In response to Jyotishmath Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati’s criticism of the Ram Temple event, spiritual master Sri Sri Ravishankar has stated that Lord Ram himself created a Shivling without a temple. This statement was made on Wednesday.
Since Lord Ram’s idol is going to be set in a temple that is still under construction, Shankaracharya has stated that he will not be attending the event on January 22. Other provisions allow you to continue constructing the temple after the prana pratishta has been completed. At Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, Lord Rama himself performed the prana pratishta of a Shivalinga. A temple did not exist during that time period. For some reason, he was unable to construct a temple. He was responsible for prana pratishta, and the temple was constructed after that,” he explained.
The opposition questioned the government about the reason it was inaugurating the temple so quickly after Shankaracharya’s remark, which caused a new dispute between the two organisations.
Gurudev stated that the Balaji temples in Madurai and Tirupati were quite small. They were constructed at a later time by the kings.
He also stated that the wrong that occurred five hundred years ago is currently being rectified.
It’s like a child’s dream come true. The people have been waiting for this for the past five centuries. By doing so, the evil that occurred five hundred years ago is being rectified. According to the founder of Art of Living, “there is a great sense of celebration and a lot of enthusiasm throughout the entire country; this is quite remarkable.”
During this time, the Member of Legislative Assembly for the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar group), Jitendra Awhad, stated that the government was conducting the ceremony in a temple that was not yet finished.
Is the 22nd of January a Ramnavmi? No. In spite of the fact that the temple in Ayodhya is not yet finished, pran pratishtha of the idol is still being performed. Real issues such as inflation, unemployment, and other similar topics are not discussed in the run-up to elections. He asserted that there was a clear indication of caste bias in the invitations that were distributed for the consecration event.
On January 14, Shankaracharya explained why he would not be attending the ceremony. “It is not appropriate to instill life (pran-pratishtha) in the body as long as it does not have its head or eyes. It is contrary to the texts that we have. Because of this, I will not be going there, because if I go there, people will tell me that scriptures have been violated in front of me without my knowledge. As a result, we have brought up the matter with responsible individuals, particularly with the members of the Ayodhya Trust, and we have suggested that the celebration should take place when the temple has been successfully erected in its entirety. “There has been some discussion going on,” he stated.
