Sode Swamiji Appoints Subramanya Bhat as In-charge of Shiroor Moola Math
Udupi: Following the suspicious death of Shiroor Sri Lakshmivara Theertha Swamiji, the Swamiji of Sode Math Sri Vishwavallabha Swamiji has appointed Subramanya Bhat the former manager of Shiroor Moola Math as the in-charge of Shiroor Moola Math.
Under the leadership of Subramanya Bhat, the daily Puja’s will be held from morning 7 to 9 at the Shiroor Moola Math. Two local priests are appointed for the daily Puja.
Since the Moola Math is now under police supervision the priests, supervisor and workers need to sign the register before entering the Math.
Speaking to the media, Subramanya Bhat said, “I have taken the responsibility of the Shiroor Moola Math as per the order of the Sode Swamiji. As the Swamiji’s death is suspicious, the police department has tightened the security around the Math. The Shiroor Math has around 2200 acres of land at various places most of which have no proper records and evidence. The identification of the existing assets will be done soon. The Shiroor Swamiji had started a Cow Shelter at the Moola Math with 50 cows and now there are 125 cows in the shelter”.
Vishwavallabha Theertha Swamiji has said that the process of appointing Lakshmivara’s successor will begin soon. “We are looking for an eligible person to take over the Shiroor Math. Under the guidance of the senior Swamijis, the process of selection will begin”.
