Udupi, Aug 21: Vishwesha Tirtha Swami, the pontiff of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit after a successful surgical procedure for hernia at Kasturba Hospital in Manipal on Sunday.

Meanwhile, a group of Muslims offered prayers at the entrance of Kasturba Hospital seeking good health for the seer.

Raghuram Acharya, Dewan of Pejawar Mutt, said that the 87-year-old Vishwesha Tirtha completed the Maha Puja at the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple in the morning. Afterwards, he left for the Kasturba Hospital.

He was taken to the Operation Theatre at the hospital at11.30 a.m. After the operation, he was shifted to the ICU at around 1 p.m.

“The doctors who operated upon the seer told us that the latter had cooperated well. The seer would be shifted to a special room in the hospital on Monday morning. The doctors said that they would decide on when to discharge the seer from the hospital after 11 a.m. on Monday,” he said.

“The seer spoke to us. He is in good spirits. He expressed happiness over the services rendered by the doctors at the hospital,” he added.

Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swami, junior seer of Pejawar Mutt, met and spoke to Vishwesha Tirtha at the hospital in the evening. In the absence of the senior seer, Vishwaprasanna Tirtha is performing the “pujas” at the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple.

Tradition bars the Paryaya seer from leaving the Car Street during his two-year tenure, when he occupies the Paryaya Peetha, also called the Sarvajna Peetha, at the 800-year-old Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple. Even when the Paryaya seer suffers from minor health ailments, doctors meet him and treat him. However, in the present case, the matter involved a surgical procedure.

“Usually, the Paryaya seer does not leave the Car Street. But this is a special case. Hence, the opinion of the other seers of the Ashta Mutts (or eight mutts) available was taken and they agreed that the Pejawar seer should go to the hospital for the surgical treatment,” Mr. Acharya further said.

In the morning, a Dhanvantri Homa was performed and a group of disciples under the guidance of Vishwaprasanna Tirtha chanted mantras at the Rajangana Hall here praying for the good health of Vishwesha Tirtha.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 31: The Kerala government

on Tuesday rejected concerns of community spread of novel coronavirus in the state in the wake of the second death of a patient here who had no travel history or reported contact with any infected person.

Setting aside the concern, Health Minister K K Shylaja said the deceased man, a native of nearby Pothancode, was already suffering from several other health issues including high blood pressure.

The 68-yearold man died at the government medical college here, taking the total number of COVID-19 deaths in Kerala to two, the government said.

"We have got information that the deceased man had come in contact with some persons arrived from the Gulf. As he was very sick and was not in a position to speak, we could not collect details from him directly," she told reporters here.

"So we had to collect such details from his relatives now. As per preliminary assessment, it was a case of contact spread. So, as of now, there is no need to get panic about the community spread," she said

The possibility of death was high among patients, aged above 60 years and suffering from other diseases like heart ailments or diabetics, she said.

"That's why we are giving strict directions to the elderly people to remain in homes and avoid contact with infected persons, " the minister said.

However, the minister directed those came in contact with the deceased person to remain in self-quarantine and inform the authorities if they developed any infection symptoms.

In both the coronavirus deaths in the state, the deceased persons were aged and were suffering from other diseases, she added.
