Mangalore, Feb 19: To mark the centenary celebrations of Kudroli Shri Gokarnatheshwara Temple and on the occasion of Shivaratri, 'Urulu Seve', a ritual that involves rolling on the ground, was held at the Temple premises here on Sunday February 19.

A large number devotees including Janardhan Poojary took part in the ritual and prayed for the welfare of society. 'Rathotsava' was also held on the occasion.
 
It may be recalled that Poojary had earlier promised devotees that they would be provided with an opportunity to perform 'urulu seve' during the festival of Shivaratri.
 
He said that he had invited devotees to practice 'urulu seve', which is different from 'made snana'. "In 'made snana', lower caste Hindus roll on plantain leaves with leftovers of meal served to Brahmins, but 'urulu seve' is performed keeping in mind the cleanliness aspect as well," he explained.

    First talk about those who don't allow Shudras to have Lunch (Bhojan panthi) along with upper caste people in some of the Temples in Coastal Karnataka and in other places of India. Not only shudras but also recently the Gowda Saraswathi Brahmins (GSB)were also made to get up from the Bhojan Panthi because they were not Brahmins (Reference: Udayavani) in one of the temple in Undivided Dakshina Kannada District. Just Imagine if this is happenning in Our Intelligent District (Budhivanthara Jelle Mangalore & Udupi), what are the fate of our other parts of our country. What do you say about the following things,
    1. Billavas were not allowed to perform yakshagana in Sri Mandarthi Temple, Udupi District. It was Sri. B. Janardhan Poojary who fought against this and made Billavas to perform Yakshagana.
    2. Bunts were made to get up from the Bhojan Panthi in one of the Temple in Undivided Dakshina kannada district.
    3. Billavas, Bunts,Mogaveers, Devadigas, Kulals, Bhandaries are still discriminated & deprived of entering some of the temples because they are not wearing janivaara & they are Non-veg.
    By dear friends first answer these problems in our society and then comment about Sri B. Janardhan Poojary.

    Don't forget why Dr. B. R. Ambedkar got converted to Buddhism. Lots of discrimination, racism in our society made Dr. B. R. Ambedkar to quit Hinduism & join Buddhism.
    And also Swami Vivekananda has also opposed these social evils like untouchability, discrimination, racism, Shudras not allowed entering temple.

    Great Mr.Nitin poojary, I am really so impressed by your comment that I have no words to express,
    A highly educated person but still you have not forgotten your roots that’s Hindu values, you know all about Bedara kannappa &  Kanakadasa, Very inspiring. you had just shut the mouth of everybody who were all speaking against this urulu seve. Very great. You have enlightened all of us. So going by your comments, I guess you will have to say “its perfectly alright if one takes bath wearing his shirt/pant belt socks and shoes”

    Janardhana Poojari is the only leader from this region who is free from corruption. His commitment to the community, even though he is not in power is commendable.

    Did god has set any rules & regulations for performing urulu seva...no right...not to wear belt socks during urulu seva is created by we human beings. As far has I known Mr.Poojary he believes in only god.
    In that case even meat should be kept away from god has per the upper caste...But BEDARA KANAPA offered meat to Lord Shiva and he accepted it.
    Going by the rules made by upper caste shudras should not enter temples....But what happened in the case of KANAKA DASA in Udupi temple.
    Its only faith dude not rules & regulations.

    Janadhana Poojary is nearing 75 now and talking about Made snana now really mens very funny.It is totally wrong to say that made snana in rolling over leftover on banana leaves by brahmins by lower caste people.In fact people from every caste including brahmins taking part in this ritual since centuries and being performed voluntarily.I have nothing against urulu seve by Mr.Poojary attributing it to be hygenic and clean by wearing cloths,socks etc on dettol cleaned floor is rediculous.In fact true sense of any urulu seve is participent is to take a bath in the temple pond without wearing shirt/baniyan/socks so that body touches the ground with 'pada dhooli'of the devotees.This is refined model of urulu seve to suit the changing times.In coming days we may hear also using mineral water to prepare 'Theertha' and dispensing 'prasadam' by Purihiths by wearing hand glouses in view of keeping in mind the hygene and clean culture! and people will say wah!!...wah!...

    Mr Poojary you made a issue and held a press regarding madesnana at Subramanya, but in this case you dont know how madesnana is practised. It is not practised by wearing socks , shirt and leather belt. If should be done without wearing shirts, socks and leather belt.

    Mr. Poojary....everything on individuals beliefs. So dont talk anything nonsense about madesnana....everybody who trying to politicalise the issue of madesnana should know that, nobody is forcing madesnana on anybody. And this is clear. Somebody trying to twist this saying that madesnana is forced to do on backward community are is big lie and who try to propogate like this are idiots.

    Nothing wrong by doing “Urulu Seve” in highly religious place, but our dearest Poojaryji, will have to pay high price for sponsoring this “Seve” since any “Hindu minded religious ceremony” is banned by Congress and JDS to woo minority votes. So, Poojaryji “Urulu Seve Urul Aande Erege

    Whatever Mr. Janardhan Poojary is doing in the interest of the people of this society commendable. But we are noticing him second time that wearing socks at the time of Urulu Seve and performing the rites is something ridiculous. Please try to avoid this in future.

    Mr. Janardhana Poojari is one of the good politician from Mangalore who did lot of good things to the country. But now days I am surprised to see him doing lot of religious oriented shows like urul sewe” “chandika yajna”, “poojas by widows”, etc Which is nothing to do with his political career nor in the interest of the country. My humble request to Mr.Poojary, please avoid this type of act and work for the real issues of the people. Then only you may win next election from Mangalore. Or you can take sanyasa and start your own mut in Mangalore for the goodwill of the people . Don’t mix politics with religion.
