Programme: Public Meeting from Sri Vyasaraja Seva Samithi and detailed discussion about the current sad state of affairs of Sri Vyasaraja Mutt by its pontiffs and his family.

Some of the key points discussed were -
- Lack of eligibility & ability for junior pontiff to sit on the Peeta
- His disinterest in learning and acquiring knowledge as promised by Senior pontiff 2 yrs back, and his infinite, insatiable interest in loukika matters
- Junior Pontiff's illegal, immoral, illicit deeds which has now become a regular feature in the media like Prajavani, TV9, Garva, Agni, Hai Bangalore etc
- The irresponsibility, insensitivity, incapability to react to the situation by senior pontiff
- All the 7+ sons, son-in-law, their family members taking advantage of the situation and making their hay while the mutt suffers with lack of pride and esteem. Please await a detailed report on this by a seperate mailer.
- The recent activities of all the above people to misappropriate the movable and immovable assets of the mutt and the Legal actions in the proceedings initiated by the Sri Vyasaraja Seva Samithi to curtail their advance.
