast, including Kudroli Gokarnatha and Kadri Manjunatha.

Various leaders, including Mangaluru South MLA J.R. Lobo, VHP South Karnataka president M.B. Puranik, MLA Ganesh Karnik and Bunts Association president Ajith Kumar Rai Maladi received the Zhundi Yatra at Kottara Chowki.

The Zhundi Yatra thereafter proceeded to Kudroli Gokarnatha Temple where the participants and the new Raja were accorded traditional welcome.

It was then the turn of Venkataramana Temple on Car Street to host the Zhundi Yatra, after which the Raja was felicitated at the Bunts Association.

The Zhundi Yatra entered the Kadali Mutt after visiting the Manjunatha temple amid jubilation among devotees. Rajasthanis were present in large numbers as the new Raja as well as the outgoing head — Yogi Sandhyanathaji — are from Rajasthan.

Daily programmes

A release here said that religious and cultural programmes would be conducted at the mutt every evening till March 7, the day of Pattabhisheka. President of Akhil Bharata Varsheeya Avadhoot Bekh Barah Panth Yogi Mahasabha, Haridwar, Mahanth Adityanath, would address the religious congregation on February 28.

Elaborate arrangements are being made on the mutt premises for the celebrations.

The Zhundi Yatra commenced from Nasik in Maharashtra about six months ago on the day of Nagara Panchami after the selection of Yogi Nirmalnathji as the Raja of Kadali Mutt.

The sadhus traversed the distance by foot, visiting 62 mutts/temples of the Nath-sect en route .

They halted at Nandaneshwara Temple in Panambur on Thursday before proceeding towards Mangaluru on Friday morning.

Mangaluru, Jul 21: Private hospitals cannot send back COVID-19 patients for any reason, district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said on Monday.

The Minister was addressing a meeting at the Father Muller Medical College here on the arrangements made for COVID-19 patients.

Dakshina Kannada district is quite advanced in the medical field. Hence, the government will not tolerate COVID-19 patients wandering from one hospital to another for treatment. Refusing to admit COVID-19 patients in hospitals is unacceptable, he warned.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: After the visit of fact finding committee members to the spot, the Christian community here decided to submit a report to the state government urging to install a 114-ft. statue of Jesus Christ at Kapala Betta in Kanakapura taluk of Ramanagaram district, Congress MLC Ivan D’souza said here on Thursday.

While talking to media, Mr D’souza said the committee would submit the report to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and Revenue Minster R. Ashok and urge the government to construct the statue at the earliest.

The RSS and other BJP outfits have strongly opposed the installation, following which the government ordered suspension of the work. A few days ago, Kalladka Prabhakar, RSS ideologue, took out a rally in Kanakapura opposing the installation.

Bengaluru, Jun 24: Karnataka Minister of Medical Education Dr K Sudhakar said on Tuesday that the directors of institutions will be held responsible if any there are any complaints and lack of facilities in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

'Since a couple of days, there are reports in media regarding the admission of COVID-19 patients, lack of hygiene and the supply of sub-standard food to patients. The country is appreciating Karnataka and Bengaluru for controlling the spread of coronavirus. This was possible due to tireless efforts from past several months and these kinds of reports emerging now cannot be tolerated," Sudhakar said.

He added, "There can be no compromise in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. It must be ensured that these kinds of complaints will not be repeated. Directors of hospitals will be held responsible if there are complaints."

The medical education minister further said that asymptomatic patients will be kept in COVID-Care Centres and if they develop symptoms in the care centres, they will be shifted to hospitals for further treatment.

"Since the COVID-19 cases are increasing, private hospitals have been roped in to treat coronavirus patients. Officials have to ensure that beds are reserved and all arrangements are made as per the government order. Guidelines will soon be issued for monitoring asymptomatic cases in COVID care centres," he added.

Karnataka on Tuesday reported 322 fresh COVID-19 positive cases and eight deaths.
According to the state health department, the total number of positive cases has mounted to 9,721 and 150 deaths. So far, 6,004 people have been discharged.
