The confrontation between Jyotirmath Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand and the Prayagraj Mela administration has deepened, turning into a high-voltage mix of faith, governance, and politics. As the protest enters its fifth day, allegations of police excesses against disciples and saints have sparked widespread outrage, with critics questioning why no concrete action has been taken against officials so far. The administration’s move to issue notices one after another has further inflamed tensions, with many calling it counterproductive to reconciliation. Political reactions have sharpened the divide. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav openly backed the Shankaracharya, stating that true saints confront power, while BJP leaders accused the opposition of deliberately disturbing communal harmony. Religious voices too are split—Acharya Pramod Krishnam appealed for restraint and dialogue, warning against attempts to divide Sanatan Dharma, whereas Mahamandaleshwar Computer Baba alleged systematic targeting of saints and disrespect toward the saffron tradition. Amid the turmoil, a significant religious development has emerged: after 19 years, all four Shankaracharyas may share a common platform in Delhi on March 10–11 for a major Gau Raksha event, sending a strong message of unity. As tempers flare and political stakes rise, the dispute now stands as a test of governance, religious dignity, and Hindu unity.
