Udupi: Palimar Maths Sri Vidyadheesha Teertha Swamiji, who is all set to ascend the Paryaya Peetha for the next year, performed the ‘Akki Muhurtah’ at the math premises amidst spiritual and religious rituals at 8:30 am on Friday, January 20.
The ceremony is the second in line of the four rituals that are performed by the Swamiji before ascending the Paryaya throne. ‘Bale Muhurat,’ ‘Akki Muhurat,’ ‘Kattige Muhurat’ and ‘Bhattha Muhurat’ are the four rituals.
The Swamiji ascends the Paryaya throne on January 18, 2018. Prayers were offered to ‘Akki Mudi’ that was kept in the golden chariot marking the ceremony of ‘Akki Muhurat.’
The Muhurat signifies the accumulation of the rice and other cereals for the two years of Paryaya of the math. Although the prayer is offered to rice, it is symbolic in the ritual.
The Muhurat would ensure the collection of all the cereals and initiates the symbolic gesture of collecting the donations for the expenses of feeding the devotees during the two-year Paryaya.
Vinay Kumar Sorake former minister, Raghupathi Bhat, U R Sabhapathi former MLAs, Meenakshi Madhava President CMC and others were present.
