Jagadguru Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati on Tuesday appealed to the Supreme Court to take cognisance of media reports on the Puri Trinity’s Brahma Parivartan fiasco and do needful to uphold secrecy and sanctity of lords’ rituals.“Photos in the name of the Trinity’s Brahma have been posted in various sections of media besides occurring of inordinate delay in Brham Parivartan. It has become a matter of discussion globally. Secrecy and sanctity of the Trinity needs to be protected,” the Shankarachaya said and appealed to the Supreme Court and the High Court to take cognisance of media reports and protect sanctity of lords’ rituals.He said a judicial probe should be conducted into the irregularities to bring out truth.He said these to mediapersons here during his one-day tour to attend Shree Bishnu Mahayajna held at the Radhamadhav Temple here.
He reiterated that the Government should keep itself away from controlling the Jagannath Temple.“While other communities, shrines and religious places are being governed by their own community bodies, why Shree Jagannath Temple should not be controlled by a Hindu body, he wanted to know.This comment of Shankracharya has come at a time when both opposition parties, Congress and BJP, are taking to the streets over the Brahma Parivartan irregularities.The Shankracharya, who is dissatisfied over the State Government performance vis-à-vis Shreemandir management, even said the the Government has lost moral right of governing the State as the irregularities have become a laughable issue worldwide.
