Udupi, Dec 29: Vishwesha Tirtha Swami, the chief pontiff of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt, who is vacating the Paryaya Peeth soon, has made it clear that he would not ascend the Paryaya Peetha for the sixth time as he would be 100 years old then.

Paryaya Peetha is the rotating presidency of the eight mutts of Udupi’s Krishna temple. During two year Paryaya term, the chief pontiff of the one of the eight mutts will take the responsibility of the puja and administration of the temple.

The 86-year-old Vishwesha Tirtha is the only seer among the Ashta Mutt swamijis to have ascended the Paryaya Peetha of the 800-year-old Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple five times ever since the biennial Paryaya system began here in 1522. He had taken over the responsibility for the fifth time on 18 January 2016, from Kaniyoor Mutt's Vidhyavallabhatirtha Swamiji.

Replying to the queries of media persons on Thursday, here the seer said that he already was suffering from some health problems and hence he would not think of taking over the responsibility once again after 16 years. “If I were alive I would guide Vishwaprasanna Tirtha, who will ascend the Paryaya Peetha,” he said.

After stepping down from the Paryaya Peetha, the he would take up the work of construction of an educational institution and a hospital on the outskirts of Hubballi, construction of a student hostel in Shivamogga and Mysuru, and the construction of a Krishna Temple in Pune, the seer said.

He said that the achievements of his fifth Paryaya included the renovation of the inner yard (“Ola Pauli”) of the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple, construction of the Madhwangana Hall above the Rajangana Hall, the construction of a three-storey building housing 20 dormitories, a guesthouse and extension of the existing Yatri Nivas. All these works together had cost around Rs. 11 crore.

He had also constructed a building for a residential educational institution at Pajaka, the birthplace of the exponent of Dvaita philosophy, Sri Madhwacharya, at a cost of Rs. 5 crore. To a query, he said that the project of planting of one crore saplings could not be fully implemented.

A series of programmes will mark the valedictory of the historic fifth Paryaya of the seer from January 1 to 14, 2018. As part of the valedictory of his fifth Paryaya, he will perform the 36th Sudha Mangalotsava on January 5 along with Vishwaprasanna Tirtha, junior seer of his mutt. Satyatma Tirtha Swami of Uttardi Mutt will attend the function.

The Chandrika Mangalotsava will be held on January 6. Vidyashreesha Tirtha Swami of Vyasaraja Mutt will attend it. A large number of scholars of Dvaita philosophy from across the State were expected to participate in these two functions.

A Philosophy Conference will be held here on January 8 and 9. Scholars of Advaita, Vishishtadvaita and Dvaita philosophies from across the country will participate in the conference. The valedictory function of the religious discourses will be held on January 14, he said.

Will protest if Indian Muslims are troubled by NRC, says Ramdev

News Network

January 30,2020

Hubballi, Jan 30: Seeking to disabuse people of the notion that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), recently passed by the BJP-led central government threatened the legitimacy of Muslims in the country, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday said that he would among the first to take to the streets should the community face any such trouble. “If the National Register of Citizens (NRC) threatens injustice to Indian Muslims, it I not just I, but a billion Indians will protest against its implementation,” he added.

Recalling his longstanding association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ramdev said, “I have known Modi for more than 15 years, and I can assure you that he cannot be called anti-Muslim. There is nothing in the CAA that threatens the rights of Muslims, some of whom are being misled by a few.”

The yoga guru said that, while 99% of the Muslims in India were patriotic, the remaining ones were seeking to divide the country, which he said was resulting in Islam falling into disgrace. “I appeal to all Muslims to keep away from such anti-national forces seeking to bring a bad name to Islam,” said Ramdev, calling on the people to stay united in the face of the severe economic crisis that the country was presently in the grips of.

He added that he was as committed to his goal of getting black money back to India. However, when quizzed by journalists as to how long he was willing to wait for PM Modi to realise this objective, Ramdev said, “Chodi, mere aur Modi ke beech jagada mat lao (Please do not incite a fight between Modi and me).”

The yoga guru also endorsed the decision of the Centre to recognise singer Adnan Sami with a Padma award.

Kumaraswamy blames officials for spread of COVID-19 in Mandya

News Network

May 1,2020

Bengaluru, May 1: As Mumbai link surfacing in some COVID-19 cases in Mandya district in Karnataka, JDS leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Friday blamed the district administration for the situation, accusing it of not quarantining 7,000 labourers who 'returned' from the Maharashtra capital.

"The information we have is that there are about 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai of which 7,000 people reached the district. None of them was quarantined properly," Kumaraswamy told reporters in Bengaluru.

He claimed the district, a stronghold of JDS, was staring at a major spurt in cases due to the careless attitude of the district administration. "Government should initiate action against those who are responsible for the laxity," he said.

However, he did not specify when the 7,000 workers returned to Mandya. When asked about Kumaraswamy's claim, officials said they have to verify it. Of the eight cases reported from Mandya on Friday, three had a travel history to Mumbai, a major COVID-19 hotspot in the country, officials said.

A Health Department official said four of the fresh cases were contacts of a patient who tested positive on April 8 and admitted to a hospital. After weeks of coming in contact with him, the four were confirmed for COVID-19, an official said. The Three people with travel history to Mumbai had, in fact, brought the body of a man who died of a heart attack there on April 24, the official added.
