Brahmins hold Yaga; kill animals, consume meat along with soma rasa'

May 4, 2016

Shivamogga, May 4:?In an incident that has sent shock waves, eight goats were sacrificed by a section of Sankethi Brahmins at Soma Yaga at Srikantapura on the outskirts of Mattur, in Shivamogga taluk, recently.

The animal sacrifice was made at the six-day yaga held from April 22 for public welfare. After performing the puja, the goats with their mouths tied were sacrificed near the fire altar (agni kunda). Later, parts of the goats were chopped off and sacrificed in the fire. The chief priest who took part in the yaga ate the meat, after consuming Soma Rasa.' As many as 17 priests from different parts of the country, including Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, took part in the ritual.

Organisers of the yaga claimed that animals were sacrificed to appease gods during the Vedic period. Lord Rama had organised such rituals and there is reference to it in Ramayana, a great epic. However, another section of the community described it as an unfortunate incident as Sankethis follow the Advaitha philosophy, which treats sacrifice as an evil practice.

Noted critic Ramachandran, who is a Sankethi, said it was inhuman and gods do not expect animal sacrfice. All religions advocate love and sympathy and not cruelty in the name of religious rituals, he said.

Another senior leader of the community, on condition of anonymity, expressed his displeasure that D?Sanathkumar, who holds a PhD in Sanskrit, had organised such an event.

Dr Sanathkumar, the organiser of the yaga, said: “I don't want to issue any statement. I am not the spokesperson of the community. The discussion on the issue is unwarraned.”

A similar sacrifice was made in the village several years ago to weaken an influential leader when S M Krishna was the chief minister.

At that time, hundreds of goats were sacrificed. Ren-owned Gamaki, the late Mattur Krishnamurthy, who belongs to Sankethi community, had opposed it. Around Rs 50 lakh is said to have been spent on the yaga.

#presstitute.. enough fake news now..

No big deals coz this had happened in shivamogga not in BIG BAZAR or any other mall, where YEDDI and CHEDDI born ,
You eat whatever you want NAYI, KATTE,BEKKU,HANDI or COW mata, that is your birth right, mean time think about others right also, don't make galate lafta dombi while having others choice...

Now priests can say, I ate, you can also eat.
This will be a turning point for vegetarians and it is costlier than meat.

Very funny...

ONLY Cow is our Mother,ONLY Cow can feel the Pain,ONLY Cow is a leaving being.rest all made of Mud they are not our Mother nor Leaving being nor they feel the Pain.

In short Only fools can fool the other Fools.

jeevan, it is not a big deal... You are just kindly invited to share the Non-Veg food.....Enjoy....

Hahahha.. Bhattru trying to explain this incident and give clarification.

There is no need to think much for clarification, it's Simple - All these years they were hiding to eat Mutton Chops, Paya , Bheja fry etc.. Now they can't resist, and there's trouble of cameras all around plus the expose in Social media. So they legalize it with a ritual!!

#BBC - Brahmins_Brilliant, yet - Cowards

Barbecue Motion.....very tasty.....if it is done by brahmins....

Animal abuse is totally wrong in the name of god. will soon sue all of this bastards.

god bless all of us,

Yahh i also heard about this yaga, its famous nothing special in this.

in the name of god, they can do whatever they want, but can oppose us for caw slaughtering,

its their ritual. waste of reporting news on this.

Eid al-Adha also called the \Sacrifice Feast\" or \"Bakr-Eid\", is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide each year, and considered the holiest of the two. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of submission to God's command, before God then intervened, through his angel Jibra'il (Gabriel) and informs him that his sacrifice has already been accepted. The meat from the sacrificed animal is preferred to be divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share

Whats the big deal now.

Mysuru, Feb 14: Two weeks after her engagement with another boy, a 20-year-old girl who was in love with a boy, committed suicide at her residence in Nanjangud on Wednesday.

Meghana's parents have accused her lover Manikanta of Hemmargala of abetting her suicide.

Ayodhya over, now Kashi and Mathura have to be liberated: K S Eshwarappa

News Network

August 5,2020

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples.

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
