Ugadi

Ugadi habbada shubhaashayagalu! 
ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು!
 When eating Neem leaves or even Bevu-bella, the following shloka can be said:

शतायुर्वज्रदेहाय 
सर्वसम्पत्कराय च |
सर्वारिष्टविनाशाय 
निम्बकन्दलभक्षणम् ||

ಶತಾಯುರ್ವಜ್ರದೇಹಾಯ 
ಸರ್ವಸಂಪತ್ಕರಾಯ ಚ ।
ಸರ್ವಾರಿಷ್ಟವಿನಾಶಾಯ 
ನಿಮ್ಬಕಂದಲಭಾಕ್ಷಣಂ ।।

Meaning:
To live one hundred years with a strong body;
To get all types of wealth and to get rid of all evils, eat neem leaves.
