The Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad has decided to impress upon the Kumbh Mela Administration here in Prayagraj not to allot land to ‘self styled fake Baba’s’ during the forthcoming Maha Kumbh Mela in January 25.
A meeting between Akhara Parishad and Maha Kumbh Administration is scheduled to be held on July 18.
The Akharas have decided to press with this demand during the meeting in view of the recent stampede tragedy in Hathras during a satsang organised by Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba.
As many as 121 persons were killed in this horrific stampede.
The Akharas will hand over a list of 20 such self styled godmen who have been spreading superstition in the society with claims of possessing godly powers.
Gullible people fall into their trap as a result such godmen had been thriving, said Mahant Ravindra Puri.
According to the Mahant, it was the duty of seers to guide people on the righteous path and instill cultural values among them.
But such godmen have started business in the guise of religion, an act highly detrimental to the society at large.
