Mallika Sherawat is a 'pure soul': Bharathi Swamiji
Calling Mallika Sherawat, ''a pure soul'', Bharathi Swamiji welcomed Mallika to his new ashram in Karnataka.

The Shankaracharya brought a number of high priests from Kerala and Mangalore for the special occasion, which included Miss Sherawat inaugurating for the pontiff's Hanuman project at a cave. Sherawat also initiated a new Hanuman temple on the site.

Miss Sherawat received the Shankaracharya's invitation while staying in Los Angeles for the post-production of her new film 'Hiss' and made the trip back to India especially for the occasion, which included extensive pujas with 600 lotus flowers.

Sherawat said, ''After having spent most of my time recently in the U.S, it was a great honor for me to make a special trip back to India to meet the Shankaracharya. In a very special way it reconnected me to my Hindu roots. The experience was truly one of the best of my life.''
