What is the controversy regarding Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda?
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand claimed on Sunday (January 18) that during the Prayagraj Magh Mela on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, the administration stopped him from going towards Sangam Nose. He had alleged that he was stopped midway by the policemen while going to Sangam Ghat. The situation became such that I and my followers were forced to return to our Akhara without taking the holy bath.
According to Shankaracharya, his palanquin was stopped midway. It is alleged that senior police officers allegedly pushed his disciples and also misbehaved with them. After this there was a scuffle between Shankaracharya’s supporters and the police. When the situation worsened, Shankaracharya demonstrated against the fair and the local administration. Two separate notices were issued to Shankaracharya by the Prayagraj Mela Authority, due to which resentment increased among the Sant Samaj and Hindu organizations.
