Historical Significance Of Janaki Mahal In Ram Janmabhoomi Movement
CM Yogi also reflected on the historical significance of Janaki Mahal during the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement. He recalled how his revered Gurudev Mahant Avedyanath Ji Maharaj had frequently stayed at Janaki Mahal for important meetings related to the movement. The Chief Minister emphasized that Janaki Mahal has been a center of inspiration and activity for many respected saints and events.
Ayodhya’s Transformation: From Power Shortages To Modern Connectivity
CM Yogi highlighted the remarkable development in Ayodhya since 2017, contrasting the city’s past struggles with its present progress. He recalled that before 2017, Ayodhya faced power shortages with only four to five hours of electricity a day. Cleanliness and infrastructure were lacking, and Saryu’s water was stagnant. Today, Ayodhya boasts improved road, rail, and air connectivity, with ongoing surveys to explore water routes for trade. The city’s transformation has been significant, with narrower streets being widened and Ram’s garden now clean and well-maintained.
The Ideal System Of Ram Rajya: A Vision For Prosperity
CM Yogi further elaborated on the ideals of Ram Rajya, stating that Shri Ram’s rule was characterized by prosperity, harmony, and justice for all. He recalled the story of Shri Ram sending Hanuman Ji to check if Bharat desired the throne upon his return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. The message from Hanuman Ji confirmed that Bharat had waited for Ram with respect, not selfish ambition. This ideal governance system, where everyone prospered, continues to inspire India’s values and governance model.
A Call For Collective Responsibility
In his address, CM Yogi called upon all citizens to embrace their responsibilities in shaping the future of the country. “It is not only the government’s duty to advance the country; individuals and institutions must also contribute,” he said. He stressed that every citizen and organization must take part in India’s journey toward self-reliance, and work together to create a developed India by the time the country celebrates its centenary of independence.
Dignitaries At The Event
The Shri Ram Janaki marriage festival saw the participation of several notable figures, including Ayodhya In-charge Minister Surya Pratap Shahi, MLAs Vedprakash Gupta and Ramchandra Yadav, and several other distinguished guests. The event concluded with a message of unity, progress, and the importance of upholding the values of Sanatan Dharma for the prosperity of India.
