Udupi: About 50,000 devotees will wear the Datta Mala as part of the Datta Mala Abhiyan in Chikmagaluru, said Sharan Pumpwell, Convener of Bajrang Dal.
He was addressing the press meet at the Press Club here on December 10. Datta Mala Abhiyan will be held at the Datta Peetha for six days from December 16.
As part of the Datta Mala Abhiyan, Sankeerthan Yatra and religious meets will be held. Women will carry out the Sankeerthan Yatra from Bolarameshwara Temple to Kamadhenu Ganapathy temple on December 22. Ganahoma, Durgahoma and religious meets will be held at the Datta Peeta as part of the Sankeerthan Yatra.
On December 23, a shobha yatra will be held at Chikmagaluru. Around 50,000 devotees from across the state will arrive for the Datta peeta on December 16 and take part in various religious rituals. 15,000 Datta Maladharies will be attending from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kasargod and Kodagu districts.
“After coming to power, the Congress government has tried to restrain the Hindu community by lifting ban on cow slaughtering. Theft of cows has become common and there is no system to hear the woes of people. The government withdrew the anti-cow slaughter bill framed by the previous BJP government. The government is targeting Hindu organisation members and has been imposing the Goonda Act on them without serving a notice.” Pumpwell condemned the state government’s decision to withdraw cases against the members of Popular Front of India (PFI). “The Congress government is playing with the sentiments of the people by banning astrology programmes in TV shows,” he added.
Sharan Pumpwell also condemned the move of sending Kankanady Police Inspector Pramod on leave after the arrest of a rape accused. He expressed concern over the good police officials after the Congress came to power and criticised them of playing vote bank politics. He also opposed the visit of Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik to Mangaluru. “The state government banned Dr Praveen Bhai Thogadia and Dr Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for Hindu religious programmes, but the same government is allowing anti-Hindu preachers to visit. This is condemnable,” he added.
Assistant convener of Bajrang Dal Mangaluru region – Sunil K R, Udupi Convener – Dinesh Mendon and Vijay Goliyangadi were present.

Okay – I have no comments if people want to believe in or following certain things as long as it doesn’t harm others. My sincere request to these groups is to do something productive to address real issues in our society. Learn from Raamakrishna mission – Imagine these 15,000 datta devotes spending a few hours every weekend cleaning the city streets or some social work – It would be a great initiative and role model for others. Oh well…
50,000 Devotees to Wear Datta Mala – Sharan Pumpwell-reports, Dear readers, The Sangh Parivar and its affiliates have taken up various campaigns and programmes to “Hinduise” the syncretic shrine that traditionally had both Muslim and Hindu devotees. Is this event is Bajrang Dal version to compete with ‘Sabarimala’? Bababudangiri: RTI query turned down http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/bababudangiri-rti-query-turned-down/article4544686.ece It is hard to imagine that any information preserved in the Karnataka State Archives on the Bababudangiri shrine in Chikmagalur could potentially threaten national security or incite a breach of the law.

Is it not ‘haraam’ for your peaceful community to engage in practices like datta peeta? You may want to consult your salafist sunny masters in tribal lands. As per the reports, they have been destroying such shrines and dargahs in Syria/Iraq region. In fact, sufis will be wiped out in a week in the hands of those arabs!!

Hello ‘bruv’. I wish you would stick to giving straight answers.
The other day, I asked you some about brainwashed lil shaitans playing hide & seek (with tied and blindfolded men) & shooting them with REAL guns. And you copy-paste stuff from Wikipedia! Bring in Africa.. conflict diamonds, Leonardo Di Caprio, Al Capone, Metallica and even Shanmugam Sinha. 🙂
Sigh!
Hello ‘bruv’. I wish you would stick to giving straight answers.-Mr.Praveen
Sir, I won’t be impressed with your jibe like Originals. When you don’t understand the simple article,where the childrens are the victims like ISIS terror though it is African conflict or Syria,what explanation you want?
Do you identify the victim on merit basis ,race or religion?Read the Article well and understand the root problem of all the conflicts.
Show some maturity in this forum.
Jai Hind
As I wrote earlier, clearly something is wrong with sharia pandita. He keeps recycling a few things on this forum – Modi, Godhra, Purohita, Sadhwi etc!!! When we are talking about the current developments in Syria and Iraq, he goes all the way back to Godhra incident where a group from peaceful community poured fuel and burnt dozens of hindu kara sevakas inside a train!!! If I start listing the atrocities by peaceful community ever since godhra, I probably need a book!!! LOL
