Battle for UP: Now Ayodhya saints yearn for career in politics

Apparently inspired by Yogi Adityanath, chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, now the saint of Ayodhya wants to get involved in politics.

A priest of the Hanuman Garhi Temple, Mahant Raju Das, and Mahant Paramhans Das of Tapasvi Ji Ki Chhawani, are among the prominent saints hoping to vote from the Ayodhya (Sadar) parliamentary seat, which is considered a VIP constituency.

BJP’s Ved Prakash Gupta is the current MLA for the seat and a contender for the 2022 ticket.

Ram Janmabhoomi, where a magnificent Ram Temple is under construction, is located in this constituency.

Mahant Paramhans Das said: “I have decided to vote from the Ayodhya parliamentary seat. I am seeking votes from the BJP. If the party rejects the vote, then I will submit the nomination as an independent candidate.”

Referring to his agenda, he said: “If Morvis gets a salary, then the Prophet has to get a salary too.”

Paramhans Das is often in the news for holding protests and making controversial remarks.

A year before the Supreme Court ruled on Ayodhya’s title lawsuit in November 2019, Paramhans Das had announced that he would sit on a cremation pyre and set himself on fire if the central government failed to issue an decree to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Mahant Raju Das is also said to be keen on a parallel political career and has even spoken to top BJP leaders in this regard.

However, Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Ram Lalla Temple, is against the saints entering active politics.

“There are two kinds of nitis (policy) – Rajniti (politics) and Dharamniti (religion). Those who enter Dharamniti are not allowed to participate in Rajniti. These are two different fields,” he said.

Satyendra Das, 82, a former Sanskrit lecturer, has been conducting Ram Lalla pujas at the makeshift Ram Janmabhoomi temple for the past 28 years. He recently said that Yogi Adityanath’s absence from Ayodhya’s seat was a good decision.

Earlier this week, Swami Avimukteshwaranand had said that the saint should not be the chief minister.

“No one can keep two promises. A saint can be a ‘mahant’ but not a chief minister or prime minister. This is possible in Islam’s ‘khilafat’ system, where the religious leader also happens to be the king,” the senior minister said. See Apparently Yogi Adityanath is mentioned.

Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, the successor to Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, chairman of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, also opposed the saints’ participation in elections.

Ayodhya district has five parliamentary seats – Ayodhya (Sadar), Rudauli, Mulkipur, Bikapur and Gosaiganj. The BJP won all of them in the 2017 poll.

Train smarter, not harder: How taking occasional breaks from gym can revolutionise your fitness routine

Taking regular breaks from intense training, like deload weeks, helps your body recover, preventing fatigue and injury, and ultimately boosts fitness gains.

When it comes to getting fit, the idea of spending hours at the gym might come to mind, but many fitness experts argue that taking a “deload week” every six to eight weeks is actually key to improving your fitness gains. A deload week involves reducing the intensity of workouts to allow the body to recover from the fatigue and muscle damage caused by intense training.

While high-intensity training helps build strength and fitness, it can also lead to muscle strain, and without adequate recovery, these gains can’t fully materialise. Deload weeks give the body much-needed rest to repair and rebuild, ensuring continued progress. (Also read: Bhagyashree swears by this super easy exercise for instant leg pain relief and better mobility.

Why recovery is key for muscle growth

According to an article by The Conversation, intense exercise can cause tiny tears in muscle fibres, leading to inflammation that requires rest or low-intensity exercise to heal. This inflammation is essential for muscle growth and fitness improvements. However, without proper recovery, muscles remain in a state of slight damage, preventing inflammation from resolving. This chronic state of inflammation can hinder muscle function, reducing oxygen efficiency and impairing performance. Giving muscles time to recover through rest ensures they repair properly and are primed for continued progress, setting us up for greater success in our fitness journey.

Many gymgoers fear taking time off and are worried it will lead to a loss of gains. However, research shows that muscle genes have a “memory imprint,” which keeps them in a semi-prepared state. This allows muscles to respond more quickly and effectively to future training, promoting growth after a rest period. Even after extended periods of reduced intensity, up to seven weeks, muscular fitness can be restored to prime condition—and in some cases, surpass previous levels. Interestingly, recovery can occur twice as fast as it took to reach peak fitness initially, even if some strength is lost.

Taking time off from intense training is crucial to prevent muscle soreness and avoid overtraining syndrome. Overtraining occurs when the body doesn’t get enough rest, leading to prolonged fatigue, decreased performance, and mood disturbances. Symptoms develop gradually, making overtraining difficult to recognize until it’s severe. Rest is essential to avoid these issues and ensure long-term progress in training.

Role of overtraining syndrome and deload weeks

Overtraining syndrome is challenging to quantify due to its vague symptoms. Studies suggest it may affect as few as 10% of elite athletes, though rates could climb to 60% among highly competitive individuals. Recovery is essential for both fitness and overall health. When engaging in heavy gym routines, it’s vital to incorporate sufficient recovery time into your workout plan. Unlike rest days, which involve little to no exercise once or twice a week, deload weeks feature lighter training at reduced intensity—typically about 50% fewer workouts or a 20% drop in workout intensity.

Both rest days and deload weeks are essential for recovery and crucial to improving fitness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—they complement each other. For instance, intense training for marathons, Ironman, or CrossFit competitions requires weekly rest days alongside scheduled deload weeks. However, for recreational gym-goers exercising 1–3 times weekly at a moderate intensity, the recovery from this routine is often sufficient without the need for additional deload weeks.

Fitness influencers recommend incorporating deload weeks into training schedules every 4–8 weeks, aligning closely with the expert advice of 4–6 weeks. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and schedule deload weeks as needed. If your performance plateaus or worsens, it may signal time for a deload. Training plans should be flexible enough to allow rest when required. Deload weeks not only enhance performance but also support overall health.
