our mutts and cleanliness

[Guest guest]

Dear Madhwas World Over,

We all visit the holy places like Mantralaya,Tirupathi,Malkhed,Mulbalgal,Thirukoilyur,Sode,etc some time or the other atleast once in our lifetime.

 

Why is this appalling apathy to the unhygeinic and unclean maintainance of our holy premises? its so sad that we who profess madi( cleanliness) are polluting the rivers and the holy premises in the name of the same madi.

 

Take the example of nadi snana,true nadi snana is shreshtra ,its punya to bath in the waters of Thunga badra, Kagini(Malkhed)Pinakini( Near thirukoilyur),but how to reach the waters ,you have to jump ,avoid the human ,animal excreta to reach the river,then is the river clean ?No! People are washing clothes ,dumping plastic etc into the holy river.Cant the Mutt establishments to maintain clean toilets and bathrooms ,near to the rivers ,even changing rooms are needed for ladies,( why not try Sulabh toilets,its is okay to pay for a clean toilet is in it?)

 

Our Madhwa community has spread its wings world over,with so many scientists,software engineers,educationists, billionaires, business men,,why are we not taking care of our mutts and their premises? Its truely a sad state of affairs.

 

The great men who have donated lakhs and crores of their hard earned money to the Mutts are and will be so disappointed at the disrespect the Mutt establishments and the sevarthis are showing towards charity.

 

When we at home ,clean our toilet bowls, maintain the homes clean,show the disrespect towards the Mutts and their buildings,after all they are Our Mutts, arent they.?

 

Its also the responsiblity to maintain their premises neat and clean .The Mutts should allot atleast 10 to 15 percent of their incomes towards the maitainance and housekeeping of the premises.

 

Please its my earnest appeal that all MuttAdhipathis and mutt committees , Sevarthis ,please come forward and help in keeping our Mutts clean.We teach our children at home ,Cleaniless is Godliness,please follow the same and maintain our Mutts neat and clean.
