I admire Sri Puttige seer for his true service to spread Hinduism in the US.My memory goes down for the event of Paryaya of the seer during 2008,wherein the entire gambit of asta mutt swamigi;s boycotted the final days function.Only Bheemasamudra swamiji and Heggade ji were present on that day.Reason was he has voilated the mutt rules by travelling to US.He was forbidden to perform Sri Krishna pooja by touching the idol for entire his term of 2 years.He maintained great tolerance and now he is hailed by the senior Swamiji of astamutt. Kalaya thasmai namaha.......God is great, | |
