Ujjain : The present Peethadhiswhar Swami Gehanananda and his Naga Sadhus have opposed to appointment of new Acharya Peethadhishwar of Shri Panchayatan Anand Akhara. On 18th May, Mahamandaleshwar Balakanandagiri Maharaj was to be enthroned as ‘Acharya Peethadhishwar’ in the morning, in the presence of Akhara’s ‘Pancha’. On 16th May, the present Peethadhiswhar Swami Gehanananda Maharaj held a meeting with Sadhus-Saints of this Akhara and said that new Peethadhishwar is appointed when the present Peethadhishwar leaves his physical body or asks, on his own, to appoint a new person on this post; but such situation does not exist; still a new Peethadhishwar was being appointed which was wrong.
