Spiritual Guru Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
There is an uproar over the Laddu Prasadam controversy of the famous Tirupati Venkateswara temple. Amidst the controversy, the reaction of spiritual guru and founder of Isha Foundation Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has come to the fore. He said that finding beef fat in the temple’s ‘prasadam’ is extremely disgusting. He said that temples should be run by devotees, not the government and administration. He said that where there is no devotion, there will be no purity.
“Consumption of beef in temple prasad by devotees is extremely disgusting. That is why temples should be run by devotees and not by government administration. Where there is no devotion, there is no purity. Now the time has come that Hindu temples should be run by devout Hindus and not by government administration,” Sadhguru wrote on the social media platform ‘X’.
Sadhguru’s response
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has also expressed his displeasure
Spiritual guru and Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar also gave a statement on the Tirupati Laddu controversy. He said that we have read in history books how the Sepoy Mutiny took place in 1857. And now we see how deeply the sentiments of Hindus are hurt by this Laddu. This is something that cannot be forgiven. He said that this is malicious and it is the height of greed of those who are involved in this process, so they should be severely punished. All their property should be confiscated and they should be put in jail. Whoever is even remotely involved in this process. We need to check not just Laddu but every food product.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar further said, what about the ghee available in the market? Is anybody checking what they are putting in it? All those who adulterate food and label it as vegetarian and put any kind of non-vegetarian ingredients in it should be punished very severely. For temple management we need to see that it is under the supervision of saints, swamis and spiritual gurus. We need to make a committee of spiritual gurus, both North and South should oversee them. There should be a person from the government also, but he has to play a small role. But the major decisions, supervision and everything should be done by religious boards like SGPC, like Muslim body, like Christian body.
