Namasthe to all.Islam,Jewish Religion and Christianity are Semitic religions.They do not consider other religions as religions.Yehovah and Allah are none other than LORD SHIVA.MOSES' tomb is in KASHMIR.
JESUS CHRIST'S TOMB is in KASHMIR.KA'ABA IN MECCA IS A ShIVA TEMPLE. ANGEL GABRIEL IS NONE OTHER THAN GODDESS PARVATI. In HINDU religion GOD is formless and merciful to all people irrespective of their creed and race. Jews and Arabs are originated in Bharat. ABRAHAM AND SARAH ARE LORD BRAHMA AND GODDESS SARASWATI. NOAH IS NONE OTHER MANU THE PROGENITOR OF HUMAN KIND. HINDUS should deeply study their religion and other religions.

All religion is a manual for human kind to follow the guidelines of righteousness.These all religions are part of Gods revelation and we humans have intepreted for our own benefits.Hence there is variations and divisions.Those don't trust then one should do the research and conclude, rather puting your own knowledge based on assumptions.

Any one who search for truth and try to find out the reality of himself and universe will ultimately embrace Islam. As no religion except Islam gives the scientific and logical answer to the creation of universe. So the requirement is only to educate people and develop a sense to search for truth and not live the life of animal without thinking of beginning and end of this universe.

Dear Nagaraj Ramarao... (#35)

When U say there is no GOD but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the messenger of GOD... All your sins are forgiven even if it is as big as a mountain...ALLAH is most forgiving and Most merciful...

It is better for you to look Who is ALLAH and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad pbuh.. If you read QURAN...U will be introduced to the REALITY of this LIFE ... and there is a special message from God directly to YOU and ME .. who is the CREATION of HIM. It is the best blessing one should have to connect with the CREATOR. So i request all non muslims to read with open heart \ the message of the CREATOR 'The QURAN'\"

When ALLAH forgives him Who are WE to throw Him... Everything is in the hands of ALLAH and those who are blessed with the knowledge of TRUTH are blessed...Cos people who keep HATRED and EVIL are in DARKNESS from this BLESSINGS ... and we SEE lot of HATRED and EVIL coming out of RSS headquarters which many youth follow BLINDLY without knowing the REALITY of LIFE."

Pakistan is a republic country not an Islamic sharia (law) following country.If Islam was spread & preached by sword as some people think it would not be the fastest growing religion in US,Europe..I remember a conference held in Chennai by Dr.Zakir Naik in which he requested to Hindu brothers to preach Sanskrit to their children & made an appeal to then ruling party of INDIA BJP & requested to Bjp's NDA chief MR.LAL KRISHNA ADVANI & PM of our country at that period MR.ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE to make Sanskrit compulsory in schools so that everyone can read VEDAS. Hindu brothers please read your authentic vedas then read QURAN & dont fall prey to political people. MIM leader Asad uddin Owaisi is a straight forward practicing Muslim who don't fears RSS & its ideologies .may I know a single freedom fighters name from RSS.

Brothers who ever comment here against Sushil Kumar Jain's decision. Hazrath Umar was a staunch enemy of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who set out in a morning to kill him wielding sword in his hand. But previous night prophet asked to the creator of the universe to assist him by giving straight path to one of the two either Abu Jahal or Umar. Almighty has accepted his prayer and gave Islam to Umar. We wont even wonder if Modi or Ram Bagawath accepts Islam. It is all in His hand. We just keep going peacefully on the way of our prophet Muhammed peace be upon him.

The brothers who comment negative to Sushil Kumar Jain's decision should understand here one thing. This kind of miracle is in the hands of the creator. Umar the staunch enemy of our prophet Muhammad who set out to kill him wielding the sword in his hand. But previous night prophet prayed to Allah to assist him with one of the two either Abu Jahal or Umar. Allah accepted prophet's prayer and gave straight path to Umar. Even we Muslims wont wonder if Ram Bagawath or Modi accepts Islam. It is all in His hand.

ALHAMDULLILLAH (Thanks to ALLAH)... ALLAHU AKBAR (God is GREATEST)
There is NO GOD but ALLAH..& MUHAMMAD pbuh is the LAST & FINAL messenger & Slave of ALLAH.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us
There is only one God ALLAH
There were many prophet sent by ALLAH to convey this message to the People.
He selected the prophet from their own group to convey this message of ONENESS...
In SHAA ALLAH in near future... we will see more enemies of present INDIA will follow when they come to know the REALITY of ONE GOD
When we know the REALITY of TRUTH, they will know that those who WORSHIP man made Gods are in FALSE.

Dear HINDU brothers ... READ QURAN and UNDERSTAND what it says if U are really honest ... ALLAH will GUIDE U ALL>>.. & U will surely RECOGNIZE the devils of the SOciety which is encouraging YOU to commit violence... Please read QURAN and THINK & PONDER what it SAYS.

SHRIMP.jpg

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.

Udupi, Dec 2: A wave of regional pride is sweeping through Udupi district as Shagun S Verma Hegde, a talented Class 9 student from Christ King English Medium High School, Karkala, has been named the captain of the Indian National Team for the Under-15 Girls’ Volleyball Championship.

Shagun holds the unique distinction of being the sole player from Karnataka selected to represent the country in the prestigious international tournament. The championship, organized by the School Games Federation, is scheduled to take place in Shangluo, China, from December 3 to 13, where Shagun will lead the national squad.

A Remarkable Journey to the Top

Shagun’s selection is a testament to her dedication and exceptional skill on the court. Her journey included several rigorous rounds of selection:

•    She was the only player from Udupi district to qualify for the state-level selection camp.

•    Out of eight players from Karnataka who advanced to the national selection camp in Pune, Maharashtra, Shagun was the only one to secure a place in the final national squad.

•    The national camp saw participation from approximately 200 players, which was shortlisted to 23. Shagun not only made the final cut but was also ranked as the second-best player overall, solidifying her leadership role.

Shagun, who is the daughter of Sandesh Verma and Shruthiraj of Kallotte, Karkala, has trained under experienced coaches Santosh D’Souza, Jeevan D’Silva, Jairaj Poojary, and Ramesh. Her selection as the team captain has brought profound honour to her family, school, the Udupi district, and the entire state of Karnataka.

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
