The ultimate aphrodisiac, Lingam Swamy, as tweeted by Rishi Kapoor seems to be fake |
Staff correspondent, September 11, 2015, NewsCrunch
Veteran actor and Twitter's favourite rogue Rishi Kapoor has tweeted about a certain Lingam Swamy whose private parts are worshipped by devotees seeking life long sex.
The photo shows a devotee, who has stooped down uncomfortably close to Lingam Swamy's private parts, to seek his blessings.
Though Rishi Kapoor called the photo "ridiculous" suggesting that he opposed the blind devotion, his tweet opens up a new treatment venue for believers struggling with sex-related problems.
In a country, where exotic treatments find many takers, it would not be a surprise if Rishi Kapoor's tweet prompts many to go in search of Lingam Swamy. If they do, they are likely to be disappointed.
The photo is genuine but Rishi Kapoor's caption seems to have come from his imagination.
The sadhu in the photo is obviously a recluse Naga sadhu, who has come down from his Himalayan Cave during Kumbh Mela.
Naga sadhus live in akharas and derive their names from them - Shri Panchadashanam Juna Akhara , Shri Panchayati Mahanirwani Akhara, Shri Taponidhi Niranjani Akhara, Shri Taponidhi Anand Akhara, Shri Panchayati Atal Akhara, Shri Panchadashnam Awahan Akhara, Shri Pancha Agni Akhara and Shri Panchayati Akhara.
There is no akhara, which can lead to a name like Lingam Swami, which has a Bollywood ring to it.
So, why Rishi Kapoor cook up a caption to send devotees on a false hunt? He has been tweeting against Radhe maa, meat ban, protesting against the excessive religious fervour the country seems to be suffering from.
What better way to make this point than tweeting about Lingam Swamy, who private parts can be worshipped to seek eternal sex life.
Lingam Swami. Ridiculous. People so gullible as to take blessings of his private parts to have life long sex.Shameful pic.twitter.com/hKU43yzubd— rishi kapoor (@chintskap) September 9, 2015
