Kanpur: Laxmi Swarup Brahmachari alias ‘Falahari Baba’ a hermit from Unnao, was arrested and sent to jail during the Ram Mandir movement. During his stay in jail, he had taken a vow that until the temple of Lord Shri Ram is built, he would survive only on fruits.
As he has not consumed food for the last three decades, he is therefore addressed as ‘Falahari Baba’ by the locals.
Presently, he is residing at Jajmau village of Fatehpur Chaurasi block in Unnao where he has built Phoolmati temple.
A disciple of Dandi Swami Devashram of Maa Bhuvaneshwari Peeth located in nearby village Lonarpur, the baba became the block coordinator of Bajrang Dal in 1988. He said on the morning of October 12, 1989, he was arrested because the police suspected that he was going to demolish mosque at Rae Bareli crossing. “On October 17, I had taken a vow in jail that until Ram temple is built in Ayodhya, I will not consume even a single grain of food”, the baba said. He will taste ‘Panjiri’ in the form of food on Jan 22”, said his brother. TNN
