Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s statement on Pran Pratistha.
Amid the political controversy over the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayedhya, spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has dismissed concerns about the muhurat (auspicious time) chosen for the ceremony. He urged people to celebrate with unity, faith and beyond political divisions. Sri Sri has dismissed various concerns regarding the Pran Pratistha ceremony. He emphasized that as long as the sanctum sanctorum, the inner sanctum, is complete, the consecration can actually proceed.
The sanctum sanctorum is complete – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar dismissed concerns about the muhurat (auspicious time) chosen for the ceremony and said that no muhurat is ever completely flawless. If you select any Muhurta, there will be some flaws in it. This is especially appropriate and auspicious. He said that this is a good time and it is happening in the right way by the right person. The sanctum sanctorum is complete, the temple can be sanctified and consecration can be done.
historical examples exist
Sri Sri cited several historical examples of deities being worshiped even before the surrounding temples were fully constructed. He mentioned the consecration of Shiva Linga by Lord Rama at Rameshwaram and the case of Kedarnath and Somnath. He highlighted that former President Dr. Rajendra Prasad had also performed the consecration at Somnath before the complete construction.
There will be controversy at such a great moment – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the ongoing controversy over consecration: Such a work, such a great moment, do you think, it will go without any controversy? There will be some controversy over that and some people thrive on controversy. They like it. Therefore it is not worth paying much attention to it. Of course, some people say that this is an incomplete temple. I would say to surrender your life. I asked him a question. See, when Shri Ram performed the Linga Pratistha and Prana Pratistha of Shiva in Rameshwaram. He had not done any construction before. He first performed Pran Pratistha, then came around the Shivalinga in the temple.
