Ayodhya, 31 December. Today, the country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh reached Ayodhya Dham along with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to participate in the second anniversary of the Pratistha Dwadashi ceremony of Lord Ramlala’s enthronement in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple. On this auspicious occasion, he first worshiped Lord Hanuman at Hanumangarhi and then visited Lord Ramlala at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple. After this, amid the chanting of mantras, he installed the religious flag on the peak of Maa Annapurna Temple built in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple complex. During this, in his address, the Defense Minister expressed his sentiments and said that “Nath Aaju Main Kahan Na Pava”. It feels like I got everything I wanted in life. Raghavendra Sarkar himself had chosen me for this day, so today I am getting this opportunity.
Every street of Ayodhya and India is filled with Ram today.
Describing it as a fortunate day of his life, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, “When Lord Shri Ram was re-established here two years ago, it was a historic moment of pride for all the Indians. Today, Lord Shri Ram is adorning not only India but the whole world with his fame. He said that every street and every intersection of Ayodhya should have become Rammay. Kanak Bhawan, Dashrath Mahal, Hanumangarhi, the entire Ayodhya is in the lap of Maa Saryu. This aura is not limited to Ayodhya only, but the whole of Awadh is proud. He reminded that this is the same land which has made unbearable sacrifices for years, but the faith of Lord Ram has not wavered, he said, compared to many previous generations. We are fortunate that we saw that moment with our own eyes.
Ram Mandir movement is the world’s grandest narrative
Describing the Ram Mandir movement as the world’s grandest narrative, he said that this movement is unique both in terms of geography and time. He said that from India to many countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, where apart from Hindus, people of other communities also consider themselves connected with Lord Ram, this was a movement of all those who believed in Ram. Such a movement lasting 500 years of non-violent struggle will not be seen anywhere in history. He said that not only Shri Ram temple has been constructed in Ayodhya, but Ayodhya is creating new dimensions of development in all areas of industry, business along with airport, rail network, road connectivity. This stream of development is not limited to Ayodhya only, but is reaching from the entire Awadh province to every corner of the country. For this development journey of Avadhpuri, he appreciated and congratulated the efficient leadership and successful efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the double engine government.
Taught a lesson by entering the house of terrorists in Operation Sindoor
While mentioning Operation Sindoor in his address, the Defense Minister gave the example of the dignity of Lord Shri Ram. He said that just as Lord Shri Ram has taught us all not to leave dignity in war, similarly our army also took limited, controlled and purposeful action. The objective of Operation Sindoor was to teach the terrorists a lesson, we have taught them a lesson by entering their hideout. He also said that just as the divinely grand temple of Lord Ram is established in Ayodhya Dham, similarly a grand temple is also being constructed at the birthplace of Mother Janaki in Punauradham. At the conclusion of his address, he prayed, “As long as the moon and the sun are present in the sky, may this flag of Sanatan Aastha continue to wave. May Lord Ram show us all the path of duty.”
