Mangalore, January 6: 'Gomandala- Gopooja', a three day special programme to worship cow as god, organised by the Govanithashraya Trust, Mangalore, at Nehru Maidan in the city was inaugurated on Friday evening.

Speaking on the occasion, Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, after the independence we have seen the way our country depends on the cow.

He said even before Independence India had to struggle to protect the sacred animal. A program of this kind is very auspicious and it must be made known to the Central government that an initiative of this kind has been taken at national level, he suggested.

Recalling the Hindu traditions, he said in the earlier days when a boy went to look for a prospective bride he would see the number of cows her house had bred.

He also demanded that the controversial anti-cow – slaughter law must be come into force, since cows give us milk without any law.

Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Vajradehi mutt, most of the times cows are being ill-treated when they are being transported by vans from one place to another.

Citing examples from the Gita he preached the public about the status of the cow in our Hindu religion. He went on to compare the cow to mother and appealed all to worship it regularly.

Delivering the presidential address, B Nagaraj Shetty, Chairman, Coastal Development Authority, called upon the Hindus to do everything possible to protect the sacred animal.

Informing about the objectives of the event, Ananth Krishna, President of the Trust, said, the relationship of Hindus with cows is very strong and ancient.

He said that it was our duty to make people aware of the need for protecting cows, which are being slaughtered everywhere.

He said that the school children must be educated about the way the cows are bred and the way it is taken care off.

The evening got off to a Vedic start by chanting of mantras. Cow worshippers began to bringing their pet animal-cum-god to the venue, where religious discourses about cows and chanting of shlokas will go one for next three days. Go-pooja, Bhajans, Vishnusahasranama, Little Krishna show and cultural programmes by blind children also will be part of the event.

DKMUL President Raviraj Hegde and VHP leader Prof MB Puranik were also present among others.

Mangaluru, Jul 4: Normal life was thrown out of gear as heavy rain under the influence of South East Monsoon started lashing coastal districts of Karnataka including Dakshina Kannada on Saturday.

The heavy rain is likely to continue till July 7, according to the meteorological experts. 

The water level in Netravati river is increasing and district administration has warned the people living in the low lying areas and has asked them to move to safer places.

Owing to lack of storm water drains, water logging of the roads inconvenienced the motorists at KS Rao Road, Pumpwell, Bejai, and other areas. 

The Met department sounded warning for fishermen not to venture into the sea observing that strong winds with speed reaching 50-60 kmph are likely to prevail over Southwest and West Central Arabian Sea till July 5.

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 14: Amid Covid-19 lockdown,

Keralites celebrated a low key "Vishu" ,the Malayalam new year, on Tuesday, hoping that days of plenty, prosperity and peace will return.

People woke up in the early hours to see the auspicious "Vishu kani", symbolising hope, promise and fine prospects they wish to have in the year ahead.

The ritual comprises arranging on platters auspicious articles like seasonal fruits, vegetables, flower, gold and clothes which together form the first sight when the family members wake up on the Vishu day.

Normally, Keralites dressed in their traditional attire throng temples across the state.

However, this year due to the lockdown restrictions, temple visits were given a go by.

The famed Sri Krishna temple at Guruvayur and the Lord Ayyappa shrine at Sabarimala witnesses heavy rush of devotees during the vishu day.

But pilgrims were not allowed inside and only temple officials and security personnel were present for the"Vishu kani".

Rehaman, a small time trader, said very few people have come out for vishu purchases due to the restricitons.

It is fine as it is for a good cause, while Radha, a young woman said she could not celebrate the festival.

"We have no money, no job. With whatever little we have, we are celebrating the festival", she said.

87-year-old Vilasini Nambiar, a retired college professor, said vishu has visited the state during a most bewildering time.

"It should however remind us that every mountain must have its valley, desert its oasis, every storm cloud its rainbow, every night its day.

We are prepared to believe that we will overcome this misfortune", she said.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Home minister, Amit Shah, Kerala Governor, Arif Mohammed Khan and Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, were among those who greeted people on the occasion of Vishu.
