Statement of the founder of Delhi Kedarnath temple, may God give wisdom to those who oppose, ready to change the name
The Kedarnath temple to be built in Delhi is being opposed across the state. The protest has become more fierce because the Chief Minister of the state Pushkar Singh Dhami himself reached Delhi and laid the foundation stone for the construction work of Kedarnath temple. In view of the ever-increasing opposition across the state, the founder and national president of Shri Kedarnath Dham Delhi Trust, Surendra Rautela, held a press conference on Tuesday. During the press conference, Surendra Rautela said that not Kedarnath Dham but Kedarnath temple is being constructed in Delhi. Despite this, some people are trying to make it an issue.
Surendra Rautela said that Kedarnath temple is being constructed in Delhi, the name of which is being opposed. In such a situation, the word Dham will be removed from the name of the trust. Also, temples related to all the Jyotirlingas present across the country are built at many places.
Surendra Rautla told that a temple has been built in Mumbai in the name of Badrinath Dham situated in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand, but during that time no pilgrim priest or any person protested. Similarly, there is a Kedhareshwar temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Patan, Gujarat and there is also a place in Jammu and Kashmir which is known as Kedarnath.
Surendra Rautla said that the tradition of building temples has been going on since ancient times and it is a virtuous act. Building a temple in the name of any Jyotirlinga is not wrong in view of faith. In ancient times, the ruler of the state used to roam around his state and establish temples and shrines on the mountains, on the banks of rivers, in forests, on the last borders of the country.
Surendra said that he himself is a devotee of Bhola Nath and with his blessings, he will build the Kedarnath temple in Delhi, but Baba Kedarnath’s Dham will remain in Uttarakhand only, may Lord Shankar give wisdom to those who are protesting.
Founder and National President of Shri Kedarnath Dham Delhi Trust, Surendra Rautla said that he is also from Uttarakhand. In such a situation, if anyone is hurt by any of his words or if anyone feels that something wrong has happened, he is ready to take everyone along.
He also said that if there was personal benefit, then we would not have built the temple, but would have opened a shop somewhere and earned money, but this is a temple. He also said that those who are protesting, Lord Kedar will give them wisdom. He also said that if there is any mistake regarding the name of the Dham, then he is ready to change the name of the Dham and if the heart of any saint or devotee is hurt by this initiative of his, then he is ready to apologize.
