Santosh Guruji appeals Bunts community to stop lavishness and glitter of Nagaradhane
World Bunts Convention-2018
Udupi, September 9: Vishwasantosh Bharati Guruji of Barakur Mahasansthan appealed the bunts community to stop lavishness and squandering of money in the name of Nagaradhane and spend that amount to help the poor in the community.
Speaking at the World Bunts Convention-2018, organized by the Federation of World Bunts Associations and Udupi Bunts Associations, at Ammanni Ramanna Shetty auditorium here on Sunday, the Guruji said that the Bhootaradhane and Nagaradhane of the bunts community were missing the track due to lavishness and squandering of money. The spiritual and religious rituals of the bunts and Tuluvas should be passed on to the next generation. Every community would have the poor and the rich. Each community may have only 10 per cent rich people. The bunts community also has majority of poor and it was the duty of the community to help them, he said.
In the name of Bhootaradhane and Nagaradhane, around Rs 30 crore is being spent in the district. Bunts would spend crores for Nagamandala rituals. The community people should think of minimizing the expenses. They could conduct the rituals in just Rs 9-10 lakh and remaining amount could be contributed to the poor and their health. It would surely give some solace. So, stop lavishness in the Nagamandala, Bhootaradhane and other religious rituals. Conduct marriages in a simple way and live happily without hating anybody in the society, he said.
Gurudevananda Swamiji of Odiyoor Mutt said that “Bunt means organizer or protector. It is another name for self confidence. Bunt is one who lives and let others to live. If we have security for the society, we need to have commitment in the religion. Bunts community is matriarchal dominated society due to which, the community has grown strongly”, he said.
Bunt community was not lagging behind in any sectors. The community should be in the front in social service. Only those who have love could create a healthy society. If the mother tongue is survived, the culture would survive, he said.
Businessman couple Shashirekha Anand Shetty inaugurated the stage. Federation president Aikala Harish Shetty presided over the programme in which, Bunts alias Nadavara Sangha president Ajith Kumar Rai Maladi were the chief guests.
Kaup Leeladhar Shetty of the Reception Committee. Vijay Prasad Shetty, Kolladi Balakrishna Rai, Kadri Navaneeth Shetty, Ashok Pakkala, Dr Roshan Kumar Shetty and others were present.

Bihar govt to constitute 100 fast-track courts to expedite disposal of criminal cases: Home min
Patna (PTI): Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday announced that the state government will establish 100 fast-track courts (FTCs) to ensure the swift disposal of pending cases.
He said that the move also aims to ease the burden on regular courts for them to accord due attention to sensitive cases.
Choudhary said the decision in this regard has been made considering that over 18 lakh cases are pending before different courts in the state.
The constitution of FTCs will "bring in a big relief" to the judicial system and litigants, he said.
"To operationalise 100 FTCs across 38 districts and sub-divisions, the government will undertake large-scale recruitment," the home minister asserted in a statement.
He said that a total of 900 posts, including those of bench clerks, office clerks, stenographers, deposition writers, data entry operators, drivers, process servers and peons, will be filled.
Choudhary also announced that 79 courts will be designated as 'act courts' to fast-track cases related to the Arms Act. Swift resolution of such serious cases, he said, will strengthen law and order in the state.
The minister said that Patna alone will get eight fast-track courts, while four courts each will be set up in Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. Three FTCs each are planned for Nalanda (Bihar Sharif), Rohtas (Sasaram), Saran (Chhapra), Begusarai, Vaishali (Hajipur), East Champaran (Motihari), Samastipur and Madhubani.
Similarly, two courts each will be established in West Champaran (Bettiah), Saharsa, Purnea, Munger, Nawada, Jehanabad, Arwal, Aurangabad, Kaimur (Bhabhua), Buxar, Bhojpur (Arrah), Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Siwan, Gopalganj, Supaul, Madhepura, Araria, Kishanganj, Katihar, Banka, Jamui, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai and Khagaria. One FTC each is also proposed for the sub-divisional courts of Naugachia and Bagaha.
