Kanchi Acharya smiles away questions

Jaipur June 10. A day after Muslim leaders denied they were talking to him on the Ayodhya issue, the Kanchi Sankaracharya, Jayendra Saraswati, today smiled away questions on his role in resolving the vexed Ayodhya dispute.

``Please say at least two words as a blessing,'' one reporter insisted. ``Blessings, blessings and blessings,'' replied the seer. ``Now I have said it thrice.'' Persistent questions by mediapersons merely drew a smile. Earlier, on Monday the Sankaracharya had counselled the media to work for a positive change in society. Stress was needed on moral and spiritual education to arrest the fall in standards of society, he had averred.— UNI
