Scholars shower praise on Moily's literature

September 24, 2011

Mangalore, September 24: Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor Prof Mallepuram G Venkatesh said that any piece of work should be stimulating rather than rigid. The work should be applicable to all times.

Speaking at a seminar on review of Veerappa Moily's work organised jointly by M Veerappa Moily Sahithyavalokana Samithi in association with Janashakthi Seva Trust here on Friday, he said “a piece of literary work should not be restricted to a language alone. We should not review a work from a point of particular period. The way in which we were reviewing a piece of literary work in the 20th century with that of the 21st century is different. There is a need to change the module used for reviewing a piece of work in the 21st century. There are different faces for a particular period of time in the piece of work,” he said and added “one should review a piece of work amidst multi culture society. There are external sources which influence our understanding of a particular piece of work.”

He said “Moily's works are based on nativity. We can not look at his piece of work in the same angle in which we look at western literature. We study Valmiki Ramayana in Indian perspective without touching anything on the regionality. If we fail to look any literature with native perspective, we will fail to give justice to the piece of work. Moily's work has unravelled culture of Dakshina Kannada in length.”

While delivering a lecture on “Discovery and reforms: Moily's model,” Hampi Kannada University former Vice-Chancellor Dr B A Viveka Rai said reading habit among elected representatives is very less. Hence, they do not have much knowledge on a particular subject. Politics is not for administration alone. Those who do not dream of a model, can not bring in social and administrative reforms. There is a need to unravel the life in village and then bring about reforms.”

He said “many a times, we corrupt young minds by giving unwanted information, thereby sowing the seeds of hatredness. Even to this day, terrorism in the form of threatening the innocent voters of dire consequences if they fail to exercise their franchise to a particular candidate takes place. In the name of caste, religion and money power, an unwritten form of terrorism takes place even to this day. We can not bring in reforms unless we make study on such activities.”

Kuvempu BhashaBharathi Samshodhana Kendra Chairman Dr Pradhan Gurudutt said Moily's Sri Ramayana Mahanweshanam is unique compared to other Ramayana which were written in other languages in the country. He has brought in something new in his writing and discription. Moily's concern towards society is depicted in his work.” Keshava Malagi's 'Munnudi' was released on the occasion. Senior litterateur Dr Hampa Nagarajaiah, CSI Bishop Rev Dr J S Sadananda, Welcome Committee President Dr B A Sherigar and others were present.

Istanbul: Mosques in Turkey reopened on Friday for mass prayers after more than two months as the government further eased strict restrictions to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.

Turkey has been shifting since May to a "new normal" by easing lockdown measures and opening shopping malls, barbershops and hair salons.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said many other sites -- restaurants and cafes as well as libraries, parks and beaches -- will reopen from Monday.

Hundreds of worshippers wearing protective masks performed mass prayers outside Istanbul's historic Blue Mosque for the first time since mosques were shut down in March.

In the Ottoman-era Fatih mosque, worshippers prayed both inside and outside, with the municipality handing out disinfectants and disposable carpets.

"I have waited a lot for this, I have prayed a lot. I can say it's like a new birth, thanks to God, he has brought us back here," he said.

Another worshipper, Asum Tekif, 50, said: "It has a been a long time... we missed the mosques."

Turkey, a country of 83 million, has so far recorded 4,489 coronavirus-related deaths and 162,120 confirmed cases.

Prayers in Hagia Sophia

Muslim clerics on Friday recited prayers in the Hagia Sophia, the world famous Istanbul landmark which is now a museum after serving as a church and a mosque.

The prayers were held to celebrate the anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople, today's Istanbul, by the Ottomans in 1453.

"It is very important to commemorate the 567th anniversary of the conquest ... through prayers in the Hagia Sophia," said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who attended the ceremony via videoconference.

The stunning edifice was first built as a church in the sixth century under the Byzantine Empire as the centrepiece of its capital Constantinople.

After the Ottoman conquest, it was converted into a mosque before being turned into a museum during the rule of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, in the 1930s.

But there have been hints about reconverting the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. Last year, Erdogan himself mooted the possibility of turning Hagia Sofia museum into a mosque.

Such calls have sparked anger among Christians and raised tensions with neighbouring Greece.

In 2015, a Muslim cleric recited the Koran in the Hagia Sophia for the first time in 85 years to mark the opening of an exhibition.

After Friday prayers at the Blue Mosque, a small group of Muslim worshippers shouted: "Let the chains break and let the Hagia Sophia open".

The group was later dispersed by the police who stopped them from protesting near Hagia Sophia that sits immediately opposite the Blue Mosque.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: Raja and Rani got married on Valentine's Day at Cubbon Park here.

The bride and the groom were decked up in bridal finery were heralded with traditional wedding music with nadaswaram and thavil (percussion) . The catch was that the married couple were horses.

Pro-Kannada activist and Kannada Vatal Party chairman Vatal Nagaraj performed the marriage ceremony of the two horses.

Nagaraj gave a dhoti and shirt to Raja (male horse) and a saree along with a taali (mangal sutra) to Rani (female horse).

Nagaraj has been conducting such ceremonies in the past too. Last year he had married off two sheep- Jacob and Carolyn in a similar ceremony.

The activist says he is all for love and urged anti-Valentine's Day supporters not to oppose lovers and their Valentine's Day celebration.

He also urged the Central government and the Karnataka state governments to give Rs 1 lakh and RS 50,000 respectively to the "lovers to support their love" by helping them get married.

Meanwhile, sweets were distributed to all the guests who had participated in the Valentine's Day marriage ceremony today.
