A NEW ERA FOR RAM LALLA
Our Ram Lalla will no longer live in a tent. Our Ram Lalla will now reside in this divine temple. I firmly believe, with immense devotion, that the experience of what has happened will be felt by devotees of Lord Ram in every corner of the country, and the world. This moment is supernatural. This time is the most sacred. This atmosphere, this environment, this energy, this moment... is a blessing from Lord Shri Ram.
January 22, 2024... this sun has brought a remarkable aura. January 22, 2024, is not just a date on the calendar. It marks the beginning of a new era. A nation rising by breaking the mentality of slavery, a nation drawing courage from every affliction of the past, creates a new history in this manner.
A thousand years from today, people will talk about this date, this moment. And how great is Lord Ram’s grace that we are living in this moment, witnessing it happen.
PRABHU RAM WILL FORGIVE US
This time is not ordinary. These are indelible lines of memory being etched with everlasting ink on the wheel of time. Friends, we all know that where the work of Ram is done, there Pawanputra Hanuman is definitely present. Therefore, I also pay my respects to the devotee Hanuman and Hanumangarhi. I pay my respects to Mother Janaki, Lakshman Ji, Bharat-Shatrughna, and all. I also pay my respects to the holy city of Ayodhya and the sacred Saryu river. At this moment, I am feeling a divine experience that those divine souls, those divine beings who have blessed this great work are present around us at this time. I offer my grateful respects to all these divine consciousnesses. Today, I also seek forgiveness from Lord Shriram. There must have been some shortcomings in our efforts, our sacrifices, our penance, that we couldn’t accomplish this task for so many centuries. Today, that deficiency has been fulfilled. I believe Lord Ram will surely forgive us today.
COUNTLESS RAM BHAKTS
Today, in this historic moment, the country is also remembering those personalities whose efforts and dedication have made this auspicious day possible. Many people have shown the pinnacle of sacrifice and penance in the work of Ram. We are all indebted to those countless devotees of Ram, those countless volunteers, and those countless saints and sages.
THOSE FEAR MONGERING
There was a time when some people said that if the Ram temple is built, it will lead to unrest. Such people failed to understand the purity of India’s social sentiment. The construction of this temple of Ram Lalla is also a symbol of peace, patience, harmony, and coordination in Indian society.
We are seeing that this construction is not igniting any fire, but rather it is giving birth to energy. The Ram temple has brought inspiration for every section of society to move towards a brighter future.
Today, I call upon those people... Feel it, rethink your perspective.
‘VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM’
Today, as the whole world is connected with the life-infusing ceremony of the Ram temple, we are witnessing the omnipresence of Ram. The celebration in India is echoed in many countries. Today’s celebration in Ayodhya has also become a festival of those global traditions of the Ramayana. This establishment of Ram Lalla is also an embodiment of the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’.
Today in Ayodhya, not just the idol of Shri Ram has been infused with life. It is also the life-infusion of unbreakable faith in Indian culture as represented by Shri Ram. It is the life-infusion of human values and supreme ideals. The entire world needs these values and ideals today. We have been repeating the resolution of ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’ for centuries. Today, this resolution has taken a concrete shape in the form of the Ram temple.
IMPACT OF PRAN PRATISHTHA
When Shri Ram’s kingdom is established , its impact lasts not just for years or centuries. Its impact is for thousands of years. Ram was established in his kingdom for ten thousand years. That means Ramrajya was established for thousands of years. When Ram came in Treta Yuga, Ramrajya was established for thousands of years. For thousands of years, Ram guided the world.
The generations a thousand years from now will remember our nation-building efforts of today. Therefore, I say – Yahi Samay Hai, Sahi Samay Hai. We have to lay the foundation for India of the next thousand years, starting from this sacred time.
A CALL TO THE YOUTH OF INDIA
I tell the youth of my country. You have the inspiration of thousands of years of tradition in front of you. You represent the generation of India... that is hoisting the flag on the moon, that is successfully conducting Mission Aditya by travelling 15 lakh kilometers to the Sun, that is waving the flag of Tejas in the sky and Vikrant in the sea. You have to write the new dawn of India while being proud of your heritage.
THIS IS INDIA’S TIME
This is India’s time, and India is now moving forward. We have reached here after centuries of waiting. We all have been waiting for this era, this period of time. Now, we will not stop. We will reach the heights of development.
