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.

Indian opposition condemns Khamenei killing; Modi government yet to comment
New Delhi: The Indian National Congress has condemned the joint US-Israel strikes that reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
In a statement, the Congress said it “unequivocally condemns the targeted assassination” of the Iranian leader, describing it as “in a military strike carried out without a formal declaration of war.”
The party termed the development a serious escalation and raised concerns over the implications for regional stability.
Meanwhile, the Government of India has not issued any formal statement specifically on Khamenei’s reported killing so far.
On Saturday, the Narendra Modi government had expressed concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East, as the United States, Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes. However, it stopped short of directly commenting on the reports regarding the Iranian leader’s death.
India has traditionally maintained working relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, alongside its ties with the United States and Israel. Further official reaction from New Delhi is awaited.
