Countering Misinformation
Disputing rumours of discord among the many high 4 non secular leaders of Sanatan Hindu Dharma, also referred to as ‘Shankaracharyas’, Saraswati emphasised, “Who said that all the four Shankaracharyas disagreed on the ceremony? It is false.” These 4 Shankaracharyas head the primary mutts in Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Odisha, and Karnataka, based by the eighth-century seer Adi Shankara.
VHP’s Perspective
Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) working president Alok Kumar clarified that two of the 4 Shankaracharyas had “openly welcomed” the upcoming consecration ceremony on the Ram temple. While none are anticipated to be current on the grand occasion, they categorical their intention to go to the Ram temple “as per their comfort later.” Jyotirpeeth Sankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati opined, “The consecration ceremony at the Ram temple at this stage is not right as its construction is yet to be completed.”
Ram Temple ‘Pran Prathishtha’ Approaches
Ayodhya is gearing up for the “pran pratishtha” ceremony on the temple scheduled for January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to attend. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, accountable for the Ram Mandir, introduced that the consecration ceremony will likely be preceded by a seven-day ritual beginning on January 16.
Preparation On For Temple Ceremony
The program card for the pran pratishtha includes a silhouette of the temple and describes the occasion as “Ceremony Special” or “Karyakram Vishesh” in Hindi. The auspicious time, or “shubh muhurt” for the “Pran Pratishtha” is about for 12.20 pm on Monday, January 22, 2024.
Distinguished Guests Invited

Notable invitees embody cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, Bollywood famous person Amitabh Bachchan, and industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. Additionally, the belief has invited 4,000 seers from varied elements of the nation.
