Therefore, ‘Pattada Devaru’ will not be given back to the Shiroor seer, Pejawar seer had said. But the Shiroor seer, after the clipping was aired, clarified the voice was not his and somebody had mimicked his voice. And on Wednesday, I had papers readied for filing criminal case against the Astha Mutt seers, barring Puthige Mutt, regarding non-handing over of Pattada devaru Vittal’s (Mutt deity) statues and other statues to him, which he had handed over to the Mutt for safekeeping during his illness. Seniormost seer of the Mutt Vishwesha Teertha of Pejawar Mutt had said as the Shiroor seer himself had admitted of not following the ‘Sanyasa dharma’ he was not capable of handling the rituals associated with the Mutt and preserve its sanctity. "Since we are pushed into Sanyasa at a young age, we too have desires," he had stated in the voice clipping that was alleged to be his.
