Mangalore, June 24: Several young boys were initiated to chanting of the 'Gayathri Mantra' amid Vedic rituals as part of a 'Samuhika Upanayanam' ceremony organised under the aegis of Shree Krishna Dharmopayana Samithi here on Sunday.

The mass thread ceremony organised at Shree Krishna Kalyana Mandir in the city was the 43rd annual event. The devotees recited Mantra on the occasion.

The 'Samuhika Upanayanam' was conducted mainly for the benefit of young boys hailing from families below the poverty line.

Organisers said that the registered participants took part in the ritual along with their parents. The participants did neither have to bring any items required for the event, nor had to pay the 'Sambhavana' to the 'purohits' conducting the event.

“The young boys were initiated to Gayathri Mantram to enable them explore the spiritual knowledge as per the Vedic tradition for universal well-being,” they said.

The thread ceremony was followed by a religious discourse on 'Gayathri Mahime'.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Prof M B Puranik, former president of Kannada Sahitya Parishad Harikrishna Punaroor, working president of Samithi Aroor Prabhakar Rao, Treasurer Shubhanada Rao and Secretary Sudhakar Rao Pejawar were present among others.

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday introduced the Karnataka Municipalities and Certain Other Law (Amendment) Bill, 2020, in the assembly to give voters the opportunity to reject candidates in civic polls.

The bill, if passed, will enable election officials to offer the NOTA option in the elections to municipal corporations on the lines of assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

An amendment bill which seeks to enable the government to set up a separate university for the districts of Raichur and Yadgir was also tabled. The government said the workload of Gulbarga University necessitated creation of a separate university for the two districts, a move that will also help reduce regional imbalance in Kalyana Karnataka region.

Another amendment bill seeks to allow industrial units, which have failed to start operations on allotted land after seven years, to sell off the parcels to another unit. Bills which empower authorised agencies to regulate turf clubs and horse racing and regulate salary and pension of teachers in higher education institutions were also introduced in the assembly on Monday.

Udupi, Apr 18: The Adamaru Mutt and Mutt-owned educational institutions donated fifty five lakhs, fifty five thousand, five hundred and fifty five rupees to the PM-CARES Fund on Friday.

Sri Vishwakapriyattirtha Sripada, while donating the amount, delivered the message that in these difficult times in our country, the government has no sources of tax revenue but the cost of various departments especially public health expenses are increasing.

We leave three meals a week and distribute the money saved to those in need. We pray that India becomes the first COVID-19-free country in the world with all our efforts.
