Pooja performed outside temple does not reach God: Kukke Subrahmaniya management
Mangaluru: The management of Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple has issued a public circular saying that poojas conducted outside the temple may not reach god.
The temple’s circular comes in the wake of the increasing number of middlemen, who according to the temple management are taking devotees for a ride by luring them with private poojas and special rituals and fleecing them.
“Rituals and pujas performed outside the premises, for example on the river’s banks, marriage halls and other temples or in mutts, are purely private in nature. It is believed that such pujas or offerings may not reach Lord Shree Kukke Subrahmanya,” the temple has said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
