Will not participate in shahi snan in Yamuna unless water is clean: Hindu seers
Mathura, Feb 27: Underlining the Yamunaâs acute water pollution, three prominent Hindu seers of the country on Saturday vowed not to take another bath on other shahi snanâ days during the ongoing Vrindavan Kumbh near here unless the river water is clean. The declaration to boycott the shahi snan in the river on three remaining auspicious days â March 9, 13 and 25 â and thereafter during subsequent Kumbh fairs was made by the chief of the Ayodhya-based Maha Nirvani Akhara, Mahant Dharm Das.
Mahant Dharam Das made the declaration in presence of the chiefs of two other Vaishnavi akharas Maha Nirmohi and Maha Digambar akharas. In the next âshahi snanâ, we would take the holy dip in the Yamuna, only if the water is clean, Mahant Dharm Das said, with the chiefs of two other prominent akharas nodding in agreement.
