Udupi, Jan 30: "Bhuvanendra Kidiyuru has celebrated Ashtapavitra Nagamandalotsava for the third time for the welfare of the land. Through this, may the land prosper and Bhuvanendra Kediyoor's new educational institution achieve development," said Sri Sri Vidyadhisha Theertha Sripada, Palimaru Math head.
He spoke while participating in the religious programme of the Third Ashtapavitra Naga Mandalotsava of Karinika Naga Kshetra organized by Kediyooru Hotel Pvt Ltd. On this occasion, Tulabhara service was offered to Sri Sri Vidyadheesha Theertha Sripada on behalf of Kediyoor Hotels Private Limited.
Sri Sri Vidyadhisha Theertha Sripada accepted the Tulabhara and said, "Today's Tulabhara is not dedicated to me. This Tulabhara service is dedicated to Lord Krishna, whom I always worship and Madhvacharya. Bhuvendra Kediyoor has always been serving Krishna. Today, Lord Lakshminarayana's Tulabhara took place here. I will donate the materials obtained from the Tulabhara to the new educational institute being established by Bhuvanendra Kediyooru. Bhuvanendra Kediyooru has dedicated himself to Lord Krishna through this service," he said.
Blessing the occasion, Sri Sri Vidyarajeshwar Theertha Sripada, the junior pontiff of Palimaru, said during the blessing, "Indian culture is a model for the world. Devotion to divinity is a specialty of the coast. In this land known as the creation of Parashurama, if there is the grace of Lord Naga, all activities will occur smoothly. Such a special presence is there at Kediyoor Hotel. This country is run by Rama. At the right time. Ram Mandir has been inaugurated by a suitable person. In the future, we will also get the title of Rama Rajya. Bhuvanendra is standing in the place of Indra and performing this religious work here, and Nadoja Dr. G Shankar is also supporting him. The wealth that we get belongs to God. Bhuvanendra Kediyoor has been giving a part of it to God."
Speaking as the chief guest in the program, Walter Nandalike, the founder of Daijiworld Media, said, "Bhuvanendra Kediyoor has shown that he believes in the welfare of all. I was born and brought up in Christianity. We don't have a choice as to which religion we should be born in. Today, I am very happy to participate in the sacred work of this Nagamandalotsava. I am really happy. It's not just for me; it's a great honor for my entire community to be called here and given a platform today. We have heard about the Naga God many times. The sense of comfort one gets when participating in the Nagamandala, Thambila, Kola, Deivaradhanas of Tulunadu tradition is truly unique. It's not limited to just one religion; it's ours-the lifestyle of Tulunadu. Some people remember God when they are in trouble. But Bhuvanendra Kediyoor has expressed gratitude for the blessings God has given him, and through this, he has made us also a part of this noble gesture."
Agama Pandit Panja Bhaskar Bhat gave a religious discourse.
Bhuvanendra Kediyoor, family members Dr Brijesh Kediyoor and Dr Shweta, Dr Yajnesh and Shilpa Yajnesh, Jitesh and Priyanka, Dr Bhavyashree and Dr Abhin Devdas Shriyan, Yuvaraj Salian Muscat and Mallika Yuvraj were felicitated on behalf of Uchila Sri Mahalakshmi Temple in the programme.
