Gita's teachings sole path to peace amid intolerance, says Karnataka Guv
Agency: Udupi (Karnataka), Jul 25 (PTI) Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on Friday said in a world increasingly plagued by violence and intolerance, the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita offer the sole path towards achieving lasting peace. He was speaking after inaugurating the Sri Krishna Janmashtami Mandalotsava at Rajangana in Udupi organised by Paryaya Sri Puthige Matha today. The 48-day festival, steeped in spiritual and cultural tradition, will take place from August 1 to September 17. 'The life of Lord Krishna offers profound lessons in Dharma Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. His teachings are timeless and especially relevant in the present era of unrest," Gehlot said. The Governor referred to Lord Krishna's guidance to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, stating that Nishkama Karma—performing one's duty without attachment—is a value the youth must adopt. 'Youngsters should embrace bhakti, kartavya and develop a fearless yet sensible mindset," he said. He praised the Sri Krishna Mutt in Udupi for being a beacon of Indian cultural and spiritual heritage. Gehlot also lauded Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji of Paryaya Sri Puthige Matha for spreading Sanatana Dharma globally through its branches. He said festivals like the Mandalotsava not only celebrate religious traditions but also promote social harmony and instil cultural pride. 'Lord Krishna incarnated to uphold dharma and defeat adharma. His life continues to guide us towards righteousness, compassion and courage," the Governor said.

Roaring tributes pour in as Uttarakhand celebrates Jim Corbett's 150th birth anniversary
Dehradun, From the dense jungles to the villages, the legacy of Jim Crobett echoed through Uttarakhand on Friday as officials, environmentalists, and local residents came together to pay homage to the legendary conservationist on his 150th birth anniversary. Roaring tributes pour in as Uttarakhand celebrates Jim Corbett's 150th birth anniversary A series of events were held at places tied to his life and work, including the Corbett Tiger Reserve, Chhoti Haldwani , Kotdwar and Kalagarh, among other places, to take Corbett's message of conservation to the people. Born in Nainital on July 25, 1875, Corbett began his life as an efficient hunter and had killed 33 man-eater tigers and leopards by the time he was in his 30s. However, he underwent a change of heart later in life and became a conservationist dedicated to saving tigers and wildlife. Today, he is widely regarded as the father of tiger conservation in India. "It was Jim Corbett who, for the first time, described the tiger as a large-hearted, gentle creature. It was he who sensitised the entire world to the need for tiger conservation," senior naturalist Rajesh Bhatt said. "His name has become synonymous with conservation. It was he who gave the concept of tiger conservation to the world," he said. Forest officials, environmentalists, nature guides and local residents came together in Ramnagar, where the famous tiger reserve is named after the hunter-turned wildlife conservationist, exists as well his winter abode Kaladhungi and other places connected with his journey to honour his unique contribution to India's wildlife, Director of Corbett Tiger Reserve Saket Badola told PTI video service. Programmes were also held to mark the occasion at Chhoti Haldwani a model village established by Corbett over 221 acres in 1915 Dhangadi Museum, Kotdwar and Kalagarh to take Jim Corbett's message of conservation to people, he said. Wildlife activists credited Corbett as the man who sensitised the world towards the importance of tiger conservation. "Perhaps there would have been no tigers nor a National Park like this without a farsighted wildlife conservationist like Jim Corbett," environmentalist Sanjay Chimwal said. "Corbett was the first who think of wildlife conservation in India. His contribution to both conservation and tourism is immense," another wildlife enthusiast, Imran Khan, said. Local businessman Anil Chaudhry, who sells souvenirs near the national park, said, "Nothing works here without the name of Corbett". "Hundreds of hotels, resorts and shops are named after Corbett in the area. He has become part of our identity and the basis of our livelihood," Chaudhry said. Apart from being a hunter turned conservationist, Corbett was a gifted storyteller who authored bestsellers like "Man Eaters of Kumaon", "Jungle Lore", "The Temple Tiger", "The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag" and "My India" in which he immortalised his encounters with the big cats.

Rakhi And Sawan Purnima On The Same Day This Year
This year, Sawan Purnima fast will be observed on August 8, while bathing, donation and Rakhi will be celebrated on August 9, as per the timing of the Purnima tithi Sawan Purnima, observed on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Shravan, is considered highly auspicious. The day is marked by rituals such as holy bathing, donation, and fasting, all dedicated to Lord Shiva, for whom the month of Shravan is especially dear. This full moon also coincides with the celebration of Rakshabandhan, the cherished festival that symbolises the bond between brothers and sisters. However, this year, the rituals of Sawan Purnima, including the fast and bathing-donation, will fall on different days, while Rakhi will be celebrated on the same day as the bathing and donation ritual. Astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava from Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, shares key details about the timings and significance of this sacred day. Sawan Purnima 2025 Date Sawan Purnima Fast The Sawan Purnima fast will be kept on Friday, August 8, as the full moon tithi concludes by noon the next day. The moonrise on this day will take place at 6:42 PM, and this is when devotees should offer Arghya to the moon. Worshipping the moon on Purnima Arghya is an integral part of the fasting ritual, believed to bring peace, virtue, and blessings. Sawan Purnima Bathing And Donation Scriptures emphasise the importance of Udaya Tithi for rituals like bathing and donation. Therefore, when Sawan Purnima fast is observed on August 8, Sawan Purnima bathing and donation will take place on Saturday, August 9. The most auspicious time for this is during Brahma Muhurta, from 4:22 AM to 5:04 AM. Bathing and donating on this day are said to cleanse sins and earn spiritual merit. Rakshabandhan 2025 Date Raksha Bandhan is a day when sisters tie Rakhi to their brothers and pray for their well-being, while brothers promise to protect their sisters. It's a celebration of love, protection, and a lifelong bond. This year, Rakshabandhan also falls on Sawan Purnima, Saturday, August 9. As there is no Bhadra on this day, the festival can be celebrated throughout the day. The most auspicious time to tie Rakhi is between 5:47 AM and 1:24 PM. Auspicious Yogas on Sawan Purnima Three highly auspicious yogas will be formed on this year's Sawan Purnima: These yogas are believed to amplify the spiritual benefits of rituals performed on this day. Rog Panchak on Sawan Purnima Rog Panchak will start at 2:11 AM on August 10 and will last for five days. Although it technically begins on the tithi of Sawan Purnima, there will be no impact on Raksha Bandhan celebrations, which are based on the sunrise-to-sunrise cycle. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 25, 2025, 11:40 IST News astrology Rakhi And Sawan Purnima On The Same Day This Year | Timings And Rituals Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
