Allahabad High Court declares Goddess Shriji Radha Rani as fictional

Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) – The claim of Goddess Shriji Radha Rani to be the co-owner of Shrikrushna Janmabhoomi in Mathura is based on Pauranic illustrations. This argument cannot be proven from these texts alone. No concrete evidence has been presented on her behalf to prove that Radha Rani was the co-owner of the disputed property or that she had any temple in the disputed property, stated Allahabad High Court Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra while dismissing the petition to make Goddess Shriji Radha Rani a party in the Shrikrushna Janmabhoomi case. References were given to ancient religious texts like Skanda Purana, Shrimad Bhagwat and Brahmavaivarta Purana in support of this claim. It was demanded that Radha Rani be declared as the first wife of Shrikrushna and be made a party in the case. The next hearing will be held on July 4^th .

Considering Radha Rani an imaginary character proves the ignorance of the judges : Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati

Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of Jyotish Pitha said on this decision, “The Allahabad High Court judge, in the Shrikrushna Janmabhoomi case, has said that Shrikrushna is fictional, Radha ji is fictional too. This shows his ignorance. He should remember that on November 9^th , 2019, the Supreme Court had given a verdict on Shriram Janmabhoomi, in which, the verdict was not only given in favour of Deity Shriram but also in favour of various Puranas and texts including Skanda Purana. These texts were considered as evidence in the verdict. If the judge had kept all these things in mind, he would not have said this. The judge should at least have remembered that there is an established system in India. If any religious decision has to be made regarding Hindus, then that decision has to be made on the basis of Hindu scriptures. The judge should read the rules once. One should refrain from hurting the sentiments of 100 crore Hindus by calling their Deities and scriptures fictional.”

Editorial Perspective

Denying reference to Puranas, the Court rejects petition seeking Goddess Shriji Radha Rani’s inclusion as a party in the Shrikrushna Janmabhoomi case.
