\"\"MUMBAI, INDIA, June 22, 2018 (Hindustan Times): Several Hindu outfits in Maharashtra have opposed the state government’s move to take control of the Shri Shaneshwar Devasthan at Shingnapur in Ahmednagar district. These outfits allege that the move is ”anti-Hindu” and aimed at getting control over the huge donations given by devotees. ”Why should a secular government manage Hindu temples? They should fix the shortcomings in the management of these temples and hand them back to the communities,” said Sunil Ghanvat, organiser of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Maharashtra. ”In fact, government committees indulge in large-scale corruption and misuse devotees’ donations.”<\/p>\n

The Shani temple is a popular religious destination, and many people who visit the Shirdi Saibaba temple in Nashik visit it too, as it is just two hours from there. Once the state government takes it over, it will have the power to appoint trustees. Ruling parties usually appoint their party members to these trusts, as has been the case at Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak temple and Shirdi’s Saibaba temple. The state government has defended the takeover, saying that it was forced to do so owing to mismanagement by the temple’s trust members, and that the takeover would lead to better facilities for devotees.<\/p>\n

\"\"UGANDA, June 24, 2018 (Uganda Radio Network): Sanatan Dharam Mandir, (SDM), a Hindu temple in Jinja district is embarking on a campaign to sensitize school going children on the importance of yoga exercises in their daily lives. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice whose origins are traced to ancient traditions in India and the Himalayan Shamans in Tibet and Nepal. The mind-body practice has become a modern-day symbol of peace, serenity and well-being, and is glorified for its ability to reduce stress.<\/p>\n

Prabhat Singh, an official at the Hindu Temple in Jinja, observed that yoga exercises can help to sharpen the memory of school going children if started at an early stage. He says the exercises relax a child’s mind after spending more than 10 hours in a classroom environment. Singh says they are now organizing free yoga classes to learners. Schools will only be required to provide space and time on the timetable for learners to participate in yoga. He was presiding over belated activities to mark the International Yoga Day in Jinja district on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\"\"It is the unique and all-encompassing nature of Hinduism that one devotee may be worshiping Ganesha while his friend worships Subramaniam or Vishnu, and yet both honor the other’s choice and feel no sense of conflict. The profound understanding and universal acceptance that are unique in Hinduism are reflected in this faculty for accommodating different approaches to the Divine, allowing for different names and forms of God to be worshiped side by side within the temple walls.
