Dharwad, May 7: The devotees of a Swamiji here were shell-shocked at the sight of the Swamiji without any clothes on his body.

The video clip of the head of Ayyappa Swamiji Math here has become viral. The people are aghast at the way the Swamiji, known as Mohan Guru Swamiji, has projected himself through this act. The devotees, who have become angry, have now been demanding him to be ousted from the Math.

Mohan Guru Swamiji

It is said that Mohan Guru Swamiji consumed overdose of liquor at night and then consumed ganja. Under the influence of these things, he came in the nude and slept at Siddaroodha Ashram on Kusagal Road. Devotees who came to the Math in the morning saw what had happened.

Under the leadership of Mohan Guru Swamiji, every year, hundreds of devotees were inducted into the annual pilgrimage programme and in honour, he was also taken in a procession atop an elephant as a mark of honour.

Swamiji clarifies

Mohan Guru Swamy, giving his account of the episode, claimed that he was resting at Sidharoodha Math on Kusagal Road, when some miscreants without his knowledge, removed his clothes, recorded the same on video and shared it in social media. He gave the name of the miscreants as Vijaya Poojari from Shabari Nagar and Shjankar Iddali who did this act because they are envious about his rise in popularity in the field of spirituality.
