Paramadvaiti Swami's Kumbha Mela adventures

Things have been in a bit of a lull lately, but underneath the scenes... well to tell the truth, Swami Paramadvaiti is a perpetual motion machine... In Hardwar he met with all kinds of major acharyas and religious leaders, as well as their leading grihastha disciples, and has enlisted their support and cooperation in the bridge issue. Perhaps public opinion in Vrindavan is lagging, but if people like Ravi Shankar, So'ham Baba, Dayananda Saraswati, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and so many other significant players on the Indian religious scene step up, it will not be without effect.

Pictures are given in no particular order of time. Unfortunately I don't have all the names. I will add them as I get them:

Swami Ritavan, myself and Paramadvaiti Maharaj at S.R.S.G. (More of that here)

With Swami Dayananda Saraswati, who is the head of the All-India Acharyas Conference.

With So'ham Baba, the mystery man, by the look of the photo.

This is Jagat Guru Purushotammacharya Ji Maharaj. From what Paramadvaiti Maharaj tells me, this young sannyasi was one of the most favorably disposed to his ideas, and wants to work with him on building a Chara-Sampradaya University of Theistic Vedanta in Tamil Nadu.
