Pouring fuel on women’s right to pray in Shani Shinganapur temple, Shankracharya Swami Swaroopananda said those women who pray in the temple will are sitting targets to invite rape.
He said this soon after the temple trust decided to allow women to enter the temple’s sanctum sanctorum.
“They should have prayed to those who indulge in alcoholism not to violate women. What will Shani do for them?” said Swaroopananada.
Bhumata Brigade activist Trupti Desai, who had led an agitation to allow women into the santum sanctorum of Shani temple, hit out at Swaroopananda, 94, saying he has grown senile. We have won half the battle and the second half is to alter the people’s mindset.
