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 7: The government of Kerala has barred movement of daily pass holders — professionals and workers — between Kasaragod district and Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district following a spurt in COVID-19 cases.

Kerala Revenue Minister E. Chandrasekaran announced the decision at a meeting on Monday in Kasaragod. Both district administrations had in June issued passes to daily travellers in their districts to travel in connection with their work.

Those from Dakshina Kannada intending to work in Kasaragod have to remain in Kasaragod for 28 days if they wish to continue and those from Kasaragod would have to remain in Dakshina Kannada for 28 days if they wish to continue their work, the Minister said.

Thousands from Kasaragod travel daily to Mangaluru and surrounding areas in connection with their work. Their travel past Talapady check post on NH 66 was facilitated by daily e-passes.

Similarly, many from Dakshina Kannada, particularly doctors and healthcare workers, travel daily to Kasaragod with daily e-passes issued by the Kasaragod administration.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.
