An 83-year-old seer has donated â¹1 crore to the Visva Hindu Parishad (VHP) for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The seer has been living in a cave for over half a century. "I've been living in the cave for over half a century. As a seer, I live on donations from the devotees visiting the cave. When I came to know about the VHP campaign, I decided to donate the amount for Ram Mandir for which we all have been dreaming for long," said Swami Shankar Das while speaking to the media.
The bank officials were surprised when the seer offered the cheque for â¹1 crore. Upon checking, they found that his account had the requisite balance. The officials then contacted the local RSS functionaries who reached the bank and helped Das donate the amount in the Ram Mandir Trust.
