राम मंदिर निर्माण पर ट्रस्ट के ऐलान के साथ ही संत समाज के बीच मतभेद भी सामने आने लगा है. अयोध्या के तपस्वी अखाड़े के महंत परमहंस दास ने ट्रस्ट का विरोध करने वाले संतों पर हमला बोला है. साथ ही उन्होंने संघ प्रमुख मोहन भागवत को ट्रस्ट का संरक्षक बनाने की मांग की है.
Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, designated successor to Nritya Gopal Das, said that the Vaishnav Samaj had been completely ignored in the trust. We do not accept this trust, he said. Commenting on the inclusion of Bimlendra Mohan Pratap Mishra, the Ayodhya Raja, in the trust, the saint said that he was a political leader who had contested election on a BSP ticket. He said that Mishra had nothing to do with the Ayodhya movement. Mahant Suresh Das of Digambar Akhara has also voiced his opposition to the new trust which includes those who were nowhere in the temple movement. Mahant Paramhans Das of Tapasvi Chavni, who had put forward the name of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as head of the trust, has started an indefinite fast in protest at the Bilardeeh Shiva temple in Chandauli.
