Shobha Kandodi,
I am not a Hindu but I can assure that the temples of Karnataka are much safer than Pakistan.
Modi belongs to Chaddi group. If he is really thretened why Shoba did not sugest Chaddiwlas boss Bhagawat to send his army which he claim to be far superior to our National Army.
Shoabha akka.. I guess you are a big threat to his life.. may be you are planning to become next PM..
This krishna mutt is safe for each and everyone.. Such a peacefull temple it is..
Good that he was not paid a visit. Or else you would have sent your goons and made it look like some terrorists entered from Arabian sea :D or from kaup beach :D
Our Temple is in NAMMA HEMMEYA UDUPI, not in KASHMIR where safety is a concern with few number of GOONDAS.
Once again dont make such statements highlighting safety concerns.. Our PM was in UDUPI, India.
She is a Joker in Beti Jalawo/rape karo Party. She never uttered a truth in her life. She has PhD degree from Nappur University in telling lie and fooling people. she is a waste to Karnataka and people should kick her out to Andaman.
