When Satyendra Das ran away after picking up Ramlala in his lap
Satyendra Das was from a Brahmin family of Santakbir Nagar. Ayodhya came to Ayodhya in the early 50s and became a disciple of Abhiradas. Abhiram Das is the one who installed the idols of Ramlala in the temple in 1949. Acharya Satyendra Das, Ram Vilas Vedanti and Hanuman Garhi’s saint Dharmadas are the three Gurubhai. Satyendra Das ran away in the lap to save Ramlala’s idols during the Babri demolition in 1992. He was the chief priest of Sri Ramjambhaumi for a long time.
Satyendra Das had told in an interview to the media that when the Babri demolition took place, I was there. Loud speaker was installed. The leaders said that the priest should offer it and close the curtain. Then I put the curtain by offering bhog. A day earlier, the kar sevaks were told to bring water from Saryu, there was also a platform. Then it was announced that all the people should release water on the platform and wash, but those who were said that we have not come here to wash with water. After that slogans started raising and they broke the barricading and reached. Meanwhile, we started to save Ramlala that they should not suffer any harm. We picked up Ramlala and went away.
