Udupi, Nov 16: The Dalit – Shudra Swabhiman Samavesha with the theme,
'Why the Dalits got to embrace Vaishnava philosophy since Lord Krishna
himself denied to join the sect? was held at Narayan Guru Kalyana
Mantap, Bannanje, here on Tuesday November 16.

Madhwa tradition is in contradiction with Krishna – Kanaka
contemporary relations. The convention was organized by the district
Dalit Sangharsha Samiti (DSS) (Bheemavad) and Bangalore-based Samata
Sainika Dala.

Dr C S Dwarakanath, former president of State Backward class's
commission inaugurated the Samavesha.

Stating that the Madras High Court in a historical verdict announced
that Sri Krishna worship centre was a temple and not mutt, Dwarakanath
expressed his deep concern over recent developments, wherein the
district-in-charge minister Dr V S Acharya wrote to the Chief Minister
B S Yeddyurappa to denotify Sri Krishna Mutt and bring it within the
purview of Ashta Mutts. Sri Krishna Mutt is a public worship centre
and does not form part of Asta Mutts that propagate Vaishnaiva sect,
he said.

He also urged the state authorities, to bring the Sri Krishna Mutt
under the administration of religious and endowment department. 'We
have been saddened by Pejawar seer Vishweshateertha's intention to
render dheeksha to dalits as Vaishnavas, he said and urged the seer to
accept dalits as disciples, thereby paving the way for the community
to worship Lord Krishna.

Further, he said that Hinduism is passing through difficult stage in
the country for which Christian and Muslim brethrens cannot be held
responsible. It's organizations like RSS and Sangh Parivar, which are
responsible for this, he alleged.

Samata Sainik Dala state president M Venkataswamy presided.

Intellectual Lolaksha, BSO state president B Gopal, Komu Souharda
Vedike president K L Ashok, state Kurubara Sangh president
Ramachandrappa, Narasinga Patel and A B Hosamani among others were
present.

DSS state convener R Mohanraj delivered the keynote address.

The members of DSS Bheemavada cleansed the Kanaka's idol that is
located in front of Kanakana Kindi of the mutt. They also worshipped
Kanaka idol. A procession was carried out ahead of the convention.
