Dainik Bhaskar sting: Mahants from Juna, Nirvani & Nirmohi Akharas allegedly offered Mahamandaleshwar / Jagatguru titles for ₹20 lakh or land

A Dainik Bhaskar investigation claims that senior mahants from three major akharas — Juna, Nirvani, and Nirmohi — offered high religious titles like Mahamandaleshwar (and even Jagatguru in some cases) in exchange for money or property.According to the report:

  • A reporter posed as a wealthy IT professional who had returned from the US (Cupertino), claimed to have made a lot of money, and said he now wanted to leave corporate life and become a high-ranking sadhu rather than an ordinary one.
  • He was allegedly told that the title could be arranged for around ₹20 lakh, or by registering land in the akhara’s name for an ashram that he would run himself.
  • Separate meetings took place in Nashik and Haridwar with figures from the three akharas.
  • The investigation suggests the process for these titles was being treated transactionally in the cases they recorded.

The video and report include clips of conversations and name specific mahants connected to the offers.

Savarkar Objected To Cow Worship, Treated It Only As A Useful Animal : Savarkar's Grandnephew Tells Pune Court

in one of his books, he had clearly written that a cow is plainly an animal and regarding it as a deity or goddess would amount to an insult not only to humanity but also to the very concept of divinity.

"To proclaim that cow protection is a religion, that it brings both worldly and spiritual merit, that the cow is itself a deity, or even that all the thirty-three crore Gods reside within the cow, and to compose endless verses around such notions, does not truly ensure the protection of the cow. On the contrary, such beliefs foster blind sentimentality within the nation. In the name of devotion to the cow, devotion to the nation itself is weakened. Human welfare is sacrificed before the cow, and the very purpose for which cow protection originally existed is defeated. However useful the cow may be, it nevertheless remains an animal. It is argued that if people are taught to regard the cow as a deity, they will care for it more devotedly; therefore, cow worship should be regarded as a religious duty. But this belief is itself a foolish misconception. Instead of promoting wisdom, it contributes to the intellectual degradation of society,"

‘Not an iota of evidence’: Court discharges ex-AAP MLA Naresh Balyan in extortion case

A Delhi court on Friday discharged former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Naresh Balyan in an extortion case linked to absconding UK-based gangster Kapil Sangwan, observing that in the absence of any direct evidence, police probe was conducted on the assumption that “suspects were the culprits”

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Paras Dalal of Rouse Avenue courts, in an order delivered on Friday and released on Saturday, pulled up the prosecution for “losing crucial time” and “failing to collect direct evidence”, showing the former legislator’s links with the gangster.
