Seer-in-waiting for Paryaya says age-old traditions will continue
The Hindu
Sri Vidyasagara Tirtha Swami of Krishnapura Mutt, however, says he is flexible
Sri Vidyasagara Tirtha Swami of Udupi Krishnapura Mutt, seer-in-waiting to ascend the Sarvajna Peetha at Udupi Sri Krishna Temple/Mutt during the Paryaya this month, on Friday said that he will continue the practices and rituals being followed at the mutt for public good. He said that he does not propose any major projects either.
Interacting with reporters after a felicitation programme at the residence of the former district Kannada Sahitya Parishat president Pradeep Kumar Kalkura here, Sri Vidyasagara Tirtha said that the Anna Daana and Janna Daana that are being followed since the time of Sri Madhwacharya and Sri Vadiraja Tirtha will continue to be followed during his Paryaya, beginning January 18, too.
These practices are very close to the Lord, he added.
