  1. Freedom of religion in India is a fundamental right guaranteed by the country’s constitution.Every citizen of India has a right to practice and promote their religion peacefully. To build a temple for ones religious Guru is his constitutional right. In our Country temples are built for cine-heroes. Her holiness Swaroopananda Saraswati should preferably distance himself from the hurly burly of religious prompting.
