Haridwar : Dwaraka-Sharda Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati has said that the entry of women in the Shani Shingnapur temple will lead to crimes such as rapes against them.
Women should not have entered the sanctum sanctorum of the Shani Shingnapur temple as it will bring bad luck to them, the 94-year-old seer said.
Expressing his displeasure on the Shani temple trust’s recent decision to lift a 400-year-old ban on women’s entry in the sanctum sanctoram, Shankaracharya said, ”Shani is a planet of sins. Worshipping him will lead to a rise in crime against women.” .
New agency ANI also quoted the Dwaraka-Sharda Peeth Shankaracharya as saying, ”women entered Shani temple’s inner sanctum, due to this, incidents of rapes will increase further.”
