‘Mukteshwaranand is a fake baba, Congress backing him‘: Swami Govindananda Saraswati Maharaj’s scathing attack
In a fervent critique, on Sunday, Swami Sri Govindananda Saraswati Maharaj launched a scathing attack on Swami Avimukteshwaranand, branding him as a fraudulent baba.
Accusing Avimukteshwaranand of gaining unwarranted popularity, Govindananda Saraswati Maharaj highlighted instances where prominent figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and business magnate Mukesh Ambani allegedly endorsed him.
Swami Sri Govindananda Saraswati Maharaj said, “One fake baba called Mukteshwaranand is getting popular these days. PM Modi has touched his feet and a big businessman like Ambani welcomed him to his home. Some people on TV are giving him the tag of ‘Shankaracharya’. I want to give this message to all the citizens of the country that Mukteshwaranand is fake number one, he is not even deserving of adding sadhu, sant, or sanyasi to his name so forget about Shankaracharya.”
Govindananda Saraswati said that the Congress was backing Avimukteshwaranand. He claimed that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had written a letter on September 13, 2022, addressing him as revered Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand. “The Congress issued a letter and Avimukteshwaranand went to the Supreme Court… How did Priyanka Gandhi Vadra write a letter addressing Avimukteshwaranand as Shankaracharya when the Supreme Court had issued a stay?” he questioned.
While speaking to the media, Govindananda showed an order from a Varanasi court.

Further exposing Mukteshwaranand, he said, “A non-bailable arrest warrant has been issued against him (Avimukteshwaranand); he has been declared an absconder. We want to bring all this to the attention of the Supreme Court, but they keep postponing hearings, and we seek justice. He is causing harm to the country.”
“We are putting all of these documents forward for the sake of the country. Avimukteshwaranand is killing and kidnapping people, raising questions against the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram, he is attending weddings pretending to be a ‘Sanyasi‘. He is saying that 228 kg of gold in Kedarnath is missing, does he even know the difference between gold and brass?” Govindananda asked.
He further said, “Will Congress decide who the Shankaracharya is? He is standing against Narendra Modi and who is backing him? Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Avimukteshwaranand will stand with Rahul Gandhi when he makes anti-Hindu remarks. Why? This letter is the reason. Congress is playing a game and Avimukteshwaranand is the toy. I want to ask Priyanka Gandhi Vadra that she should either issue a public apology for writing this letter or we will file a contempt in the Supreme Court against her.”
Earlier this month Avimukteshwaranand faced the heat after he made some political comments. He suggested that Uddhav was a victim as his party was split. “Uddhav Thackeray has been betrayed and many people are anguished by it. People’s pain won’t subside till he becomes the chief minister again. Betrayal is the biggest sin. The one who betrays can’t be a Hindu. The one who tolerates betrayal is a Hindu,” he added.
Avimukteshwaranand received heavy backlash from various seers who said Uddhav Thackeray betrayed the Hindu community and Devendra Fadnavis.
