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.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
