Udupi: After Made Snana, Yede Snana also stopped at Shri Krishna Mutt
Udupi, Dec 13: As part of their religious vows, a couple of devotees arrived in the Lord Subramanya temple of the Sri Krishna Mutt on the auspicious Subramanya Shasti on Thursday to offer their ‘Yede Snana’ vows. But they have to satisfy only for ‘Urulu Seve’ (rolling circumambulation) as the Mutt authorities have denied permission to offer ‘Yede Snana’ vows following a strong decision taken by Paryaya Palimaru Swamiji.
As per the decision of Paryaya Palimaru Swamiji, the ‘Yede Snana’, which has been practicing for the last two years, was not allowed on Thursday. With this, for the first time, both Made Snana and Yede Snana were stopped.
Few years back, devotees used to offer Made Snana at Subramanya temple as part of their religious vows. But after it had become a dispute in Subramanya, Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt had stopped Made Snana during his two years Paryaya and allowed Yede Snana. But Palimaru Swamiji who is the Paryaya seer, decided against giving permission to Yede Snana to avoid controversies.
“We have taken a decision to avoid unnecessary controversy. Some people do not like Made Stana. So, the devotees are being offered Prasadam at the dining hall of the Mutt”, Vidyadeesha Theertha Swamiji of Palimaru mutt said.
Pejawar seer welcomes
Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt welcomed the decision of Paryaya swamiji in cancelling the Yede Snana on the lines of Made Snana. If any rituals got opposition on the basis of cases, it would lead to conflicts. Made Snana and Ede Snana were not inevitable in temples and it would not have any impact on Hindu religion. It was enough if all the celebrations and poojas were held as per the rituals, the swamiji told reporters.
If the controversial or disputable rituals were stopped, there would not be any impact on the Hindu religion. In recent years, the number of devotees taking part in Yede Snana was also reduced drastically. They would not require the rituals or celebrations which attract controversies, the swamiji said.
Muchlugodu
But the Ede Snana ritual which has been practicing for the last four years in Muchlugodu Subramanya Temple coming under the Pejawar Mutt, continued this time also. This time, around five devotees offered their vows of Ede Snana.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
