The Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas, a trust set
up by the Dharmagurus, will undertake the construction of the temple.
Many Dharmagurus took the lead taken in setting up of the Nyas, and the
president is Mahant Parmahans Ramchandradas of Ayodhya. Those Dharmagurus,
who are not with the Nyas, also wish to see a temple being built at the
Shri Rama Janmabhoomi. This is because they accept that the site is holy
to the Hindus and that the Babri structure that stood there was a monument
of our slavery. On this core issue, there is unanimity amongst the Dharmagurus.
One has, therefore, to understand what
exactly is the objection of some of the Dharmagurus. Some say that the
VHP should not undertake the construction. Some say that the architecture
of the temple as proposed is not the correct one.
The construction project is the responsibility
of the Hindu samaj, and not just the Nyas. What the VHP has undertaken
to do is to take the programme that is chalked out by the Nyas to the
Hindu samaj, not only in India but also in all parts of the world. Each
and every programme that has been taken up by the Hindu samaj within the
context of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi, like the Sant Yatra, Shri Rama Jyoti
yatra, Shri Rama shila pujan, Shri Rama paduka pujan, Kar Seva, etc.,
have been the ones that were decided upon by the Dharmagurus at various
Dharma Sansads.
At the time of the Mahakumbh Mela at Prayag
in January 2001, the ninth Dharam Sansad was held, where one of the points
for discussions was set the date to being the construction of a temple
at Shri Rama Janmabhoomi. Initially the main Aakhadas decided not to take
part in the Sansad. However, when the resolution to set the date for the
construction of the temple was moved, representatives of most of these
Akhadas were present. This clearly shows that there is very large consensus
in the Hindu samaj to the plans of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas.
The construction of the mandir at the
Shri Rama Janmabhoomi is the task of the whole Hindu samaj, and not merely
of the Nyas. The Dharmagurus are the ones who have blessed the project.
The Nyas welcomes the participation of all in the programme. The views
which are expressed by any Dharmaguru who has expressed certain doubts
about the programme of construction will be given due consideration, since
they are all the protectors of the Hindu samaj. The Hindu samaj holds
all the Dharmagurus in high esteem.
