Important role in Ram Janmabhoomi movement
Swami Raghavacharya Ji Maharaj was a great devotee of Lord Ram. He played an important role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. Maharaj Ji had taken a group of kar sevaks from Jaipur during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. The group was caught by the police on the way and locked up in Agra Central Jail. Many MLAs were also part of the group. In the jail, Maharaj and other saints used to give sermons during the day and bhajans were held in the evening. The people in the group were kept in jail for 9 days and then left in the forest on the Rajasthan border. Maharaj had taken a silver brick to participate in the Bhoomi Pujan for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. 11 lakh names of Ram were written on the silver brick used in the Bhoomi Pujan.
