If proved, I’ll renounce Peetha: Pejawar seer
’Shiroor seer’s allegations in audio records are false’
Vartha Bharati | 23-07-2018 | 22:55:00 IST
Udupi, July 23: Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt said that the allegations made in the audio records by Shiroor seer about himself were false and he would give up the Peetha if the allegations were proved.
In a statement, the Pejawar seer said that “in the video, the Shiroor seer said that I had relationship with a woman during my young age. He has said that I have a daughter called Padma who is in Tamil Nadu which is not true. In the letter sent by him in last December, he has mentioned that I have a son which shows it is just an imagination”, he said.
Country will not believe it
Nobody in the country would not believe his allegation. He was ready to face the interrogation and test. This was just a false allegation. It was not possible to prove it. If it was proved, he would give up the Peetha immediately, he said.
I don’t have any role
“I did not have any role in the renunciation of Peetha by Raghu Vallabha Tirtha of Palimaru Mutt, Manojna Thirtha of Shiroor Mutt and Vidyabhushana Swamiji of Subramanya Mutt earlier. I had done all efforts to retain in the Peetha. But they had given up their positions voluntarily. It was a mistake to make me responsible for their decisions. The allegation that I had given Rs 5 lakh to Raghuvallaba was also false. He was not given a single paisa. I had not sent Vishwa Vijaya. He himself had gone. I told him about the problems if he had gone. Even then he had gone. I had told him that I would make arrangements once he came back. But he had given up the Peetha without informing me”, he said.
“I did not have any role in accepting the Ashramas by Vyasaraja Swami, Suvidyendra Swamiji and their renunciation. But Shiroor seer has alleged that I was responsible for all such acts which is not true. I did not expect any money from Shiroor seer and even did not ask him. I am ready to face any enquiry”, the swamiji said.
Statement is inevitable
Some people said that it was not fair to give statement on misuse of power of Shiroor seer after his death. They have also asked some questions on not returning the Presiding Deity and having the last darshan of Shiroor seer. But he has forcefully said that he had violated the Sannyasa dharma, he added.
