An FIR was registered in Prayagraj against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and his disciple Mukundanand Brahmachari for alleged sexual abuse of two individuals, including a minor, at a gurukul and during religious events such as the Magh Mela
Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has challenged a Magh Mela administration notice questioning his use of the Shankaracharya title, warning of contempt and defamation action, amid a long-running Supreme Court dispute over the Jyotish Peeth headship
Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati says, it is mentioned in the scriptures that 33 crore gods and goddesses reside in the body of a cow. We have been running a movement to declare the cow as 'Rashtra Mata' for the last one-and-a-half years
Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-NDA government, which promised to protect cows, was encouraging cow slaughtering and slaughterhouses
