Sai statue removed from temple in Varanasi Ajay Sharma interview | Get the idols of Sai removed from all the temples of Kashi: Ajay Sharma said – If I take a resolution, no matter how much opposition there is, I will not back down; Here only Shiva family is revered – Varanasi News

Question: When was the campaign to remove the idols of Sai started in Kashi? answer: Kashi is the city of Lord Shiva and Sai has no work here. Only Shiva family is worshipable here. The resolution to remove the idols of Sai was taken two years ago. This campaign was started only then. It took so much time to make people aware. Sai idols will be removed from all the temples of Kashi Khand. If someone wants to do puja then he should do it at home or build a separate temple of Sai.

We did not like seeing the idols of Sai sitting in the blessing posture in the temple of our deity. Seeing this, we decided to remove them. People worshiped in their homes. We have no opposition to it.

The idol of Sai Baba was removed from Trimbakeshwar temple on Tuesday morning.

Question: What is the basis for worshiping Gods and Goddesses in Kashi? answer: Kashi is the basis of everything. What is worshiped in Kashi is described in the Kashi section. There is no mention of Sai Puja anywhere in the Kashi section. In Bhagwat Geeta, Lord Krishna clearly said that whoever worships whomever he worships, he gets it. If you worship ancestors, you will attain ancestors and if you worship ghosts, you will attain ghosts.

Sai Puja is not mentioned anywhere in the Kashi section. In Kashi Khand, Lord Narayan has given the message that among all the pilgrimages in Kashi, among all the gods, only Mahadev and Shiva family are worshipped. Apart from these, no one can be worshipped, otherwise you will be considered inflexible.

The Sai idol installed in some temples of the city was wrapped in cloth.

Question: People have faith in Sai and you are opposing it? answer: There are 33 crore Gods and Goddesses in Kashi. With the arrival of Lord Shiva, he also resides here. What is the use of worshiping Sai in such temples? We are not opposing anyone’s faith. If those who believe in Sanatan like, then worship Sai at home.

Question: Opposition to this campaign is also coming forward, what to do now? answer: We have started a campaign to free the Shiva-Ganesh temples in Kashi from Sai. There will be no going back from this now. I will continue running this campaign. We will wake up people and people will wake up. Now, if anyone who is a traitor to Shiva opposes me, he will be guilty of sin. Bhairav ​​has awakened and will complete the mission.

Ajay Sharma said- A list of 60 statues has been made, they have to be removed with mutual consent.

Question: Did you take advice from the people of Kashi or run the campaign directly? answer: We have met many such people who are protesting today. We have been explaining to them for two years. This has also had an impact. People’s minds have changed in many homes. People are also removing idols and photos from their homes. The mother of one of our friends has removed the idol today.

Question: Where did the inspiration to remove Sai idol from temples come from? answer: Brahmalin Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati had declared that the tomb is found in front of the idol of Sai, that is why he is Chand Miya. There was also opposition to writing Om Sai Ram in his temple. Tulsi, Kabir, Ravidas also lived in Kashi but they did not get their worship done. Sanatan Rakshak Dal is taking forward Shankaracharya’s campaign.

It was clarified that there is no ghost worship in Kashi, hence there is no need of Chand Miyan in Kashi. It was from him that I got inspiration for this and I will keep removing the idols as much as I can. All the residents of Kashi are devout and eternally righteous, we are removing the statues by chanting Jaga Bhairav.

By Tuesday evening, the idols had been removed from 14 temples.

Question: How many statues have been removed so far and what is the target now? answer: With the darshan of Kashi Vishwanath, we have started a campaign to remove Sai idols. Till now, a total of 14 idols including 11 major temples of the city have been removed. Now Purushottam month is coming, in this month Purushottam will be removed from the temple. The next target will be to remove the idol from Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga Temple and Surajkund Temple. Along with this, the target is to remove the idols from Pitrikunda, Agastya Temple, Bhuteshwar Temple with mutual consent. Till now there is a list of 60 idols.

Question: Politicians commented and also called you party motivated? answer: Political parties have no religion and we do not get trapped in any party. Our devout Kashi residents are our inspiration. We were the first to protest against the demolition of religious places. I am only a voter of Kashi, not a leader. People themselves are getting inspired in Kashi. When you see an idol in a temple, you are asking, why is Sai sitting above Durga ji, Hanuman ji, Lord Shiva, Lord Ram, Ganesh and Annapurna ji?
