Bharath

Varanasi was earlier an abode of Vishnu's form Bindu Madhav. The temple of BinduMadhav was touted to be as magnificent as the Jagannath Puri in a structure resembling a Swastika. So much so that in the 1660s, Aurangzeb earlier ordered the demolition of Bindu Madhav and constructed Alamgir Masjid on its ruins at modern day Panchganga Ghat, Ghasi Tola and then the काशी विश्वेश्वर at Gyanvapi (built by Todarmal in 1585) (Today a makeshift Bindu Madhav temple stands beside it run by the Patwardhan marathi brahmins). काशी विश्वनाथ की महिमा, a popular rendition about the history of this city cites स्कंद पुराण and काशी खंड - "कभी बिंदू माधव रहे, इस नागरी के भूत, फिर शिवाजी को सौप दी कशी भेट स्वरूप".

Mahesh Vikram Hegde, your own account is so full of holes,I feel sorry for your predicament. You claim to have met me casually in a coffee house with some journalist way back in 2014. I meet countless people every month. I am not obliged to remember a non-entity like you. I only remember people who leave a very good impression. Meeting you was, if at all we met, a non event! I have no idea what you do. Are you supposed to be a VVIP or a star, that you expect to be remembered by people who may have met you per chance with someone for a brief period. By the way I have hardly ever visited the Coffee House you mention. If i have to meet someone, it is almost always in IIC where I am a member. Then you say that some years later I called you at night for a long conversation and shared my desire for a Rajya Sabha seat! Firstly, your phone number is not in my address book. I checked carefully. Secondly, when i have access to top leaders in BJP and most other parties, why would I express my desire for a Rajya Sabha seat to an non entity like you? Thus far no BJP top leader has ever claimed that I met them for any such favour. Only paid bots of IT Cell head Porn Peddler Amit Malviya make such claims. By the way, do you have the clout to get anyone a Rajya Sabha seat or any other postion in the govt? Then you say I called to wish you on your birthday. Why would I remember the birthday of a stranger when I don't even remember birthdays of my first cousins or nephews? If you want to do a real hit job, learn from the Double Engine Sarkar--File a bogus POCSO like case against me as they did against Shankaracharya Avimukteshwranand ji. They found a historysheeter, a rapist to lodge that noxious FIR. I am sure, being a Sanghi, you must know many history-sheeters who can file equally bizarre charges against me! In short, you are as disgusting as your bosses. Don't try to ride on my back!
