Humiliating Article on Sri Madhwacharya !

Namaste all,

Just wanted to make sure all the Madhwa Bandhus out there, are aware of whats happening in this world about our own Siddhanta.

We have initiated certain activities, most of which are in the planning stage.
Yesterday during the Nitya Karma Workshop, organised by Madhwa Yuva Parishat,
there was a unanimous decission to support the action of condemning the press, the editor and his article and offer all the support to activities of taking further action. We also started a signature campaign, which would help the cause.

We also have to keep in mind the reputation of all our sacred Mutts and the PeetadhipathigaLu and weigh each of our steps and actions.

Thanks to Srinivas Prasad for creating an awareness and taking the lead in contacting the right people to address this issue.

The latest news is that, there is already a complaint lodged at Vijayanagar Police Station by the trustees of Sri Rayara Mutt, Amarjyoti Nagar. We will update you all on the actions as and when they flow into us.

Regards
Harish

Atmiya Haribhaktare,

Please find attached an humiliating article which is published in Bangalore News paper daily 'POLICE NEWS' on 2nd Sept' 07.
We understand this article is written by Mr.Rahul whose father is the founder of this news paper.

Yesterday during the 'Nitya karmanushtana' seminar at Vidyapeetha we raised this issue and submitted the copy of this article to Sri Anand Thirtha Nagasampigeacharya.
We also conducted signature campaign of the attendees to take unified legal action on this press and the editor. We have submitted copy of the article and signatures yesterday evening to Sri Sathyadhyana Katti Acharya of Uttaradimath. Signatures are also attached in zip folder.

Some of the Madhwas suggested to ignore this article. We are aware that there were lot of articles written in the past which were not responded by Madhwa community.
DO WE ALLOW ANY OUTSIDER ON THE STREET TO HUMILIATE OR INSULT OUR ANCESTORS ??
Then why should we keep quiet when our Jagad Guru Sri Madhwacharya is being insulted?

We the members of every Madhwa Sangha in every city, Members and Leaders of above Yahoo groups must stand united at this time for brain storming to initiate legal proceedings (under the leadership of Matt or the registered Madhwa unified group). By legal route we not only teach a lesson to this publisher but will also caution other editors who dare to write anything on Madhwa philosophy. We the youth should take this responsibility now.

If there are any advocates in any of the above groups please come forward to guide us in this regard.

In view of above, we request all the above Madhwa group leaders and members to assemble either at Poorna Pragna Vidyapeetha or Jayathirtha Vidyapeetha on Sunday evening. Location and time will be confirmed on Friday after discussing with the respective Matts.

Hare Srinivasa,

Srinivas Prasad
