Mangaluru, October 5: Brisk preparations are going on for ‘Mangaluru Dasara 2015’ organized by Shree Gokarnanatha Temple, Kudroli.
The Navaratri celebrations will be held from October 13th to October 24th, informed B Janardhan Poojary – Former Union Minister as well as managing trustee of Kudroli Shree Gokarnanatheshwara Temple at a press meet held on Monday October 5th at Kudroli temple auditorium here.
We have decided to organize grand celebrations of this year’s Mangaluru Dasara. This year Mangaluru Dasara and renovation of temple will complete 25 years. So we have decided to celebrate Bramhakalashotsava of the temple too, he said.
Poojary said, “I was disappointed when Chief Minister said that during Mysuru Dasara this year, Jamboo Savari will not be celebrated in a grand way. But the CM has changed his decision, which is good news. If Dasara is celebrated, large number of people will come together and pray to God”, Poojary added.
On October 13th, 14th and 15th, pooja and prayers will be offered to God to convince the chief minister, prime minister and other politicians concerned to drop the Yettinahole project in the interest of the people of coastal Karnataka and also to provide an alternative option to address the drinking water problem in Kolar, Tumkur and Chikkaballapur region. Bramhakalashotsava will be observed on October 16th, informed Poojary.
Poojary also urged the chief minister to provide reservation to poor people belonging to the upper caste category mainly Brahmins and GSBs. He questioned the state government whether poor people in these communities existed or not.
In the press meet, H S Sairam, president, Kudroli temple, temple managing committee members Raghavendra Kulur, Padmaraj R, B K Tharanath, Harikrishna Bantwal and others were present.
