The countdown begins. The 2016 paryaya when our own Swamiji Sri Sri Vishwesha Teertharu assumes paryaya, his turn to worship Udupi Shri Krishna for the next 2 years, is on 18th Jan 2016, just a few days away. As many of us know, Sri Sri Vishwesha Teertharu will be assuming paryaya for the record 5th time. This is a great moment for all the Madhwas, and we should try our best to be present in Udupi on the day of Paryaya.
Why should I attend Paryaya?
The great swamiji, who is revered by one and all, is going to assume the temple responsibilities for the record 5th time. Only Shri Vadiraja Teertharu has assumed 5 times before. This is a once in a lifetime moment and a proud one too, we may not witness any such in future. It is a great occasion for us. We should consider ourselves blessed if we can be there in Udupi and take Swamiji's blessings on that day.
