Mangaluru, Apr 2: As per the direction of Karnataka High Court, the administration of Mahalingehwara Temple at Puttur re-printed the invitation cards of its annual jatra mahotsava without the name of Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim and started distributing them. The festival of the temple will start on April 10.

abiThe new cards were printed in the name of Administrator, Executive Officer and priests. Additional Deputy Commissioner Kumar, who is discharging duty as Deputy Commissioner of Endowment, said that arrangements are in place for the smooth conduct of the festival.

Several Hindutva groups including Vishwa Hindu Parishad had strongly opposed the government move to print the name of a Muslim DC on the invitation card for the temple festival. They claimed that the move was contrary to Section 7 of the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act.

Later a writ petition was filed in HC, which was followed by public interest litigation petition, challenging Mr. Ibrahim's name on the invitation card. The State government initially defended Mr. Ibrahim's name on the invitation card saying that it was as per protocol as the temple was managed by the Muzrai department.

The government then submitted in the High Court that it was its mistake to have included the name of Mr. Ibrahim in the invitation card. The High Court in its March 30 order asked the government to print additional invitation cards without the name of the Deputy Commissioner on them.

Al-hamdullillah....
Thanks to ALLAH...
It is better to avoid in the matters of SHIRK - Associating partners with ALLAH, the God who Created all that exists and that is in between the skies and the Earth..

The hindu holy book says : that people who are materialistic WORSHIP demigods - Gods besides the TRUE GOD.

The upanishads says:
Ekam evadvitiyam : He is one only without a second (Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1)1
Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah : Of him there are neither parents nor lord. - (Svestasvatara upanishad 6:9)2
Na tasya PRATIMA asti : There is no likeness or image of HIM - (Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19)2

Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata : O friends do not WORSHIP anybody but him, the divine ONE. Praise HIM alone.
