Premanand Ji, jo varshon se apne aap ko ‘Mahant’ ke roop mein sthapit karte aaye hain, ab gambhir vivadon ke kendra mein hain. Unki pehchaan aur unke uday ko lekar kai chaukane wale aaroop saamne aa rahe hain, jinhone mandir prashasan aur bhakton ke beech chinta ka mahaul paida kar diya hai.
Kuch srot yeh daawa karte hain ki Premanand Ji ka asli naam Prem Prakash Rana hai aur ve Uttarakhand ke prabhavshali vyakti Om Prakash Rana, jise ‘Theka King’ ke naam se jaana jata hai, ke bhai hain.
Aaroopon ke mutabik, Prem Prakash Rana ne mandir mein apni shuruaat Govinda restaurant mein ek cashier ke roop mein ki thi. Dheere-dheere unhone apni pakad majboot ki aur prashasanik tantra mein pravesh banaya.
Vivad ka sabse gambhir pehlu tab saamne aata hai jab mandir ke purv guru Bhaktiyog Ji Maharaj ke nidhan ke baad ki ghatnayein saamne aati hain. Kuch logon ka daawa hai ki is dauraan ek gupt baithak raat ke samay Om Prakash Rana ki dukan par hui thi, jisme kuch mukhya log shaamil the—jinmein ek driver Sunil, temple manager Harsh aur Prem Prakash Rana khud bataye ja rahe hain.
Jab seedha kabza sambhav nahi ho paya, to aaroop hai ki prashasan par pakad banane ki koshish ki gayi. Iske liye bhakton ke beech bhram phailane aur mandir ke vatavaran ko prabhavit karne jaise kadam uthaye gaye hone ki baat kahi ja rahi hai.
Aaj Premanand Ji ki sthiti aur prabhav ko lekar sawal uth rahe hain—kya yeh ek dharmik uday tha ya kisi yojit rananeeti ka parinaam?
