Ram Mandir: Will Early Pratiṣṭhā Bring Woes? Shankaracharya's Refusal & Unfinished Temples

In this article, we discuss the issue of the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. We explore the concerns that are associated with this issue and also shed light on the reasons for Shankaracharya's decision.

Incomplete Temple Consecration: A Controversy

The construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is a historic event. It is an important achievement for the Hindu faith. However, some people believe that consecrating the incomplete temple will bring disaster.

These people argue that consecration is an important religious ritual. It is the final stage in the construction of any temple. In this ritual, the idols of the temple's deity or goddess are installed in the temple. This ritual is supposed to be performed according to the scriptures.

These people believe that consecrating the incomplete temple will leave the ritual incomplete. This could anger the deity or goddess. It could also increase the influence of demonic forces.

Some people also believe that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is rushing the construction of the Ram Mandir for the elections. They believe that Modi wants the construction of the Ram Mandir to be completed during his term. This would help him to consolidate his hold on the Hindu vote bank.

These people believe that Modi's haste has increased the likelihood of the incomplete temple being consecrated. This could bring disaster.

Are there historical examples of consecration ceremonies occurring in temples that were not yet fully constructed?

Yes, there are some examples. For example, in the 18th century, a temple was being built in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. Before the temple was completed, the temple priests decided to perform consecration. This decision was opposed by some people, but the priests refused to be dissuaded.

Similarly, in the 19th century, a temple was being built in the Mysore district of Karnataka. Before the temple was completed, the idol of the temple's deity was installed in the temple. However, the remaining construction was still ongoing.

Why did Guru Shankaracharya refuse to go to Ayodhya?

All four Shankaracharyas have supported the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. However, they are opposed to consecrating the incomplete temple.

Guru Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati has refused to go to Ayodhya. He says that consecrating the incomplete temple is inappropriate. He said that there is a risk of disaster.

Conclusion

Whether or not consecrating an incomplete temple will bring disaster is a religious matter. There is no scientific evidence on this subject. Therefore, no definitive answer can be given.

However, from a religious perspective, some things are worth considering.

Consecration is an important religious ritual. It is supposed to be performed according to the scriptures.

Consecrating an incomplete temple will leave the ritual incomplete. This could anger the deity or goddess.

The influence of demonic forces could increase.

Taking these things into account, it can be said that there is a possibility of disaster coming from consecrating an incomplete temple. However, this is only a possibility. It is not certain that disaster will come.

Guru Shankaracharya's decision to oppose the consecration of an incomplete temple can also be understood. He is a religious person and he understands the importance of religious rituals. He wants consecration to be performed according to the scriptures.
