[world-vedic] ACTS OF A TRUE MAHATMA

[Guest guest]

Alert reader Ramesh Agasthya informs us that the unqualified success of

Sanskrit learning in Mattur village of Karnataka was inspired by the

renowned Sri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt (One of the well

known eight Mutts of Madhva Moola Samasthana of Udupi), who exhorted

the villagers to revive their ancient traditions during his visit in

the early eighties. The Pejavar Mutt Swamiji has taken pains to

establish Vedic learning as it was in ancient times - the Poorna Prajna

Vidyapeetha in Banglore is a shining example.

 

At the same time, he has looked into the needs of the people today and

has established many charitable hospitals, old age homes, and

orphanages, not to mention schools etc. All this without a taint of

corruption and undue publicity. It is high time that the role of such

great Hindu leaders was highlighted by our media, which usually takes

great pleasure in portraying most Hindu saints as depraved characters.

It's extremely important that Indians be aware of the constructive and

helpful efforts by such Hindu leaders to preserve and enrich our

country's cultural traditions.

 

My heartfelt appreciation and best wishes go out to Sri Vishwesha

Teertha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt for his great contributions, and

gratitude to Mr. Ramesh Agasthya for pointing out the facts of which I

was not aware.
