Naga sadhu  great heroes behind Gyanvaapi's Survival.

Aurangzeb was shaken by the sacrifice of 40 thousand Nagas, did not repeat this mistake in Gyanvapi

gyanvapi asi report: The ASI report of Gyanvapi has become public and it has become clear that there was not a mosque but a grand temple here.  The report clearly states that the pillars found here and the carvings done on them and the symbols of Hindu religion show that there was a grand temple here.  32 evidences have been found of Gyanvapi being a temple.  This evidence clearly shows that Gyanvapi was a temple and it was demolished and a mosque was built.  Terrorists demolished thousands of temples in India and converted many of them into mosques.  Aurangzeb did the same in the case of Gyanvapi also.  Along with ordering the demolition of the temple built here, he also gave orders to build a mosque there.  Whereas in the case of Kashi Vishwanath temple built right next to it, Aurangzeb did not do this.  There was a special reason behind having two different strategies regarding these two temples built side by side.

Different strategy regarding Kashi Vishwanath and Gyanvapi

 On the basis of history, research done by scholars and various books, Aurangzeb demolished many Hindu temples in India.  In 1664, Aurangzeb attacked the Kashi Vishwanath Temple located in Varanasi, the center of immense faith of Hindus.  This temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is included in the 12 Jyotirlingas.  But the Mughal army could not stand before the Naga Sadhus of Mahanirvani Akhara.

 A description of this is found in the book 'A History of Dashnami Naga Sanyasis' by historian and writer Jadunath Sarkar.  According to this book, Naga Sadhus proved themselves heroes in the war and fought bravely.  He protected the honor of Kashi Vishwanath.  For this, 40 thousand Nagas sacrificed their lives but kept the Mughals away from Kashi Vishwanath.

Attacked again after 5 years

Five years later, in 1669, Aurangzeb again attacked Varanasi and this time targeted the Gyanvapi temple adjacent to Kashi Vishwanath.  After heavily vandalizing this temple, Aurangzeb immediately ordered to build a mosque here.

 This is so that Hindus cannot immediately rise up and build a temple here.  Aurangzeb knew that temples were associated with the faith and sentiments of Hindus.  If the temple is simply destroyed and abandoned, the Hindus will not delay in rebuilding it.  Therefore, he built a mosque there with his own hands.  Aurangzeb adopted this strategy in the case of many other temples also.  Due to that, many temples of the country lost their identity after being converted into mosques.
