Mangaluru, Oct 5: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the coastal city of Mangaluru a sacred land which had attracted religious figures in the past.

The priest-cum-politician, who stayed at Kadali (Kadri) Yogeshwar (Jogi) Mutt, in front of the Kadri Park here, last night after returning from the Janaraksha Yatra in Kerala, he asked the local residents not to ignore Dharma and country.

The CM asked people in Mangaluru to join hands for the development of the country and said that religious leaders would take care of Sanatan Dharma.

He recalled the centuries-old association of the Nath sect with Mangaluru which has the Yogeshwar Mutt and other Nath sect temples. “Adi Sankaracharya had travelled from the South to the North via Mangaluru, and Gorakhnath, the founder of the Nath panth, travelled from the North to the South via the coastal area,” he said.

Yogi return to Uttar Pradesh through a special flight from Mangaluru International Airport on Thursday morning.

With all due respects, to all our brothern Hindus,  

One thing sure, series of babas because who are not allowed to marry are indulged in rape, adultary cases.

Babas who called Godman became criminals.

 

Hindus should not be so  stupid to allow these babas to commit more crime and spoil the name of Hinduism.

If you dont allow them, you are risking your daughters in a very dangererous state. May God really help.

@Hari... In that matter, Kerala media did well. They didnt give much importance to Amit Shah's visit. Kerala media covered actor Dileep issue at that time. But cunning Shah brought national  pro cheddi media there for his programmes

Sacred land with feku babas... Yogi better concentrate on your UP land. First try to develop your UP then give advice to others. Our manglore is developing and we do not need your advise. Try to correct law and order in your state. I wonder why you became CM.. Instead of that you could have become a sadhu or pandith. This will be good and suitable for you. Also try to learn the meaning of DEVELOPMENT!!!!

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Orange vendor Harekala Hajabba, popularly known as 'Akshara Santha' (the saint of alphabets), who went on to build a school at Newpadpu village on the city’s outskirts in 1999 is among this year’s Padma Shri awardees.

When Hajabba received the call on being nominated for the award, he was standing in a queue to buy rations.

As he is not fluent in Hindi, Hajabba handed over the phone to an auto driver, who conveyed the news that the Padma Shri award will be conferred on him.

The unlettered achiever set up a primary school from his meagre savings of Rs 150 per day,  selling oranges in Mangaluru. 

“The first time I felt bad for being an illiterate was when a foreigner enquired about the price of oranges in English. I did not know what he meant. So, I decided to start a school in my village,” Hajabba had said during a felicitation programme.

When Hajabba decided to start a school, he did not get any support. He started the school with 28 children.

The school today has been upgraded to a composite high school and is catering to the educational needs of hundreds of children in and around Newpadpu.

He ran from pillar to post in the Zilla Panchayat to make his dream come true. All cash awards he had received went into building the school. The United Christians Association, moved by the sight of his dilapidated house, built a 760-square-foot house costing Rs 15 lakh for him. 

Hajabba’s life was prescribed for the syllabus of three universities - Davangere, Kuvempu and Mangalore. His success story is also included in a Tulu textbook.

He won the Karnataka Rajyotsava award in 2013, Real Heroes award from TV channel CNN-IBN.

Hajabba, when contacted, said he could not believe his ears when told about the award.

New dreams

The frail vendor, in his 60s, humbly declared that he could achieve all this because of the support of all. Hajabba now dreams of upgrading the school into a full-fledged PU college.
