Onus of protecting the dignity of the mutt lies on everyone: Minister
Endowments Minister V. Srinivasa Rao has said that the government will constitute a committee to look into the issue of selecting the successor to head the Sri Pothuluru Veerabrahmendra Swami Vari Matham (Brahmamgari Mutt) in Kadapa district. Addressing the media here on Sunday, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said it was the responsibility of everyone to protect the dignity and respect of the mutt. “Sri Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami, who penned the ‘Kalagnanam’, a book of predictions in Telugu, had entered ‘jeeva samadhi’ in 1693. Since then, 11 pontiffs have headed the mutt,” the Minister said.More Related News
