    ..Mr.Jaimini..Prabhakar bhat, Nasser Madani type peoples are there in every community...these are in numbers..you can not ignore peace loving majority of people either Hindus, Mulsim or christians...My advise to Muslim brothers to show these kind of goodwill gestures during Hindu, christians temple festivals..this is will create an atmosphere of mutual understanding between faiths..

    Fostering understanding between the followers of different faith's is the need of the hour. We all belong to mankind and mutual communication among the leaders of followers of the faith will facilitate in promoting trust, confidence and understanding leading to peace/harmony in the society. Gesture by Swamiji deserves all appreciation.

    Really a GREAT GOODWILL GESTURE..But it will raise eyebrows of many including other Swamijis and hardcore hindutwavadis.I am expecting one more speech from Dr.Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on this Goodwill Gesture. Pejawar Swamiji should have done this before to bring harmony among religions.Anyway full credit goes to Shiroor Math Swamiji who is known as BREAKER ( man of BREAKING THE RULES ).I had a chance to take his blessing last year when I visited Udupi Krishna Temple.I felt Shiroor Math Swamiji is different from other Swamijis.Now he proved it again.

    Hats off to this secular swamiji. He is role model for others, including muslim priests and mullahs. He is following late Admar mutt seer...This is one of the way to bolster and promote peace, understanding and brotherhood...Muslims too should acknowledge and reciprocate the same in equal or more measures.
