Bengaluru, Oct 28: The Art of Living Foundation has said that its founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been in touch with several imams and swamis, including Acharya Ram Das of Nirmohi Akhara, to help find an out-of-court settlement to the Ram temple dispute.
The Foundation, however, said it was too early to draw any conclusions and that these discussions were not done on behalf of the government.
"Ravi Shankar has been in touch with several imams and swamis, including Acharya Ram Das of Nirmohi Akhara," the Art of Living Foundation said in a statement here.
"Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is of the view that the prevailing mood on the Ram Mandir issue provides an opportunity for people from both communities to come together, show their magnanimity and settle the dispute out of court," it added.
The Foundation said these discussions, not done on behalf of any government or organisation, had brought to the fore the positive energy and willingness of leaders from both communities to move forward and arrive at an amicable solution.
However, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has reportedly denied holding any meeting with Ravi Shankar. The Board yesterday said it was ready to talk to Ravi Shankar if he wanted, for they would not have any issue in having a conversation and in helping find a solution.
The Allahabad High Court, in 2010, had ruled a three-way division of the disputed 2.77-acre area at Ayodhya among Sunni Waqf Board, Nirmohi Akhara and Lord Ram Lalla. The Supreme Court decided to reopen the hearing after based on 13 appeals filed against the 2010 judgement in four civil suits. It is all set to hear the historic Babri Masjid-Ram Temple case from December 5.

Who the hell is he???
They are on the LOSING side ... Thats why they want out of court solution... Ache din are still not visible.
The right person for Conflict Resolution. His vision for a stress free and violence free world is in the making. Only a responsible Guru can solve such issues
Fool congress and left liberals Trust ZAKIR NAIK,AFZAL GURU,BURHAN WANI etc.,but doubt every move of Hindu saints...
This is very good and very necessary action by Sri Sri. Dialogue is the best way possible that can solve all the issues. Sri Sri is a great Saint.
We welcome respected saint Sri Sri to find a solution to RAM mandir matter...
He is a true saint...
We trust and firmly believe that Guruji only can handle such disputes in peaceful way as everyone knows his spiritual credentials and identity which says " Vasudhayibya kutumbakam"..
SC has recorded evidence of Ayodhya temple predating Babri Mandir . Now a massive Ram Mandir should be built befitting the statue of Lord Ram and its costs and compensations with interest for the lost years mustr be recovered from the AIMPLB, Wakkf , the Babri committee and all resident Mulsims of the area whose ancestors have looted the trillions of tons of gold and dioamonds so many years ago. Justice should be done to the Hindu Community.
