Rishi Ajay Das, who claims to be the founder of Kinnar Akhara, has made a big claim. He said- I have removed Laxminarayan Tripathi and actress Mamta Kulkarni from the post of Mahamandaleshwar. The procedure was not followed in making Mamta Mahamandaleshwar, who (Mamta) is accused of treason. How can she be made Mahamandaleshwar?
Das also said that this is not a Big Boss show, which can be run for a month during Kumbh. I had made Laxminarayan Tripathi Acharya Mahamandaleshwar for the upliftment of the Kinnar community and the promotion of religion, but she went astray. In such a situation, I had to take action.
Mahamandaleshwar Laxminarayan Tripathi has rejected Ajay Das’s claim. He said- Who is he to expel me from the Akhara. Ajay Das was expelled from the Kinnar Akhara in 2017. He is saying this for personal gain.
Meanwhile, Akhada Parishad President Ravindra Puri said that we are with Laxmi Narayan Tripathi. Who is Ajay Das? We do not know them.
Ajay Das said- Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi has gone astray
Ajay Das issued a letter saying- In 2015-16 Ujjain Kumbh, I had made Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. Now I am relieving him from the post of Kinnar Akhara. Soon he will be informed in writing.
I had appointed her for the upliftment of Kinnar community and propagation of religion, but she went astray. She made a written agreement with Juna Akhara in 2019 Prayagraj Kumbh without my permission, which is not only unethical but also 420.
‘Leaving the interest of the country, Mamta Kulkarni was made Mahamandaleshwar’
Ajay Das said that in the agreement, Juna Akhara has addressed Kinnar Akhara. This means that they have accepted Kinnar Akhara as the 14th Akhara. This means that not 13 but 14 Akharas are valid in Sanatan Dharma. This is proved by the contract.
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi left the country’s interest and made Mamta Kulkarni Mahamandaleshwar. For this reason, I relieve him from the post of Acharya Mahamandaleshwar. These people are neither following the principles of Juna Akhara, nor the principles of Kinnar Akhara.
Sanyas is not valid without Mundan Sanskar
Ajay Das said that for example, with the formation of Kinnar Akhara, Vaijayanti garland was worn around the neck, which is a symbol of adornment. They abandoned it and wore Rudraksha garland, which is a symbol of sanyas. Sanyas is not valid without Mundan Sanskar. In this way, they are cheating the lovers of Sanatan Dharma and the society.
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi said – Ajay Das was dismissed from the post of founder
Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Dr. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi said – My post was not based on the appointment or consent of any one person. In 2015-16 Ujjain Kumbh, an Akhara was formed by calling Kinnars from 22 states. I was chosen as Acharya Mahamandaleshwar. At that time Rishi Ajay Das was with us.
In 2017, he got married, sold the Ujjain Ashram and went to Mumbai with the money. He was dismissed due to his deeds. If he had been the founder, he would have stayed in the Kinnar Akhara. What is he doing in Computer Baba’s Ashram. Now our lawyers will talk to Rishi Ajay Das. Legal action will also be taken against him.
Talk of removing Acharya Mahamandaleshwar from the Akhara is wrong – Ravindra Puri
National President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad Mahant Ravindra Puri told Dainik Bhaskar – Talk of removing Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara from the Akhara is wrong. Who is Rishi Ajay Das who expelled Dr. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi?
No one knows him, nor has he ever come forward. Now where did he come from suddenly? Akhara Parishad will take strict action on this. Akhara Parishad is with Kinnar Akhara. Kinnar Akhara is associated with Juna Akhara.
Mahant Durga Das, founder of Kinnar Akhara, said- No one can be expelled on someone’s saying. Nothing can happen on his (Ajay Das) saying. The entire Kinnar community and saints are with the Kinnar Akhara. Our Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Dr. Laxminarayan Tripathi was, is and will remain in future too. I am the founder of Kinnar Akhara. From the beginning till the end, I am fulfilling full responsibility to make the Akhara big and strong.
Mamta’s Pattabhishek was done in Kinnar Akhara
On January 24, Mamta Kulkarni was given the title of Mahamandaleshwar in Kinnar Akhara. After bathing in Sangam, her Pinddaan was done. After this, a grand Pattabhishek program was held in Kinnar Akhara located in Sector-16, her new name was kept as Shriyamai Mamta Nand Giri. She stayed in Mahakumbh for about 7 days.
‘I did penance for 22-23 years. I took sanyaas for the welfare of mankind. No one marries after taking sanyaas. Now after becoming Mahamandaleshwar, the question of marriage is over. All this is over.’ Mamta Kulkarni said this to Dainik Bhaskar in her first exclusive interview after becoming Mahamandaleshwar.
