In a historic moment on January 22, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed joy and gratitude as the grand temple for Ram Lalla was inaugurated, ending centuries of anticipation. PM Modi apologized to Lord Shri Ram, acknowledging the long delay in building the temple and expressing belief in forgiveness.
Reflecting on the decades-long legal battle over Lord Ram’s existence, PM Modi credited the Indian judiciary for delivering justice. He compared the contemporary separation endured by Ayodhya and the country to the 14-year separation in the epic Ramayana, emphasizing the significance of the moment.
PM Modi characterized the occasion as the dawn of a new time cycle and praised the devotion of Prabhu Ram’s followers across the globe. He described the temple as a symbol of national consciousness, stating that Ram embodies the faith, foundation, idea, law, prestige, and glory of India.
Addressing past skepticism, PM Modi recalled when some doubted the construction of the Ram Mandir, fearing it would ignite conflict. He highlighted the temple’s role in promoting peace, patience, harmony, and coordination within Indian society, emphasizing its positive energy rather than any divisive elements.
The journey from Sagar to Saryu, according to PM Modi, showcased the widespread festive spirit associated with Ram’s name. He concluded by emphasizing the enduring impact of honoring Lord Ram, stating that its effects would last not just for years or centuries but for millennia.
