Government to take over Samputa Narasimha Swamy Temple?

June 11: Kukke Sri Subrahmanya Temple Hitarakshana Vedike has urged the government to take over the Samputa Sri Narasimha Swamy Mutt in Subrahmanya and bring it under the Endowment Department.
Forum state president and temple managing committee member Mahesh Kumar K S said that the ‘Sarpa Samskara’ and ‘Ashlesha Bali’ rituals performed at the Mutt do not appease to the deities. The rituals related to Lord Subrahmanya should be performed at the Temple. Devotees take vows to offer these rituals to Lord Subramanya and not Samputa Sri Narasimha. But, the Mutt staff are convincing devotees to perform the rituals at the Mutt at high cost.
He mentioned that the state government’s Dharmika Parishat and Religious Endowment Department must ensure that the rituals related to Lord Subrahmanya are performed only at the Temple and not at the Mutt.
