Government's list of trust members could not get any better: Swami Paramhansa Das

Peethadheeshwar Swami Paramhansa Das from Ayodhya has said that the central government's list of members could not get any better.

Talking to ETV Bharat, Das said: "The list of trust members prepared by the central government is highly apt."

"The members have been selected regardless of which section of the Hindu religion they belong to," he added.

He further asserted that the government has tried to get rid of prejudices regarding class and sections and have also created a larger and better circle of people for this cause.

Das also wished for RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to be made the head of the trust.

"I really wish that RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat is made the head of the Ram Temple Trust. But, keeping my personal wish aside, Parasaran is the best person to head the trust," he asserted.

New Delhi: Shree Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust mandated by the central government to complete the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, in its first meeting is set to finalise the 'muhurat' for beginning the construction, and a transparent mode for collection of funds apart from discussing future course of action.

The temple will have its first meeting on February 19 in the national capital with several key decisions to be made on its agenda.

The trust is expected to broadly finalise the timeline for the construction schedule of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple. The members would also be discussing the way in which funds need to be generated for the same, informed a source.

Sources stated that the members of the trust would debate on how donations for the construction of temple should be collected through common people, with the focus being on keeping the process transparent and controversy-free.

"The members are also likely to finalise the correct 'muhurat' for laying of the foundation stone and a timeline for completion of the temple along with the suitable placement of idol of Ram Lalla as the construction work progresses," stated the source.

They further added that "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already asked for time-bound addressing of these issues."

The Ram Janmabhoomi Trust was formed last month by the central government after the supreme court of India's November 9, 2019 directive on this issue.

Construction of a grand Ram temple at the Ayodhya Janmabhoomi site has been a promise of the Bharatiya Janata Party ever since its inception and has been highlighted in each of its electoral manifestos. The election for the post of various office bearers of the trust is also likely to take place on the same day.

The trust notified by the government has its office in Delhi's Greater Kailash, which is also the address of advocate K Parasaran, who had represented Ram Lalla in the decade-old dispute.

The Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust has seven members, five nominated members and three trustees. The trust was formed in adherence to the Supreme Court verdict on the Ayodhya dispute in November last year.

Senior lawyer c has been named the head of the Trust and its other members include Jagatguru Shankracharya, Jyothish Peethadheeshwar Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj from Allahabad, Jagatguru Madhavacharya Swami Vishwa Prasannatheerth Ji Maharaj, Pejawar Math in Udupi, Yugpurush Paramanand Ji Maharaj from Haridwar, Swami Govinddev Giri Ji Maharaj from Pune and Vimlendra Mohan Pratap Mishra from Ayodhya.
