Udupi, Jan 04: Court, secular government have no right to make decisions about the matters of Hindu religion and traditional issues. Hindu religious leaders and Hindu people should decide on this, stated Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt.

Speaking to presspersons at the Pejawar Mutt in Udupi district, Swamiji said, "My statement regarding women entering the Sabarimala temple has been misinterpreted. "Therefore, I am making my opinion clear," he said.

"I have a neutral stand on Sabarimala issue. In the past, I have opposed many traditions. For instance, I have opposed the Yede Snana, supported Dalits' temple entrance. I have given my consent to stop Yede Snana at the Krishna Mutt. The scriptures have not denied the women's entry into the Sabarimala temple. But, tradition opposes it," he added.

In such matters of Hindu religion, court and secular government should not take decisions. Instead, Hindu religious leaders and members of the Hindu Community should come to a conclusion, and this is my opinion, he clarified.
