Now know the complete purpose for this dispute

Why Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has not talked about it but?
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of astrology bench informed Divya Bhaskar- Narendra Modi is the president of Somnath Temple Trust. Amit Shah and LK Advani are additionally related to the belief. Ravi Shankar retains assembly all of them. Then why Ravi Shankar has not talked to him about this but? Millions of everlasting devotees come to see Somnath and this can be a matter of religion.
He additional said- If you’ve gotten items of Shivling, then what’s put in in the Somnath temple can’t be known as a full Shivling. There is worship day by day. So you imply that incomplete Shivling is worshiped. How can this be doable? If you say that this can be a half of the earlier Shivling. Now that the new Shivling is put in, the half of the earlier Shivling has no that means.
This will create division in religion
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati additional said- Now the Shivling which is established there as Jyotirlinga is the similar Jyotirlinga. Only that can be worshiped. Worshiping another person is a hurt to hurt religion. This is the division of religion. If a brand new temple is put in at one other place, some individuals will contemplate it as Somnath and begin worshiping there too. So you (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) try to disrupt our central religion, so it has no that means. There is not any point out of this in the scriptures. Jyotirlinga manifests itself. But we don’t see, so for our comfort, we set up Shivling as an emblem and worship it. A Shivling is put in in Somnath. It is being worshiped. Therefore, the worship of Somnath Jyotirlinga is evident. Now there isn’t a want so as to add one thing new to it.
