LORD MANJUNATH OF DHARMASTHALA

It is here lies its strength that accounts for its glory.Its beginning reads like a phantasy, and the continuance of its existence has given rise to many uniques that made it a flourishing Dharmapitha, attracting the attention of the world by turning itself into a pilgrimage centre with traditions new and ministrations humane. Among the uniques meriting mention, the practise of administering justice to the disputants deserves first mention and highest veneration. It is acting as the highest civil court without appellant jurisdiction, as it were. Its verdicts are treated as divine and all-abiding. Both the complainant and the defendant take the word of the Heggade, the virtual Godhead of that holy kshetra, as infalliable, impartial and all-acceptable.He is the chief spokesman of the presiding deities and custodian of the eternal Dharma. So he is revered, respected, venerated and adored with a zeal unparalleled, and his position, in fact, far surpasses the pontiff of any religious pitha of ancient or modern times, although he never like any venerable Acharya goes round visiting places over the globe, or enters into hair-splitting arguements with scholarship of an ace dialectician. In fine, he is the be-all and end-all of all, connected with administration of that little but lofty land called Dharmasthala. How and wherefrom did he get such super human powers deserve full treatmtent, Now listen!
