Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

kiran, the logic is very simple. siddu went after udupi matha. not dharmasthala. why? think about it. for those not familiar, dharmasthala is a shiva temple established by the founder of madhva school himself. the daily services to shiva are still conducted by madhva priests (unheard of in the uber...

[quote="shaardula"][/quote] So what was Siddu right about udupi mutt. This is OT here but I believe it was done and dusted with. Siddu had to bite the dust. Also there are many versions of Kanakadasa story. The one being believed widely is more popular. Being blunt is not being right. My f...
