Udupi (Nov. 29): Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Krishnanagar, Udupi on Friday and participated in the Lakshakanta Bhagavad Gita Shloka program. During this, he also inaugurated some events at Krishna Math. Modi unveiled the gold plating of the Kanaka’s door of Krishna Math.
A new controversy has arisen behind this. Former minister Pramod Madhwaraj, who donated gold plating to the Kanaka’s door of Krishna Math in Udupi, has not been invited to this program, which has led to a discussion in the coastal city.
Pramod Madhwaraj himself had gold plated the historic Kanaka’s door. Decades ago, Pramod’s father Madhwaraj had built the Kanaka’s temple. Now, Pramod Madhwaraj has rebuilt the temple and has had the door gold plated. There has been a lot of objection on social media about Pramod Madhwaraj not being invited.
It has been objected that only those who donated should have been invited to the program. It has been objected that Kanakadasa was not allowed then, and Pramod was not invited today. Former minister Pramod Madhwaraj has also responded to the discussion on social media.
‘Prime Minister Modi garlanded the statue of Kanaka and inaugurated the golden kavacha. It is not a big deal that I did not get the opportunity to participate in this program. I did not get the opportunity to go to the region due to various reasons. When the golden kavacha was being built, Modi was not scheduled to come. When the program was scheduled for Modi to come, Swamiji made arrangements for the inauguration. Modi garlanded the statue of Kanaka built by my father. This was a program that was decided at the last minute. God has given wisdom to Prime Minister Modi and paid homage to him. Swamiji has kept his word,’ he said.
In the face of this happiness, the fact that he was not invited is not an issue. There is no boredom, boredom, or boredom. I am happy to see the scene of the offering on TV. I do not know who banned me from entering or why. These are all trivial matters, I do not worry about it. Modi himself has come and touched my and my father’s service. I do not want any other happiness than this. When so many people are invited, they may not have had the opportunity to invite me. I do not know why they did not invite me, he said.
I think this could also be God’s will, I do not blame anyone. I have said that I am safe inside a shell so that I do not feel any pain or boredom.
I am insignificant in front of Kanakadasa’s devotion
Speaking about the accusation that Pramod Madhwaraj was excluded like Kanakadasa, he said, Kanakadasa was the one who endured all the insults and thought that he was the power of Krishna’s devotion. Krishnadev never bowed down to anyone before Kanakadasa and never did after. I am insignificant in front of Kanakadasa’s devotional power. If he is the sun, I am a firefly. I have not been insulted, I am honored. Why the BJP has not called me is a matter for the party. As a social worker in the BJP, I am doing all the work given by the party without any desire for reward. The next matter is a matter for Krishna Kanakadasa. I have not claimed that I have not called anyone. Everyone is calling on their behalf and saying that it is not us, it is not us.
There was no information till the last minute
Puttige Swamiji also said that it is not us. I have thanked Puttige Swamiji for giving me the opportunity to serve. Kanakana Gudi Kanakanakindi is related to our family. So I was expecting that I might have access to that area somewhere. I did not get the information till the last minute. I have not arranged a pass to go to the meeting. I have not even got a pass for the meeting, he said.
He said that if he wanted to see Modi, he should have gone to the road show, but when he comes to the road show, it takes on a different color. He said that he watched it on TV at home with bated breath.
