1:15 PM Posted by ukmad
In my endeavor to get you stories from all fields here is one which will help you lead a healthy & disciplined life, KAIVALYA YOGA MANDIR.
As everyone is well aware, YOGA is an ancient science developed by our forefathers, thousands of years ago, so that mankind could lead a very HEALTHY & DISCIPLINED LIFE, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, over the years, they seem to have ignored this great science.
SWAMI KUVALYANANDJI
YOGAMAHIRISHI HANAMANTRAO SAWANT
They sincerely feel that interest in YOGA has to be revived amongst the citizens and it is with this intention and with the inspiration drawn from Yogamahirishi Late Shri Hanmantrao Savant, they formed a public institution, KAIVALYA YOGA MANDIR, duly registered under the Societies Act, 1960.
BRIEF HISTORY of KAIVALYA YOGA MANDIR
An informal group of Yoga enthusiasts (all disciples of Shri Hanmantrao Savant), under the dynamic leadership of Prof. Vijay Majali, started the regular practice of Yoga in 1978 at Shri Ram Mandir, Tilakwadi, Belgaum. As time passed by, our family of Yoga enthusiasts grew by leaps and bounds. In next to no time many ladies started evincing interest and hence an exclusive batch for ladies was started, ably led by Mrs. Shoba Majali. The strength increased to such an extent that the premises of Shri Ram Mandir was insufficient and hence the thought of having our own building, germinated in the minds of all the members. 
Due to the good offices of Shri Prabhakar Kore, M.P., they were allotted about 5 gunthas of land by BUDA on which our building stands, today. Having got the land, they approached the philanthropic citizens of Belgaum for donations and the response was overwhelming. Not even in their dreams had they imagined that they would be able to collect so much money, in a comparatively short period of time. Our efforts were further boosted by Mr. Vijay (Bandu) Pusalkar (a worthy son of Belgaum now residing in Pune), who very generously donated a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/- towards the building fund. They also received a very generous donation of Rs.1,00,000/- from Mrs. Manorama Kulkarni. Another booster, to our efforts, came from Shri Narayanrao Tarale, the then MLA of Belgaum, who sanctioned a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/- from the Local Area Development Fund. Thus, with the good wishes of all, the building was completed in JANUARY 2000. Since then, Yoga is regularly practiced at the Hall. On an average, almost 150 people practise Yoga everyday at the Hall.

ACTIVITIES
Their main objective is to create awareness about Yoga, amongst the citizens of Belgaum, they have organized several YOGA SHIBIRS by inviting stalwarts in the field of Yoga to conduct camps , on various aspects of Yoga, in Belgaum.
Prominent among them are
1) Padmashri SADASHIVRAO NIMBALKAR from MUMBAI
2) Dr. DHANANJAY GUNDE from KOLHAPUR.
3) Shri SHRIKRISHNA VYAVAHARE from THANE
4) Shri VINOD SAMPRASAD from PUNE.
With the active participation of prominent DOCTORS from PRABHAKAR KORE’S KLE hospital, they organised THREE (03) camps on REVERSAL OF HEART DISEASES.
The doctors who guided these camps are Dr. MAHADEV DIXIT, Dr. (Mrs.) MADHURI DIXIT, Dr. (Mrs.) NEETA DESHPANDE, Dr. SURESH PATTED, and Dr. PRABHU HALKATTI.
The doctors explained, in detail, the various causes of HEART DISEASES and how one can safeguard himself from these diseases. Their scientific knowledge about the disease was combined with various YOGIC PRACTISES for the benefit of the people who attended the camps. Several aspects such as LIFESTYLE and DIET were discussed and explained. In order to OBJECTIVELY & SCIENTIFICALLY assess the effect of YOGA on the disease, several tests were conducted on the participants, before the start of the camps and the same tests were repeated at the conclusion of the camps. It was indeed very heartening to observe that there was a marked improvement in all the parameters tested, thus proving the efficacy of YOGA in the treatment of heart diseases.
The Ladies wing, under the leadership of Mrs. Shobha Majali, is also very active in the pursuit of their objectives. They have conducted various camps for ladies at the KLE Lingraj College, Jyoti College and at Shahapur. Camps for children are conducted during the summer vacations almost on an annual basis.

If Rabri Devi can why not Kasturi
4:23 PM Posted by ukmad
If Rabri Devi, who has studied only up to class four, could become Bihar CM, why can’t Kasturi function as an MP.
Spotting a poor candidate among the multitude of Crorepatis contesting the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections is no easy task. One among this rare lot is daily wage worker Kasturi who is contesting from the Belgaum parliamentary constituency.
Kasturi has been walking barefoot since she vowed four years ago not to wear footwear till a Kannada flag was hoisted atop Belgaum City Corporation. A resident of Ashray Colony in Belgaum, she has worked as a cook for seven years at the residence of a senior politician in Belgaum.

She has 50,000 cash and her husband has precious metal worth Rs. 15342 nothing else. She has passed her 5th Std. from Desnur Ashram Tal: Bailhongal.
An ardent supporter of Kannada, Kasturi is being supported by various pro-Kannada organisations who have taken charge of her election campaign. “Hoisting a Kannada flag atop Belgaum City Corporation will be my first task if I am elected. The only objective of my life is to stop the continued atrocities of Marathi people on Kannadigas in Belgaum,” she says.
“The court may has ordered not to hoist any flags other than the tricolour on the government buildings, but my struggle will continue until the court allows the hoisting of the Kannada flag atop the corporation,” she asserts.
Her husband works as an agricultural labourer In the affidavit filed with the election commission, Kasturi said she had Rs 50,000 in cash and a 10 gram golden mangalsootra.
She has been involved in pro-Kannada movements since 1994 and was jailed four times during the pro-Kannada protests in Belgaum in the last few years.
Campaigning barefoot has not been easy. “I developed pain in my feet and had to be admitted to hospital twice,” she says
Several Kannada leaders like Arjun Hampiholi and Rajendra Desai are supporting her. Hundred Kannada workers in Belgaum contributed Rs 100 each to help her file her nomination papers. When asked whether a class four dropout would be able to work effectively as MP, her supporters said, “If Rabri Devi, who has studied only up to class four could become Bihar CM, why can’t Kasturi function as an MP?”
Helipad is a meeting point
1:38 PM Posted by ukmad
This picture was taken on Tuesday 07-04-2009 at 6.15 pm at the temporary helipad made by the MLIRC during their various training sessions on the Savgaon Road (after Nanawadi). This road has normally very less traffic and you can see a lot of evening walkers on the sides.
That day in particular I was there with my kids and wife to play as normally no one turns up & I love capturing the sun setting at the backdrop there but to my surprise I saw this gang of boys and girls and one more couple there. After a few minutes one girl was waiting for someone and at last her friend came in. In all I saw 5 couples there on the ground who walked down further away, from the boys and girls in the photo also.
Down the same road a new college Angadi Institute of management and technology is being constructed once that’s started this helipad could become be a Friends point or Lovers point, it depends on you, and how you take it.
I don’t want to make any comments on this photo, I would ask each one of you to comment on this.
Ramesh Kudachi continues Party-hopping now joins BJP
5:21 PM Posted by ukmad
Party-hopping has become the order of the day. It is no more surprise for the people to see their “leaders” quitting a party and joining another, which he or she has been criticising and opposing on various issues.
To join this gang is Ramesh Kudachi the former Congress MLA from Belgaum, who was in the JD(s) till Wednesday, has now joined hands with Suresh Angadi and has asked people to vote for Angadi. He and some of his supporters have publicly supported Angadi in a public meeting yesterday, but the official announcement is yet be made.
Party hoppers are no less and these parties also take in all the hoppers as they know they will do the same one day. Party hopping is a necessity now. No ideologies nothing it’s just opportunist politics. Unlike in the past, leaders now party-hop only for personal gains and not for the sake of the people or any ideology.
