Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Jul 16: 'Tulabhara' service was offered to Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math here at the residence of a devotee in Mallika Extension of the town on Tuesday July 15. Before that, the Swamiji addressed a press conference, dealing with some controversies that have taken centrestage of late.

"In the history of Sri Krishna Math, I am in line to be the first ever to ascend the Paryaya seat for the fifth unprecedented time during the next Paryaya term. I plan to implement various people-friendly initiatives during this period," he said. The Swamiji said that after the completion of the Chaturmasya period between July 22 and September 8 at Mumbai, he would be undertaking country-wide tour for making preparations for various projects he intends to take up during his Paryaya term.

Some of the projects he plans to implement are providing proper parking facility in the Math complex, construction of auditorium, medical facilities, toilets etc by spending five to six crore rupees, laying stress on spiritual researches, translation of spiritual works into Hindi and English, providing free power to hundreds of houses in naxal-infested areas, and setting up residential college named after Anantateertha in the compound of the original seat of the Math at Pejawar.

Reacting to the controversy over to Shirdi Sahibaba, the Swamiji said he has high respect and reverence of Saibaba, duly adding that he holds this saint as an equal to greats like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Nityananda Swamiji.

About the meeting of terrorist Hafiz Saeed by journalist, Ved Pratap Vaidik, he felt that journalists are free to meet anyone. "Journalists meet even naxals. Efforts towards achieving change of hearts is not at all wrong. This was not a government-sponsored meeting," he commented.

About the demand for ceding Kashmir, he said Kashmir cannot be allowed to be taken away from India. He felt that the issues relating to Kashmir has to be resolved by taking into confidence the locals, government, etc, and with a humanitarian touch.

He said he had participated in a meeting convened by Ganga Development authority, and given suggestions for cleansing of River Ganga. He said that he had no objection to discharge of ashes of the deceased into the river but was against discarding of corpses into the river without properly incinerating them and also emptying effluents of various industries and factories into this river.

Junior Swamiji of the Math, Sri Vishwaprasannateertha, Karnataka Bank Ltd managing director, K jayaram Bhat, Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, M B Puranik, Kumble Sundar Rao, and others were present.

    All the journalists think that this Swamiji is Purely a Political Swami. That is why where ever he goes the media people ask him questions only about Politics. We cannot forget how he canvassed in Bellary dist for Sri Ramulu in last LS election and also felicitated power-broker Neera Radia.

    Swamis / Priests / Moulvi's / Nuns etc should not involve themselves in Politics. They should restrain themselves only to their compounds and place of worship.

    WITH DUE RESPECT FOR HIS AGE & POSITION HE HELD,

    WITH WHAT AUTHORITY HE IS COMMENTING ABOUT VED PRATHAP VEIDIK?

    WHO IS THIS SWAMIJI TO UNDERSTAND INDO-PAK RELATIONS?

    I APPRECIATE IS PLANS OF SOCIAL SERVICE, BUT DON'T RESPECT HIS COMMENTS ON POLITICAL ISSUES.

    FOR THE LAST THREE DECADES I AM SEEING, UNNECESSARILY HE IS INVOLVING/COMMENTING BEYOND HIS DISCIPLINE.

    ALL SWAMIJIS/MONKS/ETC OF ALL COMMUNITIES SHOULD NOT INVOLVE IN POLITICS.

    IF THEY ARE ALSO ITO POLITICS, i think do we need that posts for the society ?

    let the government take decisions about indo-pak affairs. sitting at mutt one can not solve Kashmir issue.

    with due respects for the age of swamiji & the mutt & his devotees,

    this discussion was not required from him.

    I appreciate your comments. I agree that Swamiji should not involve in political matters. In Kannada it is called as "adika prasanga". Sometimes it is also our readers responsibility to ignore such comments because of his age factor. I believe swamiji cannot influence political matters. Thanks.

    Swamijis should always concentrate on religious duties, a godly duty towards this society , area Mixing politics and religion in vibrant India it is bit suicidal to this society.Any responsible Indian who is meeting this deadly terrorists and the enemies of this country who killed innocent people for their deviated ideology is not forgivable from any corner either!.

    1.This is where everything goes wrong.
    2. What about the families of those who were ruthlessly killed for no reason on 26-11.
    3. What about the sacrifices of our brave hearts?
    4. Who is 'Vaidik' to talk as he
    has done and who does he represent?
    %. Is he a Journalist really and which publication does he represent?
    6. Time 'religion' and 'seers' keep out of such matters.
    I bow with reverence before the Swamiji and pray to God that all his good intentions to provide basic amenities to the poor and needy come true.

    Unfortunately you became Ullu here.
    Vaidik was a part of delegation to Pakistan lead by Mani Shankar Aiyar and Salman Khurshid during UPA time.

    Question is why UPA chose Vaidik?
    Because he is from RSS?
    or he is from Congress?
