Bangalore: Where in Thirwananthapuram, the Padmanabha temple authorities warn of misdemeanor before God would be punished, while counting the temple wealth, in Karnataka the Muzrai (Hindu Religious Endowments) department is regarded as one that invites curses upon its minister.

Krishnaiah shetty knows why he was jailed and those others who resigned also realize that the Muzrai portfolio goes with a curse to the minister who handles it.

So the then CM Yeddyurappa put it round the neck of late Dr. V.S. Acharya of Udupi. who was among those built Jan Sangh and BJP in the state, as he was untainted and good in character.

The Home minister Dr. V.S. Acharya  took it up, as additional burden in his supreme faith in God and his temples.

V. Somanna had lost elections as Muzrai minister and Ramachandre Gowda came under a bad name so did not want it CM yeddy quickly passed it on to Dr. V.S. Acharya.

There is a whole list of ministers who fell in elections as Muzrai portfolio holders, from B. Nagaraj Shetty, Ms. Suma Vasanth, M.P. Prakash, V. Somanna and Malur Krishnaiah Shetty.

Dr. V.S. Acharya lost Home minister and returned to higher Education when he was given the cursed Muzrai matters. But Dr. V.S. Acharya, a pious clean and gentle minister, has died now as Muzrai minister.

Whom do gods support now? It was a supreme sacrifice made by late Dr. Vedavyasa S. Acharya.
