Why do you think Avimukhteshwaranand (a legally unapproved Shankaracharya) wants Yogijis Resignation? This is how Akhilesh’s UP Police treated him not so long ago:
My armchair analysis:
He didn’t become a Shankaracharya by legally approved due process as per Hindu customs and traditions of his institution.. other Shankaracharyas do not approve of him. Which makes his claim on his position invalid as well.
So he needs political power to keep his position and power.
I think the SP govt and rest of opposition powers have managed to convince him by hook and crook and fear and intimidation to side with them.
It’s not that hard to imagine corruption at highest level of Hindu institutions. This is one example.
So now he makes political statements against BJP and RSS in order to help him keep his position and power and not be exposed by whatever they have against him over and above the illegality of his position.
What’s your analysis of his reasons to ignore his apolitical position and make politically loaded statements in favor and against some.
If you think he has freedom of expression, he does as a private person but not while he is in his self claimed position.
Compare his political, online and media presence with the real Shankaracharyas and you’ll understand the problem.
