MANGALURU: Sri Lakshmivara Teertha, pontiff of the Shiroor Mutt, one in every of Udupi’s famous Ashta Mutts, died on Thursday because of multi-organ failure. Doctors at the sanatorium where the seer used to be treated in the final hours before his passing stated they “suspected poisoning’’. The seer used to be 55.
A release from Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, where the seer used to be introduced at 1.05am Thursday from a private sanatorium in Udupi, stated: “On arrival, he used to be discovered to be severely in poor health with breathlessness, severe hypotension and massive gastrointestinal bleeding. He had (a) historical past of diarrhoea previous to this episode.”
The release added that the seer’s situation persisted to deteriorate rapidly despite absolute best efforts from the scientific group. He used to be declared dead at 8.30am Thursday. It stated there used to be suspicion of poisoning, and toxicological samples had been sent for checking out.
Born Harish Acharya to Vittalacharya and Kusuma at Madamakki, Hebri taluk of Udupi District, Sri Lakshmivara Teertha received sanyasa in 1971. During his first Paryaya in 1978-80, he renovated the Mukhamantapa at the entrance of Sri Krishna Mutt in Udupi.
He used to be the 30th seer of Shiroor Mutt. The seer, who ascended the Paryaya Peetha for the 3rd time in 2010-12, used to be in the news in the past 3 months for his arguable remarks against different seers of the Ashta Mutts and his decision to contest the 2018 meeting polls from Udupi. He once more made headlines for threatening to document circumstances against seers of the Ashta Mutts for refusing to go back the ‘Pattada Devaru’ (mutt deity) which he had handed over to probably the most seers for safekeeping and day-to-day pooja. The seers of the Ashta Mutt were pissed off with him since he refused to appoint a junior pontiff. He died and not using a successor in place.
Uncoated copper vessel the cause?
Ruling out foul play, Vishvesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar mutt stated not one of the Ashta Mutt seers participated in the Shiroor seer’s funeral for “moral and spiritual” causes. He stated the Shiroor seer’s brother had stated earlier that the pontiff had taken in poor health after consuming palaav made in a copper utensil without tin coating. P6
Temple the town shuts down as seer laid to rest
When the inside track of his death broke on Thursday, trade institutions in the temple the town downed shutters and education institutions declared a vacation as a mark of admire.
The mortal remains of the seer — positioned in a bamboo basket in a seated place — were taken to Sri Krishna Mutt in a flower-decorated car. The frame used to be now not bathed at Madhva Sarovara as in line with the custom since a postmortem have been carried out. After a procession down automotive boulevard at the temple premises, the frame used to be taken to Hiriyadka where his moola mutt is situated. There he used to be buried at ‘Vrindavana’ – a burial website for a sage. None of the seers from the Ashta Mutts offered final tributes or participated in any rituals carried out in the Sri Krishna mutt.
Brother files criticism

Good swimmer, drummer
Every year all the way through Krishna Janmastami celebrations, the seer decked performers of the tiger dance troupes with garlands of cash. A excellent swimmer, he used to train early life in the Madhva Sarovar in the Sri Krishna Mutt premises.
A excellent drummer, in June this year he laid the basis stone for a track college close to Shiroor Mutt in Hiriyadka to impart coaching in Indian and Western track. Percussionist Sivamani used to be a normal customer to the mutt.
