Shankaracharya Swaroopanand complains to RSS against 'Har Har Modi' slogan
- 5 years ago
Dwarka Peeth Shankarachayra Swaroopanand Saraswati has raised objection to the "Har Har Modi" slogan in favour of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and registered a strong protest with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asking him to stop such "Vyakti Puja" (eulogising of individual).
The Shankaracharya is unhappy over the traditional chant "Har Har Mahadev" raised to hail Lord Shiva being "modified" to "Har Har Modi" to spruce up Mr. Modi's campaign who is contesting from the Varanasi constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Mr. Modi is also contesting from Vadodara in Gujarat.
"After learning about it, I called up Bhagwat yesterday and asked him to stop such chanting, which is an insult to Lord Shiva. I told him that converting 'Har har Mahadev' into 'Har Har Modi' must be stopped. Instead of worshipping god, it is an attempt to worship a particular human being and is against Hindu religion," the seer told PTI over phone on Sunday.
