Pejawar Mutt seer condemns Udhayanidhi Stalin for comment on Sanatana Dharma

Pejawar Mutt seer Vishwaprasanna Theertha Swami condemned Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin over his comment on Sanatan Dharma.

The seer of the Udupi-based mutt is observing Chaturmasa (four-month) vratha in Mysuru. Udhayanidhi had said, “Sanatan Dharma is like malaria, dengue, and corona and so, it must be eradicated and not just opposed.”

“It is not right for a person in a responsible position, such as a minister of a state, to sow the seeds of hatred in society. 'Sanathana' means something that is eternal. Dharma is a set of principles for the well-being of all in society. Its basic principle is that others should not be hurt or inconvenienced by our actions for our own comforts. As per Sanatan Dharma, our happiness should be such that it should bring happiness to others as well. The mentality to eradicate such an accommodative and inclusive Dharma is not right,” he said.
