UDUPI, INDIA, JANUARY 18, 2002: The unwritten spiritual philosophies propounded by Madhva, the great 13th century exponent of Vaishnava dualism, are being followed faithfully by the Udupi Srikrishna Math for the last 500 years, Sri Vishwapriya Theertha Sripada, the junior pontiff of Adamar Math, said here today. Speaking at the Srikrishna Math’s Rajangana, he said that four days after Makara Sankranthi, the rights of performing puja to Lord Krishna will be handed over to the next swamiji. Palimaru Math seer Sri Vidyadeesha Theertha Swamiji ascended the Paryaya Peetha today amid religious ceremonies. Seers from the eight Udupi Mutts of Tirupathi, Sriranga, Pushkar, Dwaraka, Mantralaya, Kateelu, and Kandandala maths honored the new head priest. They take turns holding the right to perform the puja to Lord Krishna at the head temple.
