[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 179295, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"] [B][SIZE="5"]Naga sanyasi stopped from taking 'samadhi' for Nirbhaya[/SIZE] By Mrigank Tiwari, TNN - Feb 2, 2013, 12.44 AM IST[/B] [B]ALLAHABAD:[/B] A Nagasanyasi, who had pledged to bury himself under earth by taking 'bhoosamadhi' to highlight Delhi gangrape victim Nirbhaya's issue at the Mahakumbh on Friday, was stopped by the administration from going ahead with his pledge. Swami Shyamanand Saraswati had on Thursday lent his voice to the echo of justice for Nirbhaya and claimed that he would bury himself under earth in a religious custom called 'bhoo samadhi'. Saraswati was to bury himself in a six-feet-deep pit in sector 9 of the Mela city at around 11.15am and was supposed to remain there for nine days without food and water. While buried, the sanyasi had planned to "pray to God to instill sensitivity among men so that they respect women and never indulge in acts of harassment and molestation". The Naga sanyasi had been hogging the limelight since the past few days after taking the decision. However, on Friday morning, as he moved towards the Samadhi site, he was stopped by cops. Citing security concerns and orders from higher-ups, including SSP Kumbh Mela R K S Rathore, the cops persuaded the sanyasi to abandon the idea of taking 'samadhi'. He was later escorted back to his camp inside Juna Akhara in Sector 9. The sanyasi defended his act by stating that it was a form of 'hatayoga' and that he was preparing himself for the pledge for the last one week. "He had stopped eating and was taking only tea and water," said a follower. Talking to reporters on how he would breathe inside the pit, he said, "Yoga is the key. I have been practicing yoga for the last 40 years." Claiming himself to be a "champion of women's rights and one who believed in their true liberation", Saraswati said: "I took the decision to take bhoo samadhi to highlight the recent attacks on women, especially the ghastly Delhi incident. The yoga practice, which may sound weird to some, may perhaps arouse the sensitivity of men who would learn to respect 'naari' (woman) and refrain from indulging in violent attacks against them in future." Asked as to how he would have managed to remain alive inside the pit for 9 days without food and water, the sanyasi said: "Hathayoga is full of examples where the practitioner has come out unscathed from rigorous situations. I have been practicing this form of yoga since the last 40 years and also undertaken similar practices."
