Holy rage over Ganga.
(From The Times of India)
Byline: Manjari Mishra
LUCKNOW: A spurned Chanakya swore public vengeance approximately 2350 years ago, the history folklore records.
On Monday hundreds of seers, Dandi swamis and assorted godmen led by Swami Avimukteshwaranand- heir apparent to Swaroopanand Saraswati, the Shankarachrya of Dwarikapeeth- congregated at Rajendra Parasad Ghat in Varanasi and took a vow (sankalp) not to rest till they annihilate all conspirators out to tamper with the unhindered course of Ganga.
The weapon of assault in this ecclesiastical war against the Union of India, however, are Vedic mantras - non-violent but no less potent than all those deadly nukes put together, claimed Pandit Kameshwar Upadhyay, the president of Akhil Bhartiya Vidwat Parishad.
