Hindu bodies to launch campaign against 'Azan' in Karnataka


Bengaluru, Apr 23 (IANS): Hindu organisations in Karnataka are all set to carry out door-to-door campaigns against 'Azan' from Saturday across the state.

The campaign will be kick-started from Shivanahalli Circle in Rajajinagar locality of Bengaluru.

Sri Rama Sena has given out a call for the campaign and Rishi Kumara Swamiji of Kali Mutt would inaugurate the campaign. The Hindu activists are planning to reach out to every household to create awareness among people about how mosques are using loudspeakers for 'Azan' violating court guidelines and how they should raise their voice against it.

The Hindu organisations have given a deadline till May 9 to vacate loudspeakers from mosques. If they fail, the Hindu organisations have planned to play out 'Hanuman Chalisa', 'Shri Rama Jaya Rama mantra' and 'Omkar' prayers from Monday 5 a.m. onwards in all temples across the state through loudspeakers.

Sri Rama Sena Founder Pramod Muthalik has met prominent religious heads and Hindu seers and mobilised their support for the cause. He had given out a call for all Hindu temples to fix mikes. Through the organisation, memorandums have been submitted to all district commissioner offices in the state to remove mikes from mosques. He had stated that the authorities have issued notices and kept sleeping over the issue.

The Sena has stated that they would not care if there is a crisis situation because of the May 9 loudspeaker campaign in the state. A submission has already been made to the Muzrai department to provide loud speakers for the temples which come under its jurisdiction. Taking no chance, the police department has beefed up the security.

    I stay in Pandeshwar, Mangalore. On most evenings when I stand in my balcony, I can hear the bhajans at a nearby temple while they perform the evening pooja. While the bhajans are still going on, at dusk, I hear the Azaan from a distance and then a few minutes later at 7PM on the dot, the bells of the nearby Rosario Church are rung. This has been the case for decades. We have peacefully co-existed and we will and should continue the same so that the future generations can also enjoy the same peace, communal harmony and social unity that our ancestors and we have. Let's not fall for anti-social elements. We should be more aware and not let these guys get into our heads. We all know why is this popping up now and what is their hidden agenda.

    The Most CORRUPTION parties, preparing for election, deviding society under caste and getting votes, fooling siceity, ENOUGH. The supreme governance proven by the brilliantly outstanding ex IAS Officer Mr. Kejriwal ONLY can turn the table in Karnataka. The promises made during the election manifesto was fulfilled by the only party AAP in Delhi, made government schools intl level. Now promising Karnataka about clean governance and corrupt free state. The best opportunity for karnataka.

    Every religious house should maintain the same decibel level as that of the azan. No discrimination. All are equal...Even now, many depend on the timings of azan irrespective of castes. Morning/afternoon/evening.....and adjust and work accordingly depending on the timing of azan....Who sees the watch ? Many a times, i too observe azan. Oh adan is over...i have to hurry fast oh its already afternoon....Morning this adan wakes me up...start prayers and to move on.

    Agree, the problem can be resolved when all religion are respected equally. Why double standards when it come to Muslim prayers. Ban all loudspeakers and sound emanating equipment's from every Temple/Mosque/Churches. Secondly, Apps are available to upgrade for many reasons but why the humans with hatred filled in their upgrade their thinking towards peace.

    @Prakash.... There are hundreds of Apps with respect to online courses... Do you go to college on enroll of online courses to pursue your graduation? Let me ask further... There are thousands of bhajans sung by various singers, then why people have to go worship ???? There are unlimited video recordings of marriage ritual performed by priest, so why to call priest during wedding, can use the video recordings...... There are unlimited apps displaying fruits and vegetables.... Please use the digital food, why the real food..... Talk sensible... Adan is not any song sung for pleasure.... Its a call for prayer to the Lord to wake up and worship Him before starting to get back to regular duties... In olden days people of every faith used to wake up early and they remained healthy..... Infact Non-Muslims backed then liked the adan so that they could also woke up early and then start their Suprabath... Have you not heard it from your parents or grandparents if you have not noticed such??? Now a days, the houses are not unlike of olden days, where one lock the room door and close the windows with either AC or fan on, then not a single noise from outside is heard.... It's not the adan which is causing hatemongers trouble, but infact the hate towards Islam and Muslims making them go against it.... God decides human deeds based on their Intentions... The intentions of todays youth can be visibly seen outside filled with full of hatred.... By the way, no matter what happens, Adan will never stop as long as Muslims are alive in the world... May be reduce the volume upto agreeable limit...

    One has to wonder why we are hearing terms like burka ban, adan ban etc these days. It's not only in India but also in European countries and North America. It's about time for one particular community to stop always playing victim and introspect. Give respect to other religions then you will get their respect.
