Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Ram Janmabhoomi, has expressed his displeasure, saying that individuals not acknowledging Lord Ram and harbouring anti-Hindu sentiments should not receive invitations for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
This reaction was prompted by the invitations extended to Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chief Sonia Gandhi for the ceremony.
Acharya Satyendra Das voiced his disapproval, highlighting that these individuals had previously denied the existence of Lord Ram.
In a statement in Ayodhya, the Ram Janmabhoomi chief priest asserted, “There is no need to invite such critics and anti-Hindu elements to the sacred event.”
“The Pran Pratishtha ceremony, scheduled at Ram Janmabhoomi, holds immense significance for the Hindu community. Excluding those who express skepticism about the existence of Lord Ram aligns with the goal of maintaining the sanctity of the event and ensuring that only those who genuinely revere Lord Ram participate in it,” he emphasised.
Acharya Das stressed that the presence of individuals contradicting the essence of Lord Ram’s existence goes against the spiritual significance of the ceremony.
Earlier, Congress president Kharge and former president Sonia Gandhi received invitations from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust for the consecration function in Ayodhya on January 22. While these leaders are yet to confirm their participation, over 100 Congress leaders from Uttar Pradesh are expected to pay their obeisance to Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 14 and 15.
