Shri Vimalananda Swamiji of Nithyananda Ashramam had passed away on June 2. The Nithyanada Ashram devotees had buried his mortal remains in the outskirts of the temple, which was objected to by the temple administration and had asked Nithyanada Ashram devotees to demolish the Samadhi.
The Kollur villagers who sought the shifting of the samadhi of Vimalananda built in the outskirts of the temple have called for a bandh tomorrow seeking immediate action on the issue while other organisations have called for a Kollur Bandh on the same day as a mark of protest against the Kollur Math's move to shift the Samadhi.
