Avimukteshwarananda controversy
On Mauni Amavasya on 18 January 2026, during the Magh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, the palanquin of Swami Avimukteshwaranand was not allowed to reach the Sangam bank. The fair administration had given permission to go on foot in that area for crowd management and security reasons. Swami Avimukteshwaranand is very angry with the palanquin being stopped and he is sitting on strike. This statement of CM Yogi is being linked to the Avimukteshwaranand controversy.
In the Ramayana period i.e. Tretayuga, Kalnemi is considered to be Ravana’s cousin. Kalnemi was the son of the elusive demon Marich, Marich seemed to be Ravana’s maternal uncle. Kalanemi had taken the form of a sage to trick Hanuman ji and kill him.
In another story, Kalanemi is said to be the son of Hiranyaksha, who was killed by Lord Vishnu. Kalnemi’s brother’s name was Andhak. Kalanemi was the cousin of devotee Prahlad. When Kalanemi was killed, devotee Prahlad prayed to Lord Vishnu for his salvation. Then he said that in the next life he would be killed by them again, and then he would be saved. The same Kalnemi was born as Kansa in the next life and became the king of Mathura in Dwapar, who was killed by Vishnu incarnation Shri Krishna.
Kalnemi wanted to trick Hanuman
During the Lankan war, when Meghnad shot Lakshman with a Shakti arrow, he became unconscious. To save his life, Sanjeevani herb had to be brought before sunrise. Ram devotee Hanuman flew towards the Himalayas to bring Sanjeevani herb. When Ravana came to know about this, he called his elusive brother Kalanemi. He asked Kalnemi to stop Hanuman on the way, so that he could not reach Lakshman with the Sanjeevani herb till sunrise.
Kalanemi took the form of a monk and sat in a hut on a hill. Created a lake with his illusion and also kept a Makari in it. When the brave Hanuman was passing by him flying through the sky, Kalanemi, who became a sage, started chanting the name of Ram loudly. Hanuman stopped there as soon as he heard the name Ram, out of curiosity he went near him. They wanted to know who was the person at such a place, who was chanting the name of their Lord. When Hanuman went to Kalanemi, he said that you must be tired. Go to the lake and take a bath.
