‘Waqf should prove that the land of Kumbh is his… I will give it back’, says Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati –

 

Mahakumbh 2025 is about to start in Prayagraj, the confluence of Uttar Pradesh. Before this faith gathering, Aaj Tak organized a Parliament of Religions in Prayagraj, in whose ‘Satya Vachan’ session, Jyotirmath’s Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati participated and during this he talked about the search for temples in the country, organization of Kumbh Mela, caste census in the country, Expressed his opinion on Waqf Board’s claim on the fair land.

‘RSS is not a Hindu organization’

In the ‘Satya Vajan’ session of Dharma Sansad, when Sanjay Sharma (Editor, National Bureau Aaj Tak) asked that excavation is going on at many places in the country. Some things are being lost and some are being gained. Mohan Bhagwat of RSS has said that now this system of searching should be stopped, for how long will we keep digging. What will you say on this? So he said, ‘The first thing is who he told. You are saying this to the Hindu society. Who can say that to the Hindu society who is dedicated to the Hindu society and works for the Hindu society. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has made it clear many times on many platforms that we are not a Hindu organization. We are a different kind of social organization. When it is not a Hindu organization then what right does it have to give instructions to Hindus? ,

Why should we listen to Mohan Bhagwat?

‘They have no rights at all. No matter what attempt someone makes, it is meaningless. Therefore, if there is a person from Hindus who understands Hindu sentiments then we will listen to him, but if there is someone who says that we are not a Hindu organization then why would we listen to him, that is why no one is listening to him.

Investigation is necessary to know the history
This Dig India campaign is going on, some people consider it right and some consider it wrong. What are your thoughts? He said, ‘Close the archeology department. Why do you get excavation done? You spend billions of rupees. Your scientists are doing excavations at many places. Why do they do it, they do it so that we can know the history. So our history is that of Hindus. If we demand excavation somewhere to know our history then why do you deny us that? When your government work can be right then how can our demand be wrong. Give permission for that also. Milk the milk and water the water. Why do you seek convenience on this, this is our question.

When he was asked that the matter had started from Ayodhya, after settling it from there, then came to Kashi and Mathura and now Sambhal, new things are coming to light every day. So how far and for how long will they go after it? He says, ‘It doesn’t matter how far we will go to know the truth about the atrocities that have happened to us. We need to know whether what has been spread is an illusion or the truth. We want peace in the entire country, so these misconceptions have to be removed.

Traces of temple found in Syria also

It is being said that even in places like Syria and Kazakhstan, traces of temples and Shivalingas are being found. On this he said, ‘Look, there is a lot of difference between finding a temple and demolishing a temple and changing its layout. If any natural event, earthquake or disaster occurs, those things become hidden, that is a different matter. If there is digging there, it will be found, but what is happening here is that the status (ecology) of a place was changed forcefully to humiliate us Hindus and to prove us weak. Both are different things. Politics should not be done by mixing both.

There is a caste system in Sanatan Dharma, there is a caste system, so what is the similarity and what is the difference in it, how to understand it?

On this Swamiji said that the caste system was created by God. It is said in Geeta and many Vedas that it is created by God. There are three gunas: Sat, Raja and Tamo. The one who has Sat guna is a Brahmin, the one who has Sat and Raja gunas is a Kshatriya. The one in whom Raja guna predominates but Tamo guna is also mixed is Vaishya and the one who has straight Tamo guna is Shudra, so due to three guna four varnas have arisen. God says Maya Srishtam…that means I have created everyone.

divided into castes for politics

‘These castes were formed because of work. We adopted a skill for livelihood and continued doing it in a traditional manner and hence we got recognized for doing the same work. We are moving forward with the same identity and belief that is caste. Varna is created by God and castes are created by us through our own work. We feel comfortable in it so we are not leaving it.

There should be no politics in caste census.

What are your views on the caste census that is being conducted? On this he says, ‘There is nothing wrong with the caste census. If the government wants to know how many castes there are in our country, what is their status, then it should do this and keep the data with itself. But when one says that he will conduct caste census for politics and the other says that he will not allow it to be done under any circumstances, then it is wrong. If you conduct census for politics, society will be broken but if you conduct census for welfare, it will be good. If it is done for a good reason then we will support but if it is done for politics then we are against.

He says, ‘Caste by birth or caste by deeds’ is an old debate. Political people debate on this but do not find a solution because there is benefit in this. See, our government believes in the concept of caste by birth and does not believe in caste by work. If you are born in a particular caste, you will get a certificate of that caste and you will be treated according to that caste.

He further says that if a girl from another caste comes to your place after getting married, then if she demands that now she will live in the same caste, then the Supreme Court says that you do not belong to that caste, you belong to the previous caste. We say that there are ending letters in our varna. Even within the Brahmin caste, there are Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. There is no problem with these four characters. Political people do all this to divide things.

A man asked me if I am low and I gave this answer

He said, ‘A person came to me and said that people tell us that we are at the bottom, so I said what is the proof. He said that if you were born from the mouth then you are high and if we were born from the feet then we are low. I was sitting at that time and after listening to them, I lay down and then asked, now tell me who is high and who is low. He will start laughing at this. I again said, listen, come in the morning, then I will do Shirshasana. Then ask us who is high and who is low. Then the head gets lowered.

According to Swami Avimukteshwaranand, we are Sanatan Dharma. Make a gold statue of anyone and cut off its legs, cut off the head and chop the torso… cut it into four pieces and go to the goldsmith. So will the goldsmith charge different prices for different parts of that idol? If there is a gold statue then its head will be priced the same and its legs will be priced the same. We all are children of God and Kumbh festival is meant to show this in a practical way.

If Kumbh land can be proved as Waqf then I will get it back.

Waqf is saying on the land of Kumbh Mela that it has been snatched from us, it is ours. On this Maharaj ji said, ‘They are saying that we snatched it, so first tell us who was holding it. Tell me the name of the person who has snatched it from you. It is said in our religion that if you do penance by sitting on someone’s land, then some of the fruits of that penance will also go to the owner of that land. Therefore, if you are getting some part of the good deeds done by us then what is your problem. If you have any proof then go to court.

‘If you don’t want to go to court then come to Param Dharma Parliament, if you are proved right then we will fight with our society to get it for you and if not proved then you will be put in jail on the charge of misleading the country.’

He said that I support that there should be a Sanatan Board. To look at the arrangements to manage the properties but it should not be government. It should also be formed and run by the religious leaders. We will not accept the government board.

The one who kills cow is not a Hindu

He further said that a resolution has been passed in our supreme religious parliament as to why the plight of cows is happening in the country and the blame for this is put on Hindus but no solution is found. The issue is diverted by saying that the slaughter houses are being run by Hindus. We have considered this and have concluded that anyone who is a Hindu will not commit cow slaughter. Whoever is doing this cannot be a Hindu. Therefore, this edict has been issued that such people should be considered separate from Hindu religion. By saying Hindu one will not become Hindu. Even a thug calls himself a saint.

On the arrangements of Kumbh, Swami ji said that such claims are made that the water of Ganga ji is not suitable for bathing here. If it is not acceptable then it should be investigated. We should know whether the Ganga, Yamuna and Triveni waters in which we have come to bathe are suitable for bathing as per scientific standards or not. If we have access to pure water suitable for bathing, then this is the biggest solution. We will not complain about any other arrangement.
