Uppinangady, Sept 8: “We need not to do anything to ‘protect’ our religion. Instead, if we tread the religious path, the religion itself will protect us,” said Esha Vittaladas Swami, the chief pontiff of Kemaru Sandeepani Sadhana Ashrama.

He was speaking at the goodwill programme to mark the launching ceremony of the K M Shafi Memorial Public Library and Shanti Centre established by the local unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) at Uppinangdy on Friday (Sept 7).

He said that one should first correct himself by adopting religious values and doing noble works rather than resorting to ignoble actions in the name of protecting religion.

“Serving the needy and poor is a religious act. Violence and conflicts are not propagated by religion. But, one has to gain proper knowledge to realize this fact,” he said hoping that the newly launched library may do the work of providing useful knowledge to the local people. 

Dr Abdul Majeed, a Mangaluru based surgeon and honorary president of Ayisha Educational Trust, said that reading good books will help us build a peaceful society and achieve unity in diversity.

Mohammed Kunhi, Manager of Shanti Prakashana, Divakar Acharya, President of Uppinangady Rotary Club, Abdussalam U of JIH, Aravind Chokkadi, Kannada writer and Fr Abel Lobo spoke on the occasion. 

Ameen Ahsan Sayeed of JIH welcomed. Abdul Haseeb recited Quranic verses in the beginning. Jaleel Mukri compered the programme. Dr Raghu, Syndicate Member, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences was present among others.

All religion you specified above will go to hell fire...only religion excepted in front of GOD is ISLAM..

Christianity worship Phophet Issa, which is ok in one point which will reduce there punishment in hell, above that they woship idol of prophet which is major sin as per GOD

Hinduism worship many stone and even di@k (linga) as well as animal shit. one of the dirtiest and worst religion in front of GOD

Buddhism & Sikhism they too worship idol which is major sin in front of GOD

Jainism biggest worst culture they even roam naked in front of public..worst religion in front of GOD.

 

ISLAM is the one and only pure religion...only bow down to ALLAH the unseen god.he is the master of universe...No idol no foolish culture.

 

dont say islam spread terrorism, the biggest terriorst in the world is America but no one say christen terrorist...you know why..they wear black suit & tie & bomb innocent people country and kill them (one of the cowards act of mordern soldier) if some one fought back with old rated rifle wearing kudtha & paijam with beard in his face then they called them as terror..

Well said swamiji. Follow any peaceful religion like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism. But if people follow a religion which offers you 4+72 for killing a kaafir, then the world be destroyed!

Swamijis like Kemaru should be a bit careful while speaking the truth. Shiroor seer had to lose his life after exposing other swamijis.

Udupi, Apr 20: Patients from outside the district visiting Udupi for emergency treatment should be in possession of a certificate, issued by the district health officer or taluk health officer, that they do not have any symptoms of Covid-19.

The decision was taken during an expert committee meeting chaired by Udupi Deputy Commissioner Jagadeesha on Sunday.

The Deputy Commissioner said he will send a letter to all Deputy Commissioners in this regard. The patients from other districts will be treated in various hospitals in Udupi, only in case of emergency.

Bengaluru, Feb 13: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday said the government had initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report as the 12-hour Karnataka bandh call by several pro-Kannada organisations under the banner of Karnataka Sanghatanegala Okkoota began on Thursday.

“Government always stood for Kannada and Kannadigas and initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report,” Yediyurappa said. Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, Ola, Uber and auto services were affected even though buses were plying as usual. Security has also been beefed up in Bengaluru after stones were pelted at a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet, though no one was injured.

Bangalore University has postponed all postgraduate (PG) exams scheduled for today. A pro-Kannada activist, Praveen Shetty, was kept under house arrest and police have detained a few people, including those involved in Cauvery protests and other bandh cases.

The organisations are demanding the implementation of a report by former union minister Sarojini Mahishi that recommends a certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in public sector undertakings, private companies, and multinational companies. The report was submitted in 1984 but is yet to be implemented.

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.
