Already classes one to eight were functioning at the vidyalaya.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">The construction of hostel was intended to attract students from across the State. The future project was to add a pre-university college and a degree college at Pajaka. English medium education would be provided from Class 5, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">The seer said that the mutt would also conduct a two year residential course for senior citizens who wished to study \u2018shastras\u2019 here. A part-time course in Hinduism would be started here for those interested in knowing about Hindu religion, Bhagwad Gita and the \u2018shastras\u2019. But the starting of this course would depend on the number of people it attracted, the seer said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">He would give \u2018sanyasa deekshe\u2019 to a youth from the Devadiga community within a week. The youth aged 26 was interested in spiritual matters and had been in contact with him for the last six years. \u201cI will reveal the youth\u2019s name later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">The seer said that he would give \u2018nama deekshe\u2019 to people of all castes, while he would give \u2018mantra deekshe\u2019 to only those persons who abstain from liquor and consumption of meat. The people receiving \u2018nama deekshe\u2019 could consume non-vegetarian food except beef.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">\u201cI have no agenda except to strengthen the Hindu religion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">To a query, the seer said that canards had been spread about him by certain forces that he had incited mobs to demolish the Babri mosque in Ayodhya, which were totally false and baseless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">\u201cI have participated in Muslim conferences in Kasaragod and Mangaluru. I have always opposed protested against inflammatory statements by Hindus against any other religion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guesthouse with 40 rooms will provide better lodging facilities to the pilgrims, says the seer.
