Datia (Madhya Pradesh) [India], January 12 : Moni Baba, who took a pledge not to speak at the age of 10 and has been walking barefoot for years with a resolve to build the Ram Mandir, will break his silence by chanting Lord Ram's name on January 22.
Moni Baba in MP has resolved not to wear slippers until the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the establishment of Ram Lalla.
As soon as Ram Lalla is seated in the temple, he will give up the pledge of not wearing slippers and not speaking.
