IT SEEMS MUMBAI HAS BECOME UDUPI: PEJAWARASHRI

Mumbai, Jan 04: Hard work brings good yield and a contented life. Lord Krishna is a selfless God, and a spiritual energy to the whole world. If we become his devotees human life will be more fruitful. By installing Sri Krishna the society will achieve growth and these stone temples are needed for this type of service. Thus Mumbai has become second Udupi-said Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji, the Pontiff of Sri Madhwacharya Mahasamsthana Udupi and Sri Pejawar Mutt .

Shri Pejawarashri inaugurated the stone temple at Prabhat Colony, Santacruz (E) and blessed the devotees.

Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji inaugurated the Sri Krishna Pratishtana Mahotsava and said mother earth has the power to bring down the things that have gone up, but Lord Krishna can lift up the people who have fallen down. God’s grace is necessary for humans. Selfish humans have forgotten God and their lust have kept them away from God. Let’s serve Lord Krishna and make our life a meaningful one. Let there be harmony among us. Let the people of Karnataka and Maharashtra continue the same harmonious life and get all wealth and wishes from Lord Krishna.

The young Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt Shri Vishwaprasanna Swamiji installed the Shri Krishna statue by performing the Kalashabisheka, Maha arathi in the early morning.
