UDUPI, Sept 19

 

 

The heinous act of destroying the Hampi Narahari Teertha Brundavana by

some miscreants has

affected us a lot, said Udupi Paryaya Pejawar Pontiff Sri Vishweshateertha

Swamiji in a press

release.

Sri Narahari Teertha was Sri Madhvacharya's disciple. He has the credit of

spreading the

Acharya's philosophy starting from Andhra Pradesh to all the regions. The

destruction of his sacred

brundavana has shocked the entire Madhava community, the pontiff said.

He also urged the government to take stringent action to nab the

miscreants. All the devotees should

co-operate for the reconstruction of the Brundavana at the same place and

tight security should be

provided, said the Swamiji hoping for commencement of the work at the

earliest.

CONDEMNED: Puttige Pontiff Sri Sugunendra Teertha Sri has also condemned

the act in a press

release stating that it was an horrendous act which has affected the

entire society. The heinous act of

breaking the hand of the Sasive Kaalu Ganapati at Hampi and other such

acts have created a feeling

of insecurity, the Samiji added. He also urged the State Government to

take immediate action in this

regard.
