Mysuru: Pejawar Mutt Seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji, who passed away yesterday, had brought about social harmony in the city by building a bridge between communities, overcoming challenges.
The story goes back to a decade ago when the Seer visited the city for his annual Chaturmasya in 2009. Even as he was engaged in Chaturmasya Vratha, the Swamiji took out a padayatra in Dalit dominated localities such as Gandhinagar, Kailasapuram, Manjunathapura, Ashokapuram, J.P.Nagar Railway Colony and other areas. This padayatra became a subject of debate across spectrums and the padayatra also drew criticisms from certain quarters.
