AYODHYA, INDIA, April 23, 2003: A bank was founded in 1971 by Mahant Nritya Gopal Das in the Ram Janam Bhoomi temple. However, money is the last requisite for opening an account in this bank because the lockers safeguard deposits in the form of the name of Lord Rama written on various media. Currently the bank holds 3,500 billion deposits from people living in places as far off as Indonesia, China, Germany, Japan, Thailand and Nepal. Each account holder is issued a valid passbook, with a record of credits and the balance in the particular account. Clients are directed to use only red ink while writing the name of Lord Rama for deposits, as red is considered an auspicious color. According to traditional beliefs, the name of Lord Rama when written by a devotee is considered a hundred times more effective and powerful than when recited. Credits are accepted in all the Indian languages, as well as six foreign languages. HPI adds: If someone has an address for this bank, please send it to ar@hindu.org so we may share it with our readers.
