10 January, 2024

This article is based on interview of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Svami Nischalananada Sarasvatiji Maharaj, The Puri Shankarachraya of Puri, Govardhan Math, with News Tak. The praan pratishtha of Bhagavan Ram at Ayodhya and the fake Shankaracharya were discussed.

The key highlights have been given below:

Praan Pratishtha at Ram Mandir

Is there anger pertaining to the praan pratishtha at Ram Mandir?

Pujyapad says that he does not have His loyalties towards any political party. His vision is broad and He does not get angry. There is no meaning in such emotions, He explains. When a fire is created, the source of it, itself burns. We must be angry towards anger itself, since anger destroys its very own source. There is no reason for Him to be angry. Those who clash with Him, shall be destroyed.

Invitation to Praan Pratishtha

The invitation has been received by Pujyapad, mentioning that He can go with one person.

His heart is not such that He shall be elated on receiving the invitation or angered if He has not been invited. He has great patience, with the blessings of Bhagavan.

Pujyapad mentions that He is not dissatisfied with the invitation but with the program itself.

The pratishtha of Ramji has to be done as per shastras and since that is not being followed, it is not appropriate for Him to attend it.

There are many considerations as per shastras – the mahurat has to be considered, who must touch the murti and who must not is important and similarly, who should do the pratishtha and who should not.

Even if Modiji was to do the pratishtha two years later from now (after the mandir was fully constructed), then also, Pujyapad would have raised the question of the importance of shastric methodology in the touching of the murti.

Objection to shastras not being followed & harmful results

In the Skand Puran it is written that the tej or energy of devata enters the pratrimas (murtis) of Bhagavan, (which are called archa-vigraha in the Srimad Bhagavat), when the praishtha is done as per the prescribed vidhi or methodology.

If the pratishtha is done as per the vidhi but the vidhi is not followed further, in the puja, arti etc, again, the tej of the devata vanishes. (it is like the example of the rules to follow with reference to good conductors and bad conductors for the use of electricity. The methods and prohibitions have no kind of biases. These limits are not put due to ignorance, likes or dislikes. The intention is for the user of electricity to benefit from it and not be harmed. – Read more)

When the tej of devi-devata leaves the pratima of Bhagavan then dakini, shakini, boot-pret, pisaach, (negative and dark energies) establish themselves in the pratima and create havoc and destruction in the entire region.

Hence, murti pratishtha is not something to play or tamper with. The system is based on shastras and has great importance from the point of view of philosophy (darshan), practicality (vyahavaar) and science (vigyaan). The energy of the omnipresent Paramatma is invoked via praan pratishtha in the murti of Bhagavan.

If the correct methods are followed for the praan pratishtha, etc, the tej of Bhagavan will rise and will be beneficial to all. Else, it shall create an undesirable explosion.

Offering Ram Mandir to Ramananda Sampradaya

Champat Rai says that the temple must be offered to Ramananda Sampradaya. On being asked to give His thoughts, Pujyapad Puri Shakaracharyaji questions if Ramji came first or Ramanandacharya? He also said that since the work related to Ram Mandir is not happening as per shastras, He shall not engage on the matter.

Suggestions on Ram Mandir

Pujyapad mentioned that His suggestions have not been taken by the Ram Mandir Trust on any matter. He said that Modiji and Yogiji wish to keep the power of dharmik matters also in their own hands and hence, why would they want His suggestions? They did not ask for any suggestions.

Even the Supreme Court has honoured decisions of Pujyapad in the dharmik sphere. All the points given by the Shankaracharya were taken down by the court. Pujyapad is knowledgeable about the legalities too and many have taken His advice, also when He was not in this position of the Shankaracharya. Now, about 150 several advocates and judges have taken guidance and listen to His discourses on Nyaya.

Fake Shankaracharya

The Prime Minister is not fake, the Chief Minister is not fake, Governors are not fake, the President is not fake. Is the position of the Shankaracharya inferior to them, questions Pujyapad? The position of the Shankaracharya is meant to rule over the rulers. Yet, when in independent Bharat, a terrorist is being promoted around as a “Shankaracharya”, it is proven that the existence and principles of the nation are being played with. To attempt to destroy the ancient lineage or parampara of Vyaspeeth seems to be the ploy here. The one who tries to clash with Vyaspeeth, is certainly destroyed.

Brief background of fake Shankaracharya

It was Narshima Rao of the INC who made this terrorist (fake Shankaracharya) stand against Pujyapad. Samajwadi Party, etc, nourished him, and now Modi and Yogi are making him travel across the country and internationally as the “Shankaracharya of Puri”. All parties hence, seem to be supporting him – from Congress to BJP. They are all the same.

Ultimately, this will lead to destruction and then, the country shall be established in a way it must exist. Those who clash with Vyaspeeth are destroyed.

If someone tries to punch the Himalayas, his fist is broken, one who attacks the sky gets exhausted without any result. Hence, anyone clashing with us will cause his own destruction and it’s not appropriate, says Pujyapad.

Warning to Modiji and Yogiji

There are special powers in us (Shankaracharyas). The seat of the Shankaracharya is not an elected one. No one can disturb our position. If someone tries to play with the seat or gaddi, no matter how powerful, he will not stay secure. Pujyapad does not instigate the public, but His words are honoured by people.

He says we have the support of people, shastras and sadhus. Devi-devatas and rishi munis are with us. We are strong in all ways, and must not be considered weak. Whatever is being done now, will cause degradation of the nation for sure.

Modiji and Yogiji are well known to Puri Shankaracharyaji. When Modiji was in power in Gujarat, he had prevented the arrest of this terrorist. He has been clashing with us since the very start. He came for darshan before taking his position and took the blessing that he must make minimum mistakes. Now he is making a huge mistake and clashing with the one who blessed him to make minimum mistakes. Is it foolish or not? Modi learns from Him, uses His words also but clashes with Him.

This interview is a very crucial one. Would urge all who understand Hindi, to listen to it carefully.
