Ayodhya: Addressing the large gathering after the ‘pran pratistha’ rituals at the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, “Our Ram has finally arrived.”
“I have come before you are witnessing the divine consciousness in the temple’s sanctum sanctorum. There’s so much to say but, but there’s a lump in my throat. After unprecedented patience, innumerable sacrifices and penance, our Lord Ram has arrived. I congratulate the country on this occasion,” the Prime Minister said.
Ram Lalla, he said, will “no longer live in a tent”. Saying that this moment of consecration is a blessing from Lord Ram, he said January 22 is “not a date on a calendar, but the dawn of a new era”.
Equating the consecration ceremony with breaking free of a mindset of slavery, he said it is a blessing that we are alive to witness this historic event. “Even after thousands of years, people will remember this date, moment. It is Ram’s supreme blessings that we are witnessing it,” he said. He also sought forgiveness from the deity and said there must have been some lapse because of which it took so long to reach this point.
Saying that “Ram’s existence was questioned”, the Prime Minister said, “In India’s Constitution, in its first page, there’s Lord Ram. I thank the Supreme Court for maintaining the dignity of law.”
He claimed that there had been warnings from some that the Ram Temple’s construction would start a fire. Such individuals were unable to comprehend the purity of Indian social consciousness. The building of this Ram Lalla temple is also a representation of the harmony, peace, and patience of Indian society. We can see that this has created energy rather than fire,” he remarked.
“Ram is an energy, not a fire. Ram is a solution, not a source of contention. The Prime Minister remarked, “Today, we saw the pran pratishtha of Ram Lalla’s idol, as well as the pran pratishtha of the unbreakable unity of India. Ram is not just ours, he is everyone’s.”
In laying out his plans for the future of the nation, the prime minister declared, “Ram’s temple has been built. What happens next? Every citizen ought to be aware of both Ram and the nation of Rashtra, as well as of God and the country.
