These days Devkinandan Thakur is in the midst of discussion regarding the demand of Sanatan Board like Waqf Board. He told what is Sanatan Board and why is it needed. He was asked why there is a demand for Sanatan Board like Waqf Board. How will this protect religion and what is the end result? He gave his argument on this.
He said, “I want to tell one thing to the Sanatanis that the Vakka Board only looks after the land. It is a land board, which will take care of the land and the power given to the Waqf Board, he said that the Parliament is ours. The airport is ours but Sanatan does not snatch it from anyone. Divides everyone.”
Sanatan Board will protect temples and pilgrims, not property dealers
Along with this, when he was asked that you say that the Waqf Board is arbitrary and works like a property dealer, then why do you want to become like that? Explaining the importance of Sanatan Board, he said that we want such a Sanatan Board, in which we can protect our temple, temple arrangements and places of worship and pilgrimages. If Sanatan Dharma is formed, then all the temples and shrines will come into it. The best use of that money will be that we will build hospitals, cow shelters and impart values to our cultured children.
When he was asked that he wanted to get out of the control of the government? Then he replied that for how long will the double engine government remain and in which states. We want that the arrangements of temples, worship and Vedas should all be in the hands of our Dharmacharyas and Shankaracharyas. It should not be in the hands of any officer or leader.
I never took money for Ramkatha
Meanwhile, Devkinandan was asked a question, “I read somewhere that Goswami Tulsidas, who wrote Ramcharit Manas, did not earn any money from anyone but you are charging Rs 8 to 10 lakh by narrating his story. If so? He replied that he never charged even Rs 8 for narrating the story. 8 lakhs is a far cry.”
Devkinandan said, “You are looking at a story from the perspective that a storyteller told the story and Rs 10, 20, 50 lakhs were spent, but you are not seeing that when a story was told, how many people were benefited through it. Got the job. A tent seller got work, a mike seller got work, a fruit seller got work. You can’t even imagine how many people got work.”
No charge for the story, payment is made for the hard work of the team members
On this, when he was asked that if you do not charge then he will still get the work and if you do not charge then where does Rs 8 to 10 lakh go? He replied that I have a team of 50 to 60 people and those 50-60 people also have families. Among them, the one who is playing my seven tablas, singing, playing the flute is the one who calls me to narrate the story. He gives it to them only. Don’t give me.
