Abstract

Veerbhadra Mishra, who passed away recently, was seemingly a man of contrasting callings. He was steeped in the 400-year-old Bhakti tradition of Goswami Tulsidas and served as the Mahant (high priest) of Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi, said to have been founded by the Bhakti saint though the current structure was built by the nationalist Madan Mohan Malviya in the early 20th century. To many of us he was Mahantji. And one of the first sights of the day for many of us was Mahantji descending the steps of Tulsighat, head bowed respectfully in prayer.
