Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi

Udupi, Jul 18: “A beautiful and elegant Ram Mandir will be built in Ayodhya in an estimated Rs 300 crore,” said Pejawar Shri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swamiji.

Pejawar Swamiji, one of the members of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, addressed media after taking part in Ayodhya Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust meeting. He said, “The Ram Mandir will be built at an expense of Rs 300 crore. Rs 1,000 crore rupees of expenditure is expected for the development of the 70-acre land where the Ram Mandir will be built.

“The committee also decided to collect this amount from various companies under their CSR grants. The committee also took decision to collect minimum of Rs 10 from each person and Rs 100 from each house to ensure that every individual and household will be taking part in the process of building the Ram Mandir.

“A nationwide drive will be held in this regard from November 25 to December 25. The dates of foundation stone laying will be announced at least 15 days prior to the grand event.

L&T Construction is given the task of the construction. A copper plate inscription will be buried 200 feet underneath the temple,” he said.

    Regarding the house of God, as our believe Mandir, masjid, or church
    He already closed the door for all to enter his holy houses
    Because of selflessness, hatred each other.

    Mandir masjid or church we can build later when we were all alive.

    In this pandemic situation currently our people need proper test and right treatments to save life.
    Please support each other with safety and stay safe all

    Hope world back to normal.

    Ideologies are different here. Its more important to have and go to a temple else things are incomplete. So instead they have a small temple or a pooja room at home.

    CSR funds are mainly aimed at schemes (1) eradicating hunger, poverty, malnutrition, (2) promoting education among women and differently abled, (3) for setting up of old age homes, day care centres, hostels for women, (4) for the benefit of war widows, (5) promoting rural sports etc. Latest inclusions in the list are Namami Gange, Covid 19, PM Cares.

    Schedule VII of Section 135 of CSR of course allows deployment of CSR funds for protection of national heritage, art and culture including restoration of buildings and sites of historical importance, but allowing CSR funds to build Ram temple would be misuse of the Section as it is still not proved that Ram Temple existed at the site and it is not a restoration activity but new construction.

    What do YOU know about the amount, Mr. Bangera ??

    Its pittance. Study the Mozarai Act, and then comment.

    There is a slab, say, below two lakhs income, a certain percentage, below 5 lakhs income, a certain percentage and above five lakhs a specific percentage. If you are thinking that the entire collection from temples is going to the government, please don't donate to the Hundi. Put in the Akshate plate, all will be taken by the Pujari. Now, try to find out how much wealth the temple pujaris have accumulated. There was a theft in one of the priest's residence, entire district was shocked to see the riches hoarded at that place.

    To donate, or not, is your wish. Nobody is forcing you. If you are donating to seek forgiveness to your guilt, please don't complain about where the collections go. Once given, your power over it is NIL.

    However, the rule does not apply to other religious institutions. They MUST pay tax, as per normal tax slab. They don't have below this much and above this much.

    I think think this revered priest is totally oblivious of the surroundings or is least bothered about his fellowmen?
    At this juncture when nearly 14 crore people are rendered jobless & hunger is knocking on the doors of poor & middle class, how can he demand money from each person/family! Today, for many people 100₹ =1000₹ or more!
    The poor tribals of Maharashtra who have lost their jobs from brick kilns & other places are surviving on some edible leaves collected from the jungle; young children are reduced to bones due to hunger & malnutrition; the story will unfold further in the coming months as the loan moratorium ends & lender's recovery agent goons come knocking at the door of debtors with court notices! If a person could not pay his monthly EMIs on time, how do you expect him to pay 4months EMIs+ interest together, now that he has become penniless!!
    God save this country!!

    And as for Ye sluggards.. Wake up! How long will you lie in slumber? Till our country is destroyed and turned to rubble?

    People are ending lives for lack of jobs, food, decent living etc. People are dying of Covid for lack of rooms, ventilators, and proper health facilities. Covid patients are being denied rooms and are collapsing on the streets and you want to collect funds for Temple. Do you think Lord Ram would be pleased to see the suffering and pain of his own people.

    We all know that PMCare Fund is diverted to avenues like Ram Temple, RSS activities, Horse Trading, Buying MLAs, toppling opposition govts etc. Why else is there no auditing?

    And now you want to fleece pvt companies. Companies are under loss, my dear folks. Economy is in the doldrums. Companies cannot offer salaries to their employees and are terminating staff. Small time cos are pulling down shutters.

    Wake up! Wake up O People!

    Ram janmabhoomi was destroyed by the barbaric Moghul emperor Babar, in 1528.... This led to emotional unrest, claiming countless lives... Finally we welcome the creation of a stupendous, beautiful monument, at the birthplace of lord Ram !!! No individual or any sections of our society, should cast any aspirations, on this sacred birthplace.... When enormous volumes, of revenue were utilized for creating religious structures for other faiths, then there should not be any controversies or hatred, towards the temple in Ayodhya !!!!

    Following are some references from Bhagavat Gita, Yajur Veda, Rig Veda and a few Upanishads that forbid worshiping idols and images of God.

    - Bhagavat Gita 7-[19-21]:
    All those who do idol worship, All those who worship demigods are materialistic people.

    - Yajur Veda 32:3:
    na tasya pratima asti
    There is no image of Him.
    God is formless and bodiless

    - Yajur Veda 40:8:
    shudhama poapvidham
    He is bodyless and pure.
    All those who worship the uncreated things, they are in darkness, and you'll enter more into darkness if you worship the created things.

    - Yajur Veda 40:9:
    Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste
    They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements (Air, Water, Fire, etc.) They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.)

    - Rig Veda, Vol.6,45:16:
    There is only One God, worship Him.

    - Rig Veda, Vol.8,1:1:
    All Praise are to Him alone

    - Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1:
    Ekam evadvitiyam
    He is One only without a second.

    - Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19:
    Na tasya pratima asti
    There is no likeness of Him.

    - Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20:
    Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam.
    His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye.

    - Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9:
    Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah.
    Of Him there are neither parents nor lord

    We get to read this on various search engines :

    Quote
    the money, collected over 30 years, has not been accounted for in any legitimate records. Around Rs 600 crore had been collected in the late 1980s and had been deposited into a Swiss bank account.
    Unquote

    If 600 Crores is available, why ask people to collect 300 Crores ? Well, if rich people can put together 500 Crores in Mumbai to pull down Rajasthan government, I am sure they can easily contribute to build Ram Mandir too ? Can't it ? Why ask poor people ?

    Or, is a certain section of our society only eyeing at what Gandhi family owns ? Why doesn't it see within its own coffers too ?

    So, anybody is free to collect money to build a Mandir, Gurudwara, Mosque, Church, no matter what is the volume but not account it and pay tax on that income ? That money becomes his own ? Neither governments' nor public's ? He can store it anywhere ? Even in Swiss Bank ?

    In which part of India are you living man ? Where did you do your schooling ?

    One more thing - quote/unquote is essential because it's not my fabrication and I've not kept it as a secret ast to where it's available. I made it available to you because you better read at least a small excerpt because otherwise you are too blind to have a look at it because it refers to YOUR clan. If it was about a specific community you would have gone 'gaa... gaaa...' about it.
