Shankaracharya, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati not going to Ayodhya on 22 January
In the midst of his interaction with the journalists at a religious event of the Sanatan Dharma Sabha in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati Shankaracharya of Govardhana Peeth in Puri revealed that he will not be going to Ayodhya on 22 January, for the Lord Ram Idol consecration .
The Sankaracharya who heads one of the four Mutts established by Adi Shankaracharya made it clear
that though the Mutt has received the invitation but to go with only one person adding that even if he was allowed to go with 100 people, he will not go.
He has been visiting Ayodhya in the past and will visit the same in future also to get darshan of Lord Ram, particularly as the work which remained blocked for centuries is finally happening.
He further added that the installation of Ramlala’s idol in the temple should be done according to Shastriya Vidhi (principles of our Shastras).
The jurisdiction of Govardhan Peeth/Mutt spans up to Prayag, but neither our advice nor our guidance was sought for the entire January 22 religious exercise.
