Swami Avimukteshwarananda told when he will worship…?
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwarananda of Jyotirmath in Uttarakhand, who opposed the Prana-Pratishtha ceremony in january this year by calling the ram temple in ayodhya 'half-finished', refrained from worshiping in the ram temple on Sunday. He said that the temple is incomplete and worship cannot be done in a partially constructed temple. Swami Avimukteshwarananda said that he will worship in the ram temple only when the peak of the temple is fully built.
When Saraswati, who reached ayodhya, was asked by reporters about not going to the ram temple, he said, "Worship cannot be done in an incompletely constructed temple. It is incomplete. I will worship in the ram temple only when the peak of the temple is fully built." He performed special worship at Chineshwarnath temple and circumambulated the ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ramkot area in Ayodhya.
Shankaracharya started the nationwide 'Gau Dhwaj Sthapana Bharat Yatra' from Ayodhya. Saraswati called a religious assembly here in the presence of saints of Ayodhya. In this religious assembly, a call was made to implement the constitutional provisions and make a law to ensure unrestricted protection of the cow.
government should ban cow slaughter - Swami Avimukteshwaranand
Addressing the religious assembly, he said, "In our country, the cow is worshipped as Gau Mata. But it is unfortunate that the same country which worships the cow is also the second largest exporter of cow meat in the world." He said, "We urge the government to take steps in the respect of religion and cow and ban cow slaughter. Our journey will pass through different areas of the country, in which prominent Mahants and common people will join us."
