Shiroor seer was not murdered, was a natural death: Pejawar seer
Hubballi, July 19: Condoling the death of Shiroor seer Lakshmivara Theertha Swami, Pejawar mutt seer Vishwesha Theertha swamiji said that there is no information of poisoning the seer.
Speaking to the media here, senior seer said that he was told that seer died of kidney failure. Who will poison him? There is no need to poison Shiroor seer. Seers will never kill others, he opined.
Nobody will think of grabbing the his seer post by killing him. He was suffering from health related ailments since one year, seer said.
"I will return to Udupi today night and I will decide about taking part in his last rites there. I have not received any phone call from Shiroor mutt. Sodhi mutt will appoint the successor. If they seek any advice I will give. Seer's brother has informed me that he died of food poisoning. There is no connection between handing over Patta Devaru and his death. There was communication between us and Shiroor mutt. We had some differences regarding his statements. But personally I loved and trusted him, Pejawar seer said.
I have learnt that his death has raised many doubts. Many suspect that he might have poisoned. An inquiry will be done if necessary, seer added.

Indian Defence forces committed to adapting to changing environment: CDS General Chauhan
Hyderabad (PTI): Asserting that war and warfare is at the cusp of a major revolution, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Saturday said the Indian Defence forces are committed to adapting to changing environment and imbibing reforms to remain ready and relevant.
Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) of 216 Course held at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here, General Chauhan said India's strength rests on robust institutions, democratic stability, and unwavering professionalism of our Armed Forces.
He said the intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindoor continues.
"You (new officers) also join the Air Force at a moment when a new normal has firmly taken shape. An era defined by a high degree of operational preparedness, 24-7, 365 days. The intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindhur continues," he said.
He further said the newly trained officers are entering the Indian Air Force during a phase of deep transformation of the Indian Armed Forces.
Integrated structures, joint operations, and national pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence are shaping the future of India's military strength, he said.
"Your journey ahead will be accordingly guided by Jai, the first word of Jai Hind, that's victory. 'J' stands for jointness, fighting as one nation, one force. 'A' stands for Atmanirbhar Bharat, trusted platforms and systems made not just for India but for the world. And finally, 'I' for innovation, daring to think ahead and to be ahead of the curve," he explained.
General Chauhan further said battles in the older domains will always remain contested, often brutal. But in the new domains, they will be smart, swift, and shaped by intellect, innovation, and initiative. The force that masters new frontiers is more likely to prevail in future conflicts.
