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>

Kanpur, Jan 1: In a seemingly bizarre development, the IIT in Kanpur has set up a panel to decide whether the poem "Hum dekhenge lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge", penned by Faiz Ahmad Faiz, is anti-Hindu.

The panel has been set up in response to complaints filed by a faculty member who claimed that the students, during a protest, sang this poem which was anti-Hindu.

The poem reads thus -- "Lazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge. Jab arz-e-Khuda ke kaabe se. Sab bhut uthwaye jayenge, Hum ahl-e-safa mardood-e-harm. Masnad pe bithaye jayenge. Sab taaj uchale jaenge. Sab takht giraye jayenge. Bas naam rahega Allah ka. Hum dekhenge."

It was the last line that has turned into a bone of contention. Translated into English, it means, 'When thrones will vanish, only Allah's name will remain' -- implying the misleading translation by the professor.

The poem had been written by Faiz in reference to military dictator Zia-ul-Haq in 1979 and was against the military rule in Pakistan. Faiz had left leanings and was an atheist. He was known for his revolutionary writings that kept him in jail for several years.

It may be recalled that the IIT-Kanpur students had taken out a peaceful march on the campus on December 17 in support of the students of Jamia Millia Islamia and during the march, the students sang the Faiz poem.

According to IIT Deputy director Manindra Agarwal: "In the video, the students are seen reciting the Faiz poem which can also be perceived as being anti-Hindu.

The IIT faculty member, in his complaint, has alleged that the students made anti-India and communal statements during their demonstration in solidarity with the Jamia students.

The complaint was based on two lines of the poem, which have obviously been misinterpreted -- "When all idols will be removed, only Allah's name will remain."

The faculty member has stated that "organisers and masterminds must be identified and expelled immediately."

Fifteen other students have also signed the complaint filed by the professor against the protesting students.

Meanwhile, IIT students have said that the faculty member who lodged the complaint has been banned on a social networking site for posting communal content.

In an article published on the IIT-Kanpur student media portal, the students clarified what exactly happened on the day of protest and how their chant was given a 'communal and misleading' turn. They stated that they had recited a few lines of the Faiz poem in reference to the police crackdown on the Jamia students.

Mysuru, Jan 19: Karnataka Rural Development and Panchyat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday claimed that Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India have been indulging in anti-national activities.

Talking to media persons here, he said the government is mulling to ban and take action against PFI and its political arm SDPI.

It was recommended even during the previous government, but it was not taken seriously, he added.

He said that the BJP will ensure that all the MLAs who were instrumental in the party coming to power (the then-disqualified MLAs who joined BJP from Congress and JDS recently and won the bypoll subsequently) will not be let down and be given suitable posts in the government.
