Yeti Narasimhananda Saraswati is a staunch Hindu fanatic. His pursuit of radical Hindu youth has distanced him from the core of Hinduism. It is not possible to take our eyes off the way he is spewing venom against Muslims. There is nothing wrong in being a staunch Hindu.
However, a distinction must be made between a fanatical Hindu and a fanatic Hindu who is threatening a civil war against the Muslims. Narasimhananda Saraswati belongs to the latter category.
Narsimhanand was once arrested by the Chandigarh Police as he went for self-immolation before the Haryana CM residence. Narsimhanand is working for Hinduism in Western UP. He is the Mahant of Dasna Devi Temple.
