Why Jagadguru Rambhadracharya promised to Never Visit Any Shri Krishna Temple Again?

Jagadguru Rambhadracharya, who has been performing a nine-day-long Ramkatha in Jaipur, made a huge statement about the Krishna Janmabhoomi issue recently. He declared at the gathering that he would not visit any Krishna temple till the determination of the Krishna Janmabhoomi was made in Mathura.

This comment came while he addressed the crowds from the vyas gaddi (seat of knowledge), in which he said that he had planned to visit Jaipur's well-known Govind Dev Ji temple but decided against it because of his resolve concerning the pending decision on Krishna Janmabhoomi.

Nine-Day Ramkatha is currently taking place at Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur, led by Peethadheeshwar Rambhadracharya of Tulsi Peeth. He emphasized that having a great reverence for Govind Dev Ji, he had also spoken to the deity himself: "No matter how much you call me, I am not going to come and visit any Krishna temple in this lifetime until Krishna Janmabhoomi is taken here in Mathura." Finally, he mentioned Galta Gaddi in Jaipur city and desired that power for this seat should go solely to Ramandani, pointing towards his attachment towards sectarian influence in the land.

He has long ties with the Ram Mandir movement. When Shankaracharya criticised the incomplete construction of Ram Mandir earlier this year by saying that it is not his concern, Rambhadracharya came in defense to the inauguration stating that Shankaracharya had no connection with the movement. He himself took part enthusiastically in the moment of pride of the inauguration of the temple. His statements in Jaipur highlight his commitment to both the Ram Mandir and Krishna Janmabhoomi causes, and he is very particular in his intention to wait for the courts' decision in Mathura before making his way to any Krishna temple.
