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>

We, the undersigned express our solidarity with Dr Zafarul Islam Khan, renowned scholar, journalist and presently Chairman of the Delhi Minorities Commission.

We strongly condemn the continued media trial and targeting of Dr Zafarul Islam Khan for his Facebook post thanking Kuwait for expressing solidarity with Indian Muslims. In his Facebook post, he mentioned the appalling deterioration of human rights of Indian Muslims who have been targeted by Hindutva bigots. A few politicians with ulterior motives and news channel anchors known for spreading bigotry and Islamophobia have mischievously sought to misinterpret his statement and ridiculously label him as anti-Hindu and anti-India.

He has only reiterated what many citizens of India, public figures, international institutions, various European governments, the United States of America and United Nations human rights mechanisms have repeatedly underlined their concern at the increasing human rights abuse and violations of religious minorities in India.

Dr Zafarul Islam Khan is a man of integrity. He is a scholar who is known to stand up for constitutional freedoms and values.

His work as the Chairman of Delhi Minorities Commission has been warmly applauded by human rights activists and NGOs across different faiths. His timely interventions on problems of minorities in Delhi have made him a respectable figure among not only Muslims but Sikh, Christians, Jains and Parsis. He is a humanist in the truest sense of the word.

The hateful propaganda against Dr Khan is one more illustration as how certain Indians fail to differentiate between Hinduism, a religion and Hindutva which is a supremacist political ideology.

Dr Zafarul Islam Khan is a leading Indian intellectual whose niche area is Islamic studies and Arab world. He enjoys great respect in the Arab and Muslim world for his understanding and knowledge. He is an alumni of the esteemed Jamia Al-Azhar and Manchester University.

Dr Khan is known for taking bold public positions. He was the first Muslim scholar in the world who denounced ISIL, which later became IS or ISIS. He issued a statement opposing the barbaric crimes of ISIL (IS or ISIS) and Boko Haram against minorities. He takes strong stands against extremism of all sorts. That makes him a prominent critic of RSS.

Dr Khan is a scholar ambassador and earned international prestige for the India. Any attack and targeting of him, is actually an insult to Indian constitution and ethos.

We demand the appropriate authorities of the Government of India take strong legal action against those who are distorting Dr Khan’s Facebook post, and spreading vicious false propaganda against him.
