The consecration ceremony of Ramlala in Ayodhya has got the support of two Shankaracharyas.
Shankaracharyas of Kanchi and Sringeri say that the ceremony is being conducted as per Hindu customs. He has also rejected the claims of opposition to the Pran Pratistha ceremony.
The special thing is that two Shankaracharyas, Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and Nischalanand Saraswati, had raised questions on the ceremony.
Vijayendra Saraswati Swamigal of Kanchi Kamakoti Math has denied the claims of being against the ceremony. According to Times of India, he said, ‘With the blessings of Lord Ram, Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha will take place in Ayodhya on January 22.
Yagyashala will also be worshiped during the ceremony. More than 100 scholars will start the puja and havan of Yagyashala. Prime Minister Narendra has special faith in the development of pilgrimage sites in India.
He has also expanded the complexes of Kedarnath and Kashi Vishwanath temples.
Shankaracharya Swami Bharati Teerth Maharaj of Sringeri is also in support of the celebrations.
He said the ceremony was in full accordance with Hindu rituals and being the representative of the people of the country, Modi had the right to perform the rituals prescribed by the priests.
Speaking to the newspaper, Devjan K N Somayaji, Dharmadhikari of Sri Sringeri Sharda Peetham, said that once the sanctum sanctorum is completed, there should be no controversy regarding the ceremony.
“Construction is a long process,” he said. Sometimes it continues for two to three generations. However, once the sanctum sanctorum is completed, there should be no dispute over it.
This has been completed in Ayodhya. He said Modi will carry the idol of Lord Ram to the sanctum sanctorum barefoot after a long process of purification as per Hindu traditions. He also said, ‘We should not forget that he will be there as a representative of the entire country.’
what was the dispute
Recently, Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati had said through a video message that none of the four Shankaracharyas will go to Ayodhya, because the consecration is taking place before the construction of the temple.
He had said, ‘Shankaracharyas should ensure that religious texts are completely followed.’ Earlier, Nischalanand Saraswati had also talked about staying away from the function.
