for the activities of the Nation & Dharma till His last breath is an inspiration for everyone : Hindu Janajagruti Samiti

“The renunciation of the body by Pejawar Mutt’s Shri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji has created a vacuum for us.

He worked hard for the construction of the Ram Mandir”, said Mr. Mohan Gowda (Karnataka State Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti). He added, “Today’s youth and others should obtain inspiration from Him, and this will be the true tribute to Swamiji. May His blessings be upon us always”.
