IT AGAINST DECORUM FOR PM MODI TO TOUCH THAT

STATUE -SHANKARACHARYA

 

CHHOTA AKHBAR.

Puri's Shankaracharya Swami Nischalanand Saraswati recently announced that he will not participate in the Pran-Pratishtha Mahotsav of Ram Lalla. He has expressed strong objection that Modi should touch the idol of Lord Shri Ram there and I should stand there and clap, this cannot happen. This is against decorum. Yesterday in Ratlam, Swami Nischalanand Saraswati said that PM Modi touching that idol is against decorum. Therefore, they cannot witness such violation of decorum. I received an invitation that I could attend the event with only one person. The kind of politics that is happening in Ram temple should not happen.

Let us tell you that Swami Nischalanand is a saint of Puri who has followers both in the country and abroad. He is the only saint in the world from whom even the United Nations and the World Bank have taken advice. On 18 April 1974, at the age of 31, he attained the Sannyasa of Dharma Samrat Karpatri Maharaj in Haridwar. After that he was named Nischalananda Saraswati. He is the 145th Shankaracharya of Govardhan Math Puri.

Whatever Swami Nischalanand Saraswati had said, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand also said the same thing. He also said that Ram Mandir should not be made an arena of politics. He had also said that this event should have been held on the day of Ram Navami. Now the PM bypassed the trust formed by Shankaracharyas and Dharmacharyas and formed a new trust in which he appointed his people, this is not a contribution. There are still 17 days left for this event and before that, new controversies are arising one after the other, what will happen in future, nothing can be said yet. And at the end of the day, Modi himself wants to be consecrated, this is politics. If he had chosen a saint for this, it would have been his best. In such a situation, the question of any ifs and buts does not arise.
