Karnataka: Sringeri Math denounces false claims on Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir ahead of the pran-pratishtha ceremony
 
Sringeri Sharada Peetham, in an official announcement on January 8, 2024, dispels false information circulating on social media
regarding the Ayodhya Mandir's pran-pratishtha. The statement from the renowned institution urges devotees to rely on official
channels for accurate updates and dismisses ill-intentioned propaganda
 
In a significant announcement, Sri Sri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasamsthanam Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri,
has debunked false information circulating on social media regarding the pran-pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of the
Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya. The official statement, posted on January 8, 2024, by Sringeri Math’s official handle
on their website (www.sringeri.net) and social media platforms, addresses the misleading claims made by certain ill-wishers
of the Hindu Dharma.
 
The Sringeri Math joyfully announced that the pran-pratishtha for the newly constructed mandir dedicated to Bhagawan Sri Rama
in Ayodhya is scheduled to take place on Pushya Shukla Dwadashi, which falls on January 22, 2024. This event marks the
culmination of a five-century-long struggle and is a momentous occasion for all Astikas, followers of the Hindu faith.
 
The official statement emphasises the harmony and enthusiasm with which Astikas have been preparing for this sacred ceremony.
However, it sheds light on a false post circulating on social media platforms that wrongly attributes statements to the
Sringeri Shankaracharya, His Holiness Paramapujya Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji. The post,
using the name of “www.dainikjagran.com,” claims that the Sringeri Shankaracharya expressed displeasure over the
pran-pratishtha, causing confusion among the devotees.
 
The Sringeri Math categorically denies any such communication from the Sringeri Shankaracharya regarding disapproval of the
Ayodhya mandir’s pran-prathishtha. The Math labels the circulating information as false propaganda by individuals with ill
intentions toward the Hindu Dharma. Astikas are earnestly urged to dismiss such misleading claims and rely only on information
officially released by Sringeri Sharada Peetham through its authorised channels.
