If that is decided, then we will without any political party, the saints, great souls, gentlemen will construct a Ram temple at the spot of the Lord's birth. And by God's grace, we won't need their (politicians) money, people will give us. We will construct a temple, you please forgive us. Leave these discussion now," Shankaracharya of Dwarkapeeth Swaroopananda Saraswati stated. The Hindu Dharma Sansad has passed a resolution in this regard.
