UDUPI, KARNATAKA, INDIA, September 28, 2005: Sri Vishvesha Thirtha Swamiji of
Udupi Pejavar Mutt today expressed surprise over the statement of Karnataka
Deputy Chief Minister M. P. Prakash in the controversial Sri Krishna temple
takeover issue. In a release here, he said both Mr. Prakash and Law Minister H.
K. Patil, during their telephonic talks with the seer, had assured to have a
dialogue on the
controversial issue.

However, Mr. Prakash had stated in Bangalore that there was no going back on the
Government's stand of taking over the Sri Krishna temple administration and
appointing an administrator. ''Despite my repeated invitations to the Government
to discuss the issue to have an out-of-court settlement, the Government went on
to say that it will take over the temple and appoint an administrator,'' the
pontiff said.

He cautioned the Government that if it adopted a confrontationist attitude, then
he would be left with no alternative but to approach the court or any other
means within the legal framework to defend the stand of the Ashta mutt (eight
mutts of Udupi).
