The Pejawar Mutt pontiff Sri Vishweshatheertha Swami, one of the powerful seers in South India, said that intellectuals and academicians, who are commenting on Hindu saints, must apologise for spreading false information.
“These intellectuals and rationalists are spreading false information about our great Hindu saints, such as Madhwacharya. These intellectuals are not substantiating their charges against the saints with evidence. This is like dividing society on the basis of caste and deriding Hinduism,” he said in Mysuru.
The seer was indirectly referring to rationalist and retired professor of Mysuru University, Prof K S Bhagawan, who has been questioning the role of saints in inclusive growth of Hindus.
