SC approves the
annual budget
By Vijay Bhor
CBD-BELAPUR: The
Standing Committee
of Navi Mumbai
Municipal Corporation has unanimously approved
the Commissioner’s
budget proposal for
2015-16 but only
after increasing it
by Rs 25 crores.
On Friday, the
administration had
presented the
budget proposal for
Rs 1,866 crores.
When it came up
for discussion in the
Standing Committee
on Monday, many
members felt that
some items needed
greater provisions.
They suggested that
the provision for road
repairs be increased by
Rs 14 crores and that
for repair and maintenance of school buildings by
Rs 3
crores.
They also
wanted
Rs 8
crores
more to
cover the
electricity
bills of
various
departments.
As for the revenue
side, they suggested
But only after
increasing the
provisions by
` 25 crores
that the administration ask for a loan of
Rs 25 crores from
MMRDA.
So, at the end, the
proposal stood revised
to Rs 1,891 crores
which was passed by
the committee unanimously.
Strangely, out of
the 16 members of the
Committee, today’s
meeting was attended
by only 8. There was
no serious discussion
either, according to
scribes who were
present on the occasion.
Congress, NCP on the downslide
Corporators desert them and swell the ranks of Shiv Sena
I’ve no solution to
your problem. But it
certainly inspires me
to write a poem.
By Vijay Bhor
CBD-BELAPUR: In a
desperate search for ‘fortunes’, three Congress
leaders have switched
sides and joined Shiv
Sena. They are sitting
corporators Ranganath
Auti, Ramshet Waghmare, Vilas Bhoir, Education Committee member Arvind Naik and
Ankush Sonavane. Arvind Naik’s wife Sindhu
Naik and Ankush
Sonavane’s wife Hemangi Sonavane are sit-
ting
corporators.
Though they have not
resigned from their party, it can be assumed
that with their husbands switching sides,
they too can be taken to
have done the same.
Also swelling the
ranks of the Sena are
Shivram Patil of NCP
and his wife, sitting corporator Anita Patil. For
a long time, they have
been active in the civic
circles as independent
members. Some time
CMYK
before the last election,
this powerful couple had
joined Shiv Sena only to
switch sides and join
NCP just before the election. Now, they are joining the Sena for a second time. All of them
were welcomed into the
party by the Sena President Udhav Thackeray. Sena minister
Eknath Shinde, MP
Rajan Vichare and deputy leader of the party,
Vijay Nahata were also
present on the occasion.
‘BJP will win this time’

whether Naik is harbouring any intention to

The victim Kuldeep

information of a Dr.

Pedophile molests three minors in Turbhe
By Vikram Gaikwad
TURBHE: A man molested three
boys while they were on their way
home by luring them with sweets
and money in Indira nagar MIDC
area of Turbhe on Saturday.
The three victims are students
of a school in MIDC area in Turbhe
and are in fourth grade. On Saturday, while they were returning
home, a youth of 18 – 20 age group
approached them and started taking with them. He promised the
three sweets and some money to follow him. Then, the man took them
in the area behind the ‘Mayur’ Cold
storage and sexually assaulted
them. The boys returned home, but
kept mum about the incident for
some days, until one of the boys
started feeling pains from the assault and told his parents about the
ordeal he and his friends went
through.
Accordingly, the boys’ parents
lodged a complaint against the youth
with Turbhe MIDC police. The police have caught hold of a youth who
is suspicious of the crime based on
his description given by the boys on
Monday. The police however are still
investigating said PI Waghmare.

The Narada Bhakti Sutra (IAST: Nârada Bhakti Sûtra) is a
well known sutra venerated within the traditions of Hinduism,
purportedly spoken by
the famous sage, Narada. The text details the
process of devotion
(Bhakti), or Bhakti
yoga and is thus of particular importance to
many of the Bhakti
movements within Hinduism. It has inspired
the disciples to respect
Guru just like their
parents. The Story of
Narada as told by the

Vishaka Hariji can be

time the experience will
be newer and the feeling as immense as can

CM Kejriwal up against reality
We heard the shocking opinion that almost 50% of the money received by the
contractors for undertaking civil works is
distributed as commission among various
stake holders – politicians, executives,
engineers, supervisors and even clerks in
the accounts department of the civic body.
This applies to the contracts given by the
state as well as the central government
department and the numerous corporations. Will Arvind Kejriwal, who is by now
acknowledged as the greatest crusader
against corruption in the country, deal with
this type of corruption? Definitely, that is
costing the country more than the money
taken by the ubiquitous and irritating little constable. That will mean taking on the
most powerful in the country! Aside, reports say that a few slum dwellers, whose
jhopdis were razed by the Delhi police,
held a demonstration in front of the CM’s
house a day after he took oath. What sort
of promise does he have to give them?
Does his election manifesto contain a
promise to regularize all the unauthorized
slum colonies? Leave that also aside. How
is he going to fulfil the promise made to
contract workers of DTC? Is he going to
take on the rikshaw drivers and street
vendors who are a law unto themselves in
Delhi but who are also his biggest supporters? These issues will bring out the true
colour and the innate strength of Kejriwal
and his off beat party, AAP.
That is not to reject the party as no different from the numerous other parties in
the field. As for Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, two cash rich municipal corporations,
we need drastic cleaning. People are waiting for an alternative like AAP which is
likely to get widespread support if it contests the election. The only fear is that its
ranks may be filled with the defectors from
one or the other existing parties who are
ready to cross over to take advantage of
the visible wave in the air. And, with Shiv
Sena at the core, Mumbai’s population is
far from cosmopolitan as compared to Delhi’s. That doesn’t mean that Kejriwal
should not try his hand in Mumbai. He and
his men should jump into the fray. No
doubt, the party has proved to be different in the way it collected election funds.
People came forward and contributed on
their own. There was no trace of corruption in the exercise despite an isolated
case of a large donation coming from unnamed sources. It is this image that will
carry it forward. With Anna Hazare having
staked his moral support to Kejriwal – as
a product of his anti-corruption movement
– he will remain a bright star in the arena
of anti-corruption movement. His moral
principles and economic policies however
will come in for close questioning. Regularising illegal colonies is one such issue.
It may win him votes but will not stand the
scrutiny of reason.

Match In Numbers:
1 - Virat Kohli became the first Indian
batsman to score a century against Pakistan
in the ICC World Cup.
The previous highest
score by an Indian batsman before this match
was Sachin Tendulkar’s 98 in Centurion in 2003. Only one
team had ever chased
more than 300 at Adelaide Oval – Sri Lanka
playing England way
back in 1999
2 - Kohli became the
first Indian batsman to
score two centuries in
the opening match of a
World Cup Tournament. Previously he
had scored a century in
the first match in World
Cup 2011 too. India’s
Mohit Sharma bowled
economically and took
two wickets in his
World Cup debut. In
addition there were two
century partnerships
against Pakistan in
this game the first of
129 runs between
Shikhar Dhawan and
Kohli & was followed by
a 110-run partnership
between Kohli and
Suresh Raina.

Con-Bizman dupes partners Navi Mumbai Police felicitated
by Commissioner K.L Prasad
of more than ` 4 crore
By Vikram Gaikwad
VASHI: Navi Mumbai’s crime branch unit
has arrested a con –
businessman
who stole cash
worth Rs 4
crore 46 lakhs
which
was
meant to be the
initial investment, from a
Vashi business
partner. The
accused with
his associates
had similarly
duped a Goregaun businessman of Rs 29 lakhs.
Conman, Deepak
Karane is a resident of
Ghatkhopar and had
met Vashi businessman
Satish Sawant in 2010.
He had proposed a mobile phone business
plan to Sawant, which
was to be set up in sec17 of Vashi. He had
agreed to be the partner in his business and
had contributed Rs. 4
crore and 46 lakhs as
capital investment for
the company. Karane,
however had other
plans and fled with the
amount. When Sawant
came to know that he
was being cheated, he
demanded him to return his money. But
instead, was threatened
to keep mum about the
whole ordeal. Accordingly, he had lodged a
complaint against
Karane with Vashi Police.
Meanwhile,
Karane was already
onto his next victim,
who happened to be a
Mahashivratri...
dissolves into. It is from
that stage, the deity
Lord Shiva takes form.
‘Aum....is
not
mine...but belongs to
Shiva.’
Essentially, the
word ‘Nama’ comes
from the Vedic chants
of ‘Na Mama’ (Not
mine) and ‘Namoh’
means to offer oneself in
Obeisance. ‘Na Mama’
expresses the true attitude of the bhakta or
practitioner. All that is,
belongs to God and I am
only offering to God
what is already owned
by God. This spirit of
surrender and selflessness is the ESSENCE
of this seemingly mystical but in fact truly
simple spiritual practice!
‘Aum
Namah
Shivaya’ is one of the
most significant mantras in Hinduism,
which translates to Praising or Giving in to
the Supreme (evident as
‘Aum’ in it) Lord (Shiva). Shiva is considered
to be the One into whom
all the existence ‘ends
or reaches’. According
Cont. from pg. 5
to Hindu mythology
there are three Gods
who run this creation.
The Brahma - who creates the universe, the
Vishnu – who preserves
the Universe and the
Shiva- who in the end
destroys the universe.
Among the three deities, Shiva, though considered as destroyer,
also symbolize the - the
inner self which remains intact even after
everything ends.
This mantra is best
for meditation...it effects positively on all
our chakras. Om
Namah Shivay is a
very powerful mantra.
It has been said about
this mantra that if this
mantra vibrates continually in your heart,
then you have no need
to perform austerities,
to meditate, or to practise yoga.
The two syllables
na- and mah- can be
translated as “I humbly bow to you”. The
three syllables shi-vaaya invoke Lord Shiva
and all his energies to
bless us and lead us to
Ghansoli businessman
Laximinarayan Yadav.
The police had been after him for years but he
had been successful in
evading them, when at
last he was caught by
Navi Mumbai’s crime
branch unit.
During his interrogation, Karane confessed to have bought
cell phones of various
companies from Laxminarayan, worth of Rs.
29 lakhs with the help
of his two associates
and to have duped him
by paying him with
non-cashable checks.
the highest state of
peace and meditation.
The five elements
too, are embodied in
this ancient formula
for invocation. Na is
earth, Ma is water, Si
is fire, Va is air, and Ya
is ether, or akasha.
Om Namah Shivay
is a very powerful mantra. It has been said
about this mantra that
if this mantra vibrates
continually in your
heart, then you have
no need to perform austerities, to meditate, or
to practise yoga. To repeat this mantra you
need no rituals or ceremonies, nor must you
repeat it at an auspicious time or in a particular place.” This
mantra is free of all
restrictions. It can be
repeated by anyone,
young or old, rich or
poor and no matter
what state a person is
in, it will purify him.
Nama% Œivaya has
such power, the mere
intonation of these syllables reaps its own
reward in salvaging
the soul from bondage
of the treacherous instinctive mind!

said, BJP party workers
are working hard and

50 Thousand eye donors till year end
The Humanity First Foundation pledges to register
50,000 willing eye donors by the end of the year
By Vishal T. Malhotra
KHARGHAR: Sunday
was yet another day of
achievement as the
Humanity First Foundation launched
their eye donation
drive amidst enthusiastic volunteers and visitors
who had poured
in
from
all
around. The drive
which is being
carried out in collaboration with
the Advanced Eye
Hospital and Institution (AEHI),
received tremendous response in
just a single day
of campaigning.
Naved Shaikh,
founder, HFF, shared
his
enthusiasm,
“There is great need for
eye donors and a great
dearth for the same.
We have just initiated
a process that will help
eradicated religious taboos that hold eye donors back from contributing towards such
noble cause. We are determined to sign up as
many people as we can
by the end of year and
as a matter of fact,
have made our inten-
tion public.”
The event was carried under the guidance and support of Dr.
Bhushan Phadtare,
AEHI, who took some
time out of his busy
schedule.
“It really comes as
a great relief to see an
organization with
such wide a network,
pledging towards such
cause. It really is a
wonderful aspiration.
People need to be made
aware of the need for
such donations. It is
my pleasure to be a
part and parcel of the
drive and we pledge all
our support as an organization.”
The drive garnered
the support of more
than 200 residents who
willingly poured in
with more than 150 onthe-spot registrations,

aspects.

has now publicly
pledged to sign up 50
thousand donors by
December, 2015 and
with the kind of response they drew in on
the very first day, the
number seems achievable.
