The 'Paryaya' system denotes transfer of power of exclusive rights of worshipping the presiding deity at the famous Lord Krishna temple here and management of Sri Krishna Mutt from one seer to another of the Astha (eight) Mutts, established by Dvaita philosopher Sri Madhwacharya 800 years ago, once in two years by turns.

The 85-year old Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji, a prominent face of the Ramjanmabhoomi movement, occupied the 'Paryaya Peetha,' also known as 'Sarvajna Peetha', in the biennial event, witnessed by tens of thousands of devotees from across the state and several political and other leaders.

Veteran BJP leader L K Advani, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Union ministers Uma Bharti, Venkaiah Naidu, Anant Kumar and Sadananda Gowda, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister O Panneerselvam, Karnataka ministers R V Deshpande, A Manju, H K Patil and Vinay Kumar Sorake, former union minister Veerappa Moily, former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and Oscar Fernandes, MP, were among those present.

The 'Paryaya' system was introduced in 1522 by Sri Vadirajateertha, who is considered among the highest saints in the Madhva hierarchy after Srimad Ananda Tîrtha and Sri Jayateertha.

Vishwesha Teertha, who is known for breaking some traditional social moulds like visiting Dalit colonies and for being pro-active in social sphere, had ascended the peetha in 1952, 1968, 1984 and 2000.

The Pejawar Swamiji took over his new charge at designated time, after having the Darshan of Lord Sri Krishna.

He also took the blessings of deities Sri Chandramouleshwara and Sri Anantheshwar. He then ascended the Sarvajnya Peetha, which was earlier occupied by Madhwacharya.

A grand Paryaya Darbar was later held at Shree Krishna Math, where the new Paryaya Swamiji was welcomed by Sri Kaniyoor Math Swamiji, as the town in the coastal Udupi district teemed with people.

Addressing the devotees, Advani said a new era of Paryaya had started among the eight Mutts of Udupi.

"I am happy that Pejawar Sri, for the fifth time, has become the Payarya Swamiji," he said. "It is a unique experience to participate in such a blessed event in the presence of Lord Krishna, and I am here only to express my joy for I have always got love and blessings abundantly ever since I paid my first visit here," he said. Pejawar Swamiji, in his address, stressed on doing everything for the Lord, of the Lord, and by the Lord, so that all confusions would vanish and everything would be done right.

And I (ALLAH) did not create the jinn and humans except they should worship me - Quran 51:56
He created us for the purpose of worshiping him Alone and without any partners.
Even if you are HINDU, Im MUSLIM he is merciful to all his creation. But he waits that some day my creation will recognize ME. Unless U look for him U will be in state of believing in the creation which will take U away from the TRUE GOD.
Recognise this and you do your own research how many priests in the news for wrong reason...

Dear Suresh,
QURAN answers your question :
And We (ALLAH) sent every nation a messenger, (Saying) \Worship Allah & avoid TAGHUT (Taghut means idols, pictures, man made gods, and so on) And among them were those whom ALLAH guided ( I Pray to God to include us among them). and among them were those whom ERRORS was (deservedly) decreed. So proceed through the EARTH and observe how was the END of the DENIERS."

Dear Suresh,
Y do God needs to take another gods incarnation? If God created U & ME and all that exists. Then He can control anything in what he has created. NO need for him to come down and become like his creation.
Honestly - You need to learn Islamic teaching on who is worthy of WORSHIP . QURAN explains to us beautifully...
If there were in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides ALLAH, there would have been confusion in both!! but glory to ALLAH, the lord of the throne, (High is He) above what they attribute to Him ( Quran 21:22)
Allah has not taken any SON, Nor has there ever been with Him any Deity (If there had been), then each deity would have taken what is created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is ALLAH above what they describe (Concerning Him) (Quran 23: 91-92).
Just PONDER - There is no God but ALLAH & Muhammad pbuh is the last & final messenger & slave of ALLAH who conveyed the oneness of God to the HUMANITY>.. U will come to know the reality of IDOLS and different Gods only If one openly & whole heartly want to know about the TRUE GOD.

Its way of telling woman folk to be careful when bathing in public & to take care of their clothes.After this incident they never bathed carelessly.
If someone steal our heart they are not thief but our beloved.
God is not human, he will take any form for his devotees, just like he came out of pillar for rescuing devotee Pralhad.
Lying to a liar for a good purpose is not wrong.
Krishna is 8th Avatar - incarnation of Lord vishnu
I KNOW THE TRUTH.
BUT YOU DID'NT KNOW TRUTH HENCE YOU have so many doubts.
This is not wrestling championship to accept any challenges.
To see god you have to shed your Ego and pride otherwise all your efforts are a waste.
Jai shri krishna.

Do U think Krishna is God
God will not peep at those women who are bathing in the sides of River
God will not steal
God is not like human
God is not a liar
Krishna is Not LORD

Do you want to know who is God...
God is the one who created all that exists..
He gives life & death
He is ONE & ONLY God who is worthy of Worship
He has no partner
He has no children
He controls everything
He is not born nor he is being born
There is none equal to HIM
More over HE is the moooooost merciful. Even if you say once \The one who put soul in me please guide me to know the TRUTH... He will surely show YOU who was KRISHNA.
TRY IT , its my challenge.. to YOU>"

Please dont make him God, He is just human being and he doesnt know the future. Only God knows future... none of his creation knows the futrue. So please bow down only to God & not to statues or 5 tym paraya peer or any idols which doesnt have any strength to help the intelligent creation of God. Recognise the TRUE GOD, and U will understand the reality of idols. NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI>

San Diego, Apr 15: Several people lost their sense of smell or taste weeks ago globally and are still waiting for it to come back and now, researchers have identified an association between sensory loss and novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection, indicating that loss of smell and taste may be considered as early symptoms of the deadly disease.

Interestingly, the study also found that persons who reported experiencing a sore throat more often tested negative for COVID-19.

The team from University of California-San Diego found high prevalence and unique presentation of certain sensory impairments in patients positive with COVID-19.

Of those who reported a loss of smell and taste, the loss was typically profound, not mild.

"Based on our study, if you have smell and taste loss, you are more than 10 times more likely to have COVID-19 infection than other causes of infection. The most common first sign of a COVID-19 infection remains fever, but fatigue and loss of smell and taste follow as other very common initial symptoms," explained study researcher Carol Yan from UC San Diego.

"We know COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus. This study supports the need to be aware of smell and taste loss as early signs of COVID-19," Yan added.

For the findings, published in the journal International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology, the research team surveyed 1,480 patients with flu-like symptoms and concerns regarding potential COVID-19 infection who underwent testing at UC San Diego Health from March 3 through March 29, 2020.

Within that total, 102 patients tested positive for the virus and 1,378 tested negatives. The study included responses from 59 COVID-19-positive patients and 203 COVID-19-negative patients.

Encouragingly, the rate of recovery of smell and taste was high and occurred usually within two to four weeks of infection.

"Our study not only showed that the high incidence of smell and taste is specific to COVID-19 infection but we fortunately also found that for the majority of people sensory recovery was generally rapid," said Yan.

"Among the COVID-19 patients with smell loss, more than 70 per cent had reported improvement of smell at the time of the survey and of those who hadn't reported improvement, many had only been diagnosed recently," she added.

Sensory return typically matched the timing of disease recovery.

In an effort to decrease the risk of virus transmission, UC San Diego Health now includes loss of smell and taste as a screening requirement for visitors and staff, as well as a marker for testing patients who may be positive for the virus.

"It is our hope that with these findings other institutions will follow suit and not only list smell and taste loss as a symptom of COVID-19, but use it as a screening measure for the virus across the world," Yan said.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.
