“228 Kgs of Gold Missing from Kedarnath Temple,” claims Swami Avimukteshwaranand

GG News Bureau
Kedarnath, 15th July. Swami Avimukteshwaranand, the Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, claimed on Monday that 228 kilograms of gold is missing from the Kedarnath temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva located in the Garhwal Himalayan range of Uttarakhand.

“There is a gold scam in Kedarnath, why is that issue not raised? After doing a scam there, now Kedarnath will be built in Delhi? And then there will be another scam. 228 kgs of gold is missing from Kedarnath. No inquiry has started. Who is responsible for this? Now, they are saying they will build a Kedarnath in Delhi, this cannot happen,” he asserted.

Swami Avimukteshwaranand’s remarks come amid ongoing protests over the construction of another Kedarnath Temple in Delhi. Priests at the Kedarnath temple have expressed their opposition to the Delhi project. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami participated in the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new temple in Delhi on July 10.

Thackeray Has Been Deceived: Swami Avimukteshwaranand
Swami Avimukteshwaranand, who met Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday, stated that Thackeray had been deceived and predicted that he would become Maharashtra Chief Minister again.

“All of us are followers of Sanatana Dharma. We have a definition of ‘Paap’ and ‘Punya’. The biggest sin is betrayal. Uddhav Thackeray has been deceived. I told him that all of us were pained by the betrayal he had to face. Our pain will not be relieved until he becomes the CM of Maharashtra again,” he said.

The priest further commented that a person who commits deceit cannot be considered a Hindu.

“The one who bears it is a Hindu. The people of Maharashtra are pained by it and it was also visible in the elections. This is also a disrespect to the people who choose their leader. It is wrong to break a government in between and insult the public mandate,” he added.
