The diamond crown which was valued at 1.2 crore rupees at the time of completion, has quintupled to 5-6 crore rupees in the present day. Hence would it not be prudent to say that His Holiness only acquired a wonderful property for Sri Krishna Matha? This is Sri Krishnamurthy Acharya’s reply to the critics who claim that the diamond crown was only a dead stock investment.
As we can see every activity of the second paryāya of His Holiness Sri Vidyādhīṣa Tīrtha espouses the aspects of devotion in the divine and knowledge of the same. Hence let us dedicate these achievements in their entirety to Lord Krishna as espoused in the saying “twadīyamēva gōvinda tubhyamēva samarpayē’.
Śrī śrī vishvēsha tīrtha swamīji had a big role in ensuring that this was a smooth transition and tactfully handled all the legal challenges that arose due to the same.
In this devotional service, senior and junior seers of Pejavara and Adamaru matha, seers of Krishnapura, Kaniyooru, Subrahmanya, Bheemanakatte and Sode matha participated along with senior and junior seers of paryaya Palimaru matha. Despite being withdrawn from all worldly matters, the seers actively participated through chanting the divine works of Haridasaru in soothing tunes to eclectic beats.

After this, Acharya Madhwa visited the temple of Vishnumangala, near Kasaragodu. There, he engaged in delivering discourses on the Bhagavata. He had his disciple, Shri Hrishikeshatirtha, recite the hymns. Shri Hrishikeshatirtha used to melodiously recite the hymns through his sweet voice.
On a dark night, completely void of moonlight, Acharya Madhwa was giving a sermon. Then, suddenly a bright light filled the dark sky. Everyone present there was astonished.
A picture depicting this incident of Acharya Madhwa singing melodiously, adorns the cover page of this edition.
After all, wasn’t he the same Lord Hanumanta who had traversed the mighty sea spanning 100 yojanas itself? Wasn’t he the same Bheemasena who had performed great miracles as a child in the Ganga? Hence, it comes as no surprise that Shri Madhwacharya was able to traverse the Ganga by bare foot.
Despite traversing a great distance of 100 yojanas, defeating the demons such as Simhike etc, Lord Hanumanta introduced himself as a faithful servant of Lord Rama without any pride and vanity. Servitude is one of the nine types of devotion (Bhakti) we have to offer to the supreme Lord. Servitude implies dedicating ourselves to the supreme Lord. There is no greater example than Lord Hanumanta for us to follow.
