" The Great Aghor, he has been described as having "supernatural powers" and has vowed to "fast-unto-death".

Baba Naganath, who hails from the ancient streets of Kasi and lives amidsts the burning pyres of the Manikarnika Ghat, stopped taking foodstuff with a sankalp to see the natural free-flow of the Ganga. Determined in his sacrifice, the police forced him to hospital many times during this period. He was on glucon drips and medication. After four years of fast his body became stiff, he can hardly bend his hands. In order to support the protest or tapas of Sri Naganath the doms of Manikarnika stopped burning the dead bodies for a couple days on several occasions in last four years.

The goddess exacted from him the very last part of his individual surrender. The holy man said he is not afraid of laying down his life to save Ganga.

Since November 29, 2008 Baba Nagnath was on fast demanding uninterrupted flow of the River Ganga that was affected owing to the construction of the Tehri Dam that was built over the Bhagirathi River, which is also considered a part of the Ganga in Uttarakhand.

"I have been on an indefinite hunger strike since November 29, 2008, for the uninterrupted flow of the River Ganga. During this period, I wrote many letters to the authorities to attract attention to my cause, but till now no action has been taken. There was also correspondence with the administration, but it was again of no use. Due to this, I am in this condition today."

Shri Nagnathji further stated that his cause is very important to him and he does not mind dying for it.

"I can give up my life but cannot leave my resolve for the uninterrupted flow of the Ganga. And if I die without achieving my cause, then the government will be responsible for this."

That end which a ascetic is capable of attaining by penances, by Brahmacharya, by sacrifices, by practicing renunciation, one is sure to attain by only living by the side of Ganga and bathing in her sacred waters.

"The devotees of Lord Shiva as they give a bath to the linga during worship. And for this reason, many devotees prefer to take a dip in the holy water of river Ganga on a Shivaratri day." (Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva, Chapter 27, Verse 26)

"One may, by putting forth one’s best powers, count the stones that occur in the mountains of Meru or measure the waters that occur in the ocean, but one cannot count all the merits which belong to the waters of Ganga." (Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva, Chapter 27, Verse 97)

There is no scripture in our vast body of spiritual literature from the Vedas, Mahabharat and Ramayan to the eighteen puranas that do not mention the purity and glory of the Mother Ganga and several have elaborate hymns in her praise.

Yet to the Indian government that ignored tapas Gangaputra Baba Nagnath, this holy river no more than a flow of water to be harnessed for hydro power, supply and irrigation.

Gangaputra Baba Nagnath passed away early in the morning on 11th July 2014 after an epic struggle of 2050 days fast at a hospital in Varanasi.

The author of The Holy Ganga Kaushal Kishore had his personal experience with Baba Nagnath at a small attached to the cremation ground at Manikarnika Ghat where he was fasting. 'As soon as I entered his hut I was presented with heart rending scenes. A medical expert was injecting his lifeless body. After some questioning I learned that since the establishment made him a subject of experiment of medical science his body started to turn lifeless. I looked carefully at his hands that were like lifeless rocks impossible to even bend. Trilochan Shastri and Kapindra Tiwari were at his service. After sometime he turned towards me and said, “Who said Nigmanand* is dead ?”. I was stunned after hearing this. He said in a strong voice “I am Nigmanand”. I could never forget that day. The words from Baba Nagnath’s lifeless body were not the least lifeless. The spirit of Gangaputra lives on.' "

*Swami Nigamananda had caught a heroic battle against Haridwar’s mining mafia, finally shut down only after the Uttarakhand High Court ordered the closure of the mining company, 25 days after Swami Nigamananda get in into a coma and 16 days before he passed away.
