Sri Narahari teertha's moola brundavan - attacked

[Guest guest]

Dear Haribhaktas,

 

A sad news to hear :

 

Reliable sources confirm that, Moola brundavana of Sri Narahari Teertharu

(the direct desciple of Sri Acharya Madhva) at Hampi on the bank of river

Tunga is attacked and destroyed by unknown antireligious activists on

saturday night/sunday. Some other sources say that recently another old

Ganesh temple nearby was attacked (while activists were in search of

gold/wealth at/near old monuments)..

 

Details are yet to be found.

 

Various Swamijis (including H.H. Sri Pejawar swamiji) are in the process of

releasing a press statement. (Expected to appear in tomorrows news papers)

 

Regards,

Bindumadhav Kerur

Hello All,

 

I totally agree with what Mr.Vadiraj has said. Now that these 2 Mutts have

fought beyond expectations, we, the ordinary people are the ones who've lost

the sacred Moola Brindavana of Sri Narahari Theertha.

 

Whoever may get that repaired, but what's the use, when that sacred place

has been polluted by some anti-social elements, we'll definitely not get the

" original " place for ever and ever.

 

 

Regards,

Sameer.

Namaskara,

It's really sad to hear such a news.We,Madhwas could not protect

the vrindavan of such a great saint,

Narahari Tirtharu.

Whatever it is,but the Uttaradi and RaghavendraSwamy mutt pontiffs are

responsible for this incident.Because both the mutts fought for owning this

place for many years in the court,spending a lot of money.Instead of that

they could have come to terms on this issue long before and spend the same

money for constructing a compound for the vrindavan of Narahari Tirtharu.

My statements may hurt many, but this is the fact.

Because of the ongoing quarrel between these two mutts

today we were unable to protect the vrindavan of such a great saint.It is

disgusting to hear that, Sri Narahari Trithara aradhana,is performed 1.5

days by uttaradi mutt and the rest by rayara mutt.

The pontiffs of both mutts should come to terms ,we are the

sufferers.

 

 

Hari Sarvottama,Vayu Jeevothama,

Vadiraj

worship. Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not otherwise.

That devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are due to His

If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in

this way, it pleases Vishnu.

Dear Friends,

 

We all in the VMS community are extremely saddened over the mindless

destruction of the holy vrindavana of Sri Narahari Thirtha. All of us are

emotionally distressed over this sad news.

 

While this incident is very much regrettable, VMS is definitely not a forum

or a place for pointing fingers or passing accusations or levelling charges

on any of our swamijis or mathas. All of us have the responsibilities to

adhere to the accepted norms of decorum in conducting our discussions in

this world-wide, open forum. Even very negative thoughts can be expressed

in suitable positive ways so that we maintain our diginity in the public

place.

 

I do not think lack of any financial resources in India had led to leaving

the moola vrindavana open for vandalism and our collecting money and sending

over to India is not simply going to solve this problem. Deep,

historically rooted issues are at play here and we can only pray to our Lord

to show the way.

 

Namaskaragalu

 

Bindu

Dear All

 

We hear this news and more bad to know . As Mr Vadiraj has rightly said this

is a result of irresponsibility of two pontniffs (regret & sorry.God forgive

me! ) . When will they come out of such aham though they are swamijis???

 

Let us forget them and we should join together at VMS to contribute as much

as possible to rebuild the vrindhavana/premises . If any similar thoughts

are with you all, lets bring it down to a contribution box . Since iam in

Saudi Arabia , I dont have contacts who is taking this responsibility to

handover any such contributions and to whom. If any of you know kindly let

me know also .
