Quotes
Govind Dev Giri
Treasurer of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust
“According to Sanatan Dharma, the purification and the atonement yagya holds no value unless those actually responsible for the embezzlement of donations at the temple themselves participate and seek forgiveness. Otherwise, this entire exercise will eventually prove to be futile and entirely cosmetic, not cosmic.”

“The buddhi-shuddhi yagya has proven what we have been saying since the beginning that something hugely wrong has taken place in Ayodhya. I wish Lord Ram gives them the wisdom to realise their sins and atone for their mistakes.”
