Kalpavasi is proud of the holymen who are creating awareness about global warming

Kalpavasi.com is proud of the holymen creating awareness about the global warming during the kumbha mela at haridwar. Holy men participating in the ongoing Kumbh Mela have come forward to create awareness about global warming.

The group of holy men, belonging to different Akharas (sects), have taken on the responsibility of spreading awareness about global warming at the fête and working towards recycling waste matter.

The controversy erupted when the alleged self-proclaimed Shankaracharya of the Sumeru Kashi Peeth Swami Narendrananda sought allotment of land from the mela (fair) administration at the Kumbh.

Claiming that there were only four Shankaracharyas in the country, one of the Shankaracharyas said no land should be allotted to Swami Narendrananda as he was a "fake" Shankaracharya.

Disciples of Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati have threatened that they would leave the Mahakumbh if the "fake" Shankaracharyas were not asked to leave the mela area.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Thanks Mayavati

The problem of Police force shortage faced by the Uttarakhand govt. for the forthcoming Kumbha Mela seems to have come a happy ending with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minster Mayawati agreeing to depute as many policemen from Uttar Pradesh as possible. This is the first time that the Uttarakhand state would be hosting the full or poorna Kumbha mela and any help from its earlier parent state Uttarpradesh is welcome, as all the previous Kumbha Melas at Haridwar have been conducted by Uttarpradesh
