Mangalore, September 27: Veerabhadra Chennamalla Swamiji, the Chief Pontiff of the Nidumamidi Mutt challenged his counterpart in Pejawar Mutt to allow lower caste seers and Dalits to offer Krishna Pooja at the sanctum sanctorum of the Sri Krishna Mutt if the latter has real social concern.

Participating at an interaction programme on 'Religion and Politics' organised 'Journalists Study Centre' here on Tuesday, the progressive seer termed Vishwesha Tirtha Swamiji's recent Dalit oriented programmes as “ineffective” and “illogical”.

The Nidumamidi seer also questioned the powerful seer of Udupi whether he has initiated any programmes for the socio-economic development of Dalits.

“Does he (Vishwesha Tirtha) think that the problems of Dalits will be solved just by paying a visit to Dalit colony and having food in a Dalit's house?” Chennamalla Swamiji ridiculed.

He also termed the Pejawar seer's 'Saha-bhojana' programme in Mysore as an act of hypocrisy, and asked why he failed to stop 'Pankti-bhojana' in Udupi.

“Is Pejawar seer ready to impart 'Paurohithya' education to a Dalit child in the residential school run by his Mutt in Udupi for Brahmin children? Is he ready to officially accept that Brahmins and Dalits are equal by birth? Is he ready to show green signal for inter-caste marriages within Hinduism? If not, then what is the intention of his Dalit development programmes?” the Nidumamidi seer questioned.

Indian 'Swiss Banks'!

Chennamalla Swamiji said that a number of religions centres including Mutts, Temples, Churches, Mosques and Basadis have been playing the role of Swiss Bank in this country.

It is an ugly truth that religious institutions in this country have become the centres of black money, he said and added that these are the centres which foster illicit relationship between religion and politics.
