An Opportunity to Serve

[Guest guest]

Dear KrishnaBhakta-s

 

Greetings.

 

On behalf of HH Sri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji's Peetharohana, Vajra

Mahotsava committee, we wish to put forward the details of swamiji's

various projects.

All these projects are built only for the welfare of our people and

or the benefit of our Madhwa, Hindu Philosophy. Whatever the

donation/contribution you are going to give goes to the welfare of

our society through Sri Pejawar Swamiji. The collection work is

already in progress from all parts of the country, for the Swarna

Nidhi which has 80-G exemption from Income Tax Dept.

Almost all the cities in India (including the capital city Delhi by

Prime Minister Sri Atal Behari Vajapai ) have honoured HH Sri Pejawar

Swamiji. His Holiness is also performing the 'Paryaya Sanchara' and

inviting people for paryaya mahotsava, since he is going to ascend

Paryaya Peetha this year to worship lord Sri Krishna at Udupi.

 

You all might be knowing that our CMS and VMS list has got many

benefits and are going to get lot of benefits from HH swamiji thru.

PPVP. At this moment, we thought that, (It is our duty too) we can

honour swamiji on behalf of Internet Groups and give some donations

to his various projects.

 

If you are Interested in participating in this great occasion, please

go through the Appeal and FAQ which are given below. If you have any

clarifications, please send an email to Pejawar

 

It is decided to have this National Celebration for three days on

April 29, 30 and May 1st in Bangalore in which luninaries in the

social, spiritual, cultural, political and scientific fields, who are

devotees of the Swamiji, will participate.

 

We hope you all will participate in this great function.

 

In the service of Sri Hari Vayu.

SRI VISHWESHA TEERTHA SWAMIJI’S PEETHAROHANA DIAMOND JUBILEE

CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE.

 

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE

 

Sri Vishweshteertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt is a great personality,

rare to find in the present century-an inimitable and versatile

personality indeed. His holiness has mastered Indian philosophy. He

has been observing akhanda brahmacharya and performing all the

rituals expected of a yati. He has never deviated from the path of

righteousness. He tours throughout the length and breadth of this

vast land winning the harts of millions wherever he goes. He has a

vibrant heart which melts when he sees people in trouble. He is a

confluence of all these great qualities, simple in his approach,

smiling all the time. Any great-work whether religious or social,

requires his indispensable leadership and guidance. He has the

courage and fortitude to launch revolutionary corrective measure to

the prevailing social ills within the framework of

established traditional norms. He has never disappointed anyone who

approached him seeking help or knowledge. In this sense he is not a

sanyasi confined to one Mutt or a cross-section of the society. He is

not only a great well-wisher of the entire HINDU and MADHWA society,

but also of all the citizens of this great land and world. He is a

great humanitarian, par-excellence.

 

He renounced wordily life at the tender age of seven and became

sanyasi. He has devoted himself to the service of mankind. He

believes in the dictum, “SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS SERVICE TO GOD”. Clad

in simple saffron clothes, having only one meal a day, he never takes

rest except while he is travelling. The society has got its

opportunity to remember and honour this KARMAYOGI Sri Vishwesh

Teertha swamimiji who will be entering the sixtieth year of sanyasa.

 

It is sixty years, since HH Sri Vishwesh teertha took sanyasa and

ascended the peetha. It is obligatory on the part of society to

recognise and appreciate his services by honouring His Holiness on

this occasion.

 

It has been decided to organize a grand function to honour the

Swamiji. Under the grand patronage of Sri Vidyamanya Thirtha Swamiji,

the revered guru of Sri Vishveshathirtha Swamiji, a National Diamond

Jubilee Committee has been constituted. Sri M.N.Venkatachalayya, the

former Chief Justice of India and the current Chairman, National

Human Rights Commission is the chairman and Dr.D.Veerendra Heggade,

the Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmastala is the Executive

President of the Committee.

A number of distinguished people from all over the country have

agreed to the members of the committee.

It is decided to have this National Celebration for three days on

April 29, 30 and May 1st in Bangalore in which luninaries in the

social, spiritual, cultural, political and scientific fields, who are

devotees of the Swamiji, will participate. As an important part of

the commemeorative Golden Jubilee Celeberation of the 60th Year of

the Swamiji's Peetaharohana it is proposed to collect Rupees Five

Crores for the 'SWARNA NIDHI' to be presented to the Swamiji who has

been trying to bring a 'Golden Age' in the spiritual and cultural

renaissance in the country. This fund collected from individuals and

organization is proposed to be spent on the projects envisaged by the

Swamiji. Though the Swamiji is against personal cult, he has given

his wholehearted consent to this project.

The various projects visualised by His Holiness, require huge funds,

the 'Swarna Nidhi' is only a token contribution towards the same.

It is going to serve as the initial capital which the Swamiji can

utilise at his will. If donors desire to contribute substantial

funds, opportunities will be provided for them to do so.

 

Vidyapeetha:

The Swamiji has been running the Poornapragna Vidyapeetha for the

preservation of and propagation of the ancient Indian culture and

philosophy. It is a unique institution which has trained hundreds of

scholars and offered them to the country. The Vidyapeetha, at present

gives FREE EDUCATION to over three hundred students. The Swamiji has

already established such institutions in Pajaka Kshetra, Gangavathi

and Karjgi. With a view to propagating Indian philosophy in North

India, the birth place of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, the Swamiji has

already made plans to establish such Gurukula in Delhi and other

places. One acre of land has already been acquired in Vasantha Kunja

in Delhi, at a concessional rate of Rs. 90 lakhs. It is proposed to

establish a Samskrita Patashala, a publication division, a centre for

spiritual study and a seva centre.

 

Research Wing:

A Research Centre has been established in Poornapragna Vidyapeetha

with the help from the Government of India for helping post graduate

students to conduct research. It has a computer centre linked to the

Internet.This centre is in need of a well-equipped Library and

accommodation. The Swamiji has plans to construct a full-fledged

building equipped with all facilities for the same. His holiness

desires to make this centre as a gift to the nation on the occasion

of the Diamond Jubilee Celeberations

MEDICAL SERVICE : To handicaped children and poor people

JANATA KALYANA NIDHI : To help people affected by Earthquakes, Foods,

Droughts and other natural calamities.

The Diamond Jubilee Celebration Committee has decided to offer this

Swarna Nidhi to the Swamiji to help him to go ahead with his service

activities in the educational, social and spiritual fields. Donors

are requested to choose the project they would like to support and

come forward with substantial donations. They can give their

contributions in the form of gold or the price of gold in cash.

The devotees desire so, they can invite the Swamiji to their place

and honour him. The offerings made to the Swamiji will be added to

the Swarna Nidhi and it will be offered to him at the function in

Bangalore.

They can also send their contribution to the Central Committee.

Every atom of offering made by the devotees to this cause will be

utilised for the purpose for which it is given. Whatever is offered

to this noble cause becomes a sacred to Lord Alimighty. The benefit

does not go to the Swamiji but to the society. It is service, dear to

to God.
