Jyotish Peeth Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati accused central and UP governments of shielding culprits in the Ayodhya Ram temple offering theft, alleging a “major govt conspiracy” to replace traditional saints. He also sparked debate by asserting the cow, not ‘Bharat Mata’ with a flag, is the true Mother of the Nation, and opposed Vedas in NCERT. His remarks drew sharp criticism from the Nath Sampradaya.
