Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will on Thursday visit Ayodhya to meet Hindu leaders and other stakeholders in a bid to resolve the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute in Uttar Pradesh.

The visit comes a day after the spiritual guru met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his residence in Lucknow to discuss the contentious issue.

As per reports, in the 30-minute long meeting, Ravi Shankar briefed the Chief Minister about his initiative to try thrash out a mutually acceptable formula to the long simmering dispute.

Ravi Shankar also held a meeting with senior Muslim cleric Khalid Rashid Firangimahali.

Last month, Ravi Shankar had expressed his willingness to mediate in the Babri Masjid-Ram Mandir dispute.

Meanwhile, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has voiced doubts over Ravi Shankar’s efforts to resolve the issue saying the issue of constructing a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya can never be resolved through talks.

VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal said the issue can be resolved only through an Act of Parliament as court proceedings would only delay the matter.
