2021: new head
Sep 27, 2021: The Times of India
A 13-year-old boy was chosen as the successor of Yathishwara Shivacharya Swami who was the head of Kuppuru Gadduge Samsthana Mutt in Chikkanayakanahalli taluk of Tumkuru district.
Law and parliamentary affairs minister JC Madhuswamy said the succession is according to the wishes of the deceased seer that his nephew take over the 500-year-old Veerashaiva mutt after him.
Thejas, the new seer, is studying in class 8 in a private school in Kamasamudra, Hassan district. “Thejas Devaru will perform his duties as the new seer of the mutt and will also continue his education,” Kuppuru Gadduge Mutt priest BR Girish told TOI. Thejas is the younger child of Mahesh and Kanthamani, who live in the mutt. Mutt officials and family members claimed the boy consented to taking up the responsibility.
Yathishwara Shivacharya Swami was admitted to Siddaganga hospital in Tumakuru as he was suffering from Covid-19. He died of a heart attack on Saturday night.
The heads of Kuppuru Gadduge Mutt have been from the same family for the past 500 years. tnn
