Ayodhya, Feb. 23 :    Ayodhya, Feb. 23:  More than 15,000 people from across the country have poured into the temple town to join the VHP's Poorna Ahuti Yagna, which will signal the 'spiritual beginning' of the proposed Ram temple at the disputed site. Beginning tomorrow, the maha yagna, organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and performed by the sadhus, will continue for the next 100 days and is expected to involve nearly two million people. 'It is obvious that in the hearts of millions of Hindus, the Ram temple issue still reigns supreme. Now the people have shed the shackles of politics. The country is asserting itself, (and) there will be no peace till the Ram temple is built here,' said VHP chief Ashok Singhal. But Meghan Das doesn't know why he is here. He was herded into a train with his family of eight for the 13-hour journey from Samastipur by the mukhiya of his village. He was told a great event is being held at Ayodhya. Asked why he was here, he smiled and said: 'Mela dekhwa ke liye.' Meghan is not the only one. Chanaraidevi, 88, from Begusarai, said: 'We were told something very big is happening in Ayodhya. I don't know anything else though I have been promised good food and warm clothes.' Several said they have gathered 'in the name of Ram'. A 60-acre plot has been acquired to house the devotees. Feeding the hungry will be five kitchens, each with a capacity to serve 5,000 people at one go. The mammoth habitation of tin sheds and hay-bedding has been christened Ramsevakpuram. Sharad Sharma, a VHP activist and in-charge of the temple movement's media cell, said at least 10,000 people are expected to attend the yagna every day. A new group of devotees will join the puja as those who have participated head home. On the eve of the gigantic religious exercise aimed at motivating Ram bhakts, Singhal said he was satisfied with the response. VHP international secretary Pravin Togadia, too, was upbeat. Asked how serious his organisation was about the March 15 deadline for starting construction, he said: 'We said there will be shilanyas in 1986 and we performed a shilanyas, we promised a kar seva and held one in 1990, then we said the masjid will be removed and we did exactly that on December 6, 1992. Temple construction will begin on the date promised by us.' The VHP and sadhu-sants have strictly divided their areas of action. While the VHP bosses are handling the 'politics of the temple movement', the sadhus are looking after the yagnas and pujas. The sadhus overseeing the yagna kunds will not talk about the construction, nor will they allow the media to photograph or film their puja. But the younger sadhus are in no mood to let the VHP hijack the 'momentous event that will take place on March 15'. 'There are 14,000 mandirs here and be sure that on March 15, there will be more than 15,000 of us marching to the disputed site. The sadhus will not be left behind,' said Rakeshdasji, 35. Hovering around the kund site in mufti, an officer from the intelligence department said the administration, though prepared for any eventuality, is adopting a 'wait-and-watch'' policy. 'It is obvious that they (the VHP) are very serious this time. But it is also true that much of their programme will take shape keeping in mind who forms the next government in Uttar Pradesh,' he said.
