The Supreme Court in India, while deciding the temple-mosque dispute in Ayodhya, handed over the disputed site to Ramlala and asked the government to form a trust within three months to build the temple, but now in various organizations of monks and saints this Controversy has ensued over joining the trust.

This dispute has reached such a level that the sadhus are not only uttering abuses against their opponents, but also a violent conflict between two groups.

His supporters attacked the saint Paramhansandas of the ascetic camp after his alleged indecent remarks on Mahant Nritya Gopaldas of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas and only after police arrived in large numbers, Paramhansadas could be rescued from there.

At the same time, Paramhansadas has been expelled by the ascetic camp saying that his conduct was indecent and that he will be able to return to the camp only when he changes his behavior.

But it is not just these two parties in this dispute, but also three different trusts already running in the temple construction, besides the other influential saints living in Ayodhya.

In fact, despite the Ayodhya dispute being in court, three trusts were active for the last several years to build a grand temple of Ramlala Virajaman.

The oldest of these trusts is the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas, which was formed in 1985 under the supervision of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and this trust has been working in stone carving for temple construction in Karsevakapuram for the last several years.

The second trust is the Ramalaya Trust which was formed in the year 1995 after the Babri Masjid was demolished and the role of the then Prime Minister of India PV Narasimha Rao is also said to be behind it.

While the third trust is Sri Ram Janmabhoomi temple construction trust formed under the leadership of Janmayjay Sharan, Mahant of Jankighat big place.

All these three trusts are now saying that when the trust already exists for the construction of the temple, then why does the government need to form another trust? All these trusts are pushing for the creation of a temple construction trust under his leadership.

The VHP-led Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas is headed by Mahant Nritya Gopal Das of Maniramdas Cantonment.

The trust, which has collected crores of rupees for the construction of the temple during the Ram Mandir movement, is also with this trust.

Since the VHP was the leader of the movement for the construction of the temple, after the decision, the VHP leader and his associated Dharmacharya are claiming to build the temple through this trust and are campaigning for it.

Whereas the Ramalaya Trust was formed in the year 1995 in the presence of 25 Dharmacharyas including Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati of Dwarka Peeth to construct the Ram Temple at Ramjanmabhoomi in Ayodhya. Dharmacharya Swami Bharati of Sringeripeeth was also involved in its formation.

After the Supreme Court's decision Swami Avimukteshwaranand, secretary of the Ramalaya Trust, claimed to have the legal right to build the temple. For this, he also held a press conference in Delhi last week.

Swami Avimukteshwarananda said, "After the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, the Ramalaya Trust has been built for the purpose of temple construction. The temple should be built only through religious leaders. For this we do not need any government help and intervention. We can also go to court if the government interferes in this. ''

The claim of the Ramalaya Trust is the same as that of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas. Both say that they should be entrusted with the task of building the temple and there is no need to create a new trust.

Ramalaya Trust argues that they were formed after the demolition of Babri Masjid and trusts made before it are illegal whereas VHP and Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas say that they have fought the court battle for the construction of the temple, so they also have the right to build the temple.

Whereas Nirmohi Akhara, who was the main party in this dispute, says that whatever new trust is formed, it should have an important role in it. The role of the Nirmohi Akhara has also been talked about by the Supreme Court in its decision.

At the same time, Janmejaya Sharan, president of Sriram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Trust, says, "The Supreme Court has authorized the central government to form a trust, so it is up to the central government to create a new trust that will build the temple. If this work is given to Vishwa Hindu Parishad alone then we will oppose it. Everyone should focus only on the construction of the temple, except for personal interests. The government should form a new trust by involving representatives from all the trusts and it should be monitored by the government.''

Apart from all this, Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Ramlala Virajmana, says that the trust should be constituted as per the directions of the Supreme Court and not to be given to any old trust.

According to him, "The Supreme Court has ordered the central government to form a trust. Under this order a new trust should be created. The trusts already built in the name of construction of Ram temple, they too should hand over their assets and funds collected for this to this government trust. The government should force those who do not do so.''

Satyendra Das does not take anyone's name, but Mahanta Dinendra Das of Nirmohi Akhara directly says that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad should hand over the bricks, stones and even cash collected in the name of temple construction.

But the Vishwa Hindu Parishad will hand it over so easily, it does not appear.

VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma says that the central government cannot ignore his work.

Sharad Sharma says, "We have been engaged in temple construction for years, our organization has led this movement. We have got the support and cooperation of all Hindus of the country and abroad. I am confident that Prime Minister Modi will consult us.

The viral audio clip of a conversation between two Mahants in the ongoing controversy over the trust to be built for the temple, has added fuel to the fire.

In an audio clip circulating among the saint communities in Ayodhya, VHP leader and former BJP MP Ram Vilas Vedanti, who was active in the Ram temple movement, is saying that he wants to become the head of the temple trust.

Although we do not confirm this audio clip, but this clip has caused quite a stir among the saints of Ayodhya.

The audio clip is reportedly a conversation between Ram Vilas Vedanti and Mahant Paramhansadas, the head of the ascetic cantonment.

In the same audio clip, Mahant Paramhansadas allegedly uses indecent words for Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, head of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas and annoyed with this, the Sadhus, supporters of Nritya Gopal Das, attacked his house.

Nritya Gopal Das has also demanded the inclusion of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the trust and Akhara Parishad President Mahant Narendra Giri has also supported his demand while in this audio clip Ramvilas Vedanti and Paramhansadas have opposed the inclusion of Yogi Adityanath as they come from the Nath sect and not from Ramanand sect.

Although Ram Vilas Vedanti flatly denies this conversation, while Paramhansadas is not speaking on the issue, Paramhansadasa is making many serious allegations against Mahant Nritya Gopaldas.

Mahendra Tripathi, a local journalist who has been closely observing the temple movement in Ayodhya for years, says, "The Supreme Court may have tried to end the dispute between Hindus and Muslims, but now the dispute between monks and saints in Ayodhya and Conflicts will increase. It was already feared that there would be a mutual confrontation between the Hinduist organizations to be a part of the trust, but now the manner in which the sting operation and verbal attacks on each other are going on, this dispute is expected to increase. There are many other saints who have been waiting for this decision for a long time, now they will also demand that they too be included in the trust.''
