Uttarakhand: Shankaracharya, chief priest lock horns over Kedarnath jyotirlingam pooja rites

Kedarnath, Jun 26: As Kedarnath, one  of the holiest Hindu shrines, stands desolate amid ruins all around, a nasty fight has broken out between Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopananda Sarasawati and the head priest (Rawal) Bhimashankara

The chief Rawal can assign any one of his five disciples to perform pooja of Lord Kedarnath throughout the year, he said. On Monday, Lord Kedarnath's pooja was performed at Ukhimath, and since then daily pooja is in progress.




Meanwhile, it was decided on Tuesday at a conclave of sadhus and saints under the presidentship of Shankaracharya, that a 11-member delegation of sadhus will go to Kedarnath on Thursday, clear up the holy shrine, do the purification rites, and begin performing pooja of the sacred Jyotirlingam, consecrated in the 8th century by Adiguru Shankaracharya.
