Speaking at the beginning of the Mahotsava, Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari D. Veerendra Heggade said he was impressed by the qualities of Mata Amritanandamayi, who blessed devotees irrespective of their caste, creed or religion, and guided her disciples in the right way. India has the unique tradition of guru-shishya system, he said.

In her address, Mata Amritanandamayi said one should accept with smile whatever comes in life. One should think positively; anger, jealousy and pride make one sick.

Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP; J.R. Lobo, Mangaluru South MLA; and Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, former district Kannada Sahitya Parishat president, were present.

Thousands of devotees have gathered on the mutt premises on Sulthan Bathery Road.

Never bow down to the creation of ALLAH.
ALLAH is the only GOD who is worthy of Worship
If U dont try to find, what ALLAH says?
U will never understand such deception who rule over U.
Knowledge of ONE TRUE GOD will come only when we look for HIM...
Please Just go online and look who ALLAH is ? ... U will be guided by our creator, if u take 1 step honestly..
Dont live a life of UNAWARE ... Dont fall to the traps of deceivers who play in the minds of the people who are far away from the TRUE CREATOR of all that exists...
TRY to know ALLAH, U will NOT need any intermediatary to reach God in this LIFE. U will have Content in LIFE when we depend on ALLAH.
ALLAH is sufficient for those who TRUST HIM.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
