The Prime Minister said that experiencing the divine consciousness inside the \u2018Garbh Grih\u2019 (inner sanctum) cannot be put into words and his body is pulsating with energy and the mind is devoted to the moment of Pran Pratishtha. \u201cOur Ram Lalla will not reside in the tent anymore. This divine temple will be his home now\u201d, the Prime Minister said expressing confidence and reverence that the events of today can be experienced by Ram Bhakts all around the country and the world. \u201cThis moment is supernatural and sacred, the atmosphere, environment and energy signify the blessings of Lord Ram upon us\u201d, PM Modi said. He underlined that the morning Sun of 22nd January has brought a new aura along with it. \u201c22nd January 2024 is not a mere date on the calendar, it is the origin of a new \u2018kaal chakra\u2019\u201d, the Prime Minister said emphasizing that the joyous and festive mood of the entire nation was on a constant rise since the \u2018Bhoomi Pujan\u2019 of Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and the progress of the developmental works enthused new energy into the citizens. \u201cToday, we have received the heritage of centuries of patience, today we have got Shri Ram\u2019s temple\u201d, the Prime Minister said. He underlined that the nation that breaks the shackles of the mindset of slavery and derives inspiration from the experiences of the past is the one which writes history. PM Modi said that today\u2019s date will be discussed in a thousand years from now and it is by the blessings of Lord Ram that we are a witness to this momentous occasion unfolding itself. \u201cDays, directions, skies and everything are brimming with divinity today\u201d, the Prime Minister said, stating that this is not an ordinary time period but an indelible memory path being imprinted on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the presence of Shri Hanuman in every work of Shri Ram, the Prime Minister bowed to Shri Hanuman and Hanuman Garhi. He also bowed to Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughan and Mata Janki. He acknowledged the presence of divine entities over the event. The Prime Minister apologized to Prabhu Shri Ram for the delay in seeing today\u2019s day and said that as today that vacuum has been filled, surely, Shri Ram will forgive us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recalling, Sant Tulsidas\u2019s return of Shri Ram in \u2018Treta Yug\u2019, The Prime Minister recalled the happiness that Ayodhya of the time must have felt. \u201cThen the separation with Shri Ram lasted for 14 years and was still so unbearable. In this age Ayodhya and the countrymen suffered the separation of hundreds of years\u201d, he said. PM Modi continued, despite Shri Ram being present in the original copy of the Constitution, a prolonged legal battle was fought after the independence. The Prime Minister thanked the Judiciary of India for \u201ckeeping the dignity of justice intact. Embodiment of justice, Shri Ram\u2019s temple was constructed through just means\u201d, he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister informed that the entire nation including small villages is witnessing processions and cleanliness campaigns are being carried out in temples. \u201cThe entire nation is celebrating Diwali today. Every household is prepared to light up the \u2018Ram Jyoti\u2019 in the evening\u201d, PM Modi said. Recalling his visit to Arichal Munai, the starting point of Ram Setu, yesterday, the Prime Minister said that it was the moment which altered the Kaal Chakra. Drawing an analogy to that moment, the Prime Minister said that he got the belief that today\u2019s moment will also be the one to alter the circle of time and move forward. PM Modi informed that during his 11-day anushthan, he attempted to bow before all the places where Lord Ram had set foot. Mentioning Pancwati Dham in Nashik, Thriprayar Temple in Kerala, Lepakshi in Andhra Pradesh, Shri Ranganathswamy Temple in Srirangam, Shri Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi, the Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the journey from the sea to river Sarayu. \u201cFrom the sea to the Saryu river, the same festive spirit of Ram&#8217;s name is prevalent everywhere\u201d, he continued, \u201cLord Ram is connected to every particle of the soul of India. Ram resides in the hearts of Indians\u201d. He further added that the feeling of oneness can be found within everyone&#8217;s conscience anywhere in India and there could not be a more perfect formula for collectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recalling his experience of listening to Shri Ram Katha in many languages, the Prime Minister said that Ram is there in the memories, festivals of traditions. \u201cIn every age, people have lived Ram. They have expressed Ram in their style and words. This \u2018Ram Ras\u2019 is continuously flowing like the flow of life. Ram Katha is infinite and Ramayan too is endless. Ideals, values and teachings of Ran are the same everywhere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the sacrifice of the people who made today\u2019s day possible. He paid tributes to Saints, Kar Sewaks and Ram Bhakts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister said \u201cToday&#8217;s occasion is not only a moment of celebration, but at the same time it is also a moment of realization of the maturity of Indian society. For us, this is not only an occasion of victory but also of humility.\u201d Explaining the knots of history, the Prime Minister pointed out that the outcome of a nation&#8217;s struggle with its history is seldom happy. \u201cStill\u201d, he said \u201cthe gravity and sensitivity with which our country has opened this knot of history shows that our future is going to be much more beautiful than our past.\u201d Remembering the doomsayers, the Prime Minister said that such people did not realize the piousness of our social ethos. \u201cThe construction of this temple of Ramlala is also a symbol of peace, patience, mutual harmony and coordination of Indian society. We are seeing that this construction is not giving birth to any fire, but to energy. Ram Mandir has brought inspiration to every section of the society to move forward on the path of a bright future\u201d, he said. He continued \u201cRam is not fire, he is energy, he not conflict but solution, ram does not belong only to us but to all, Ram is not just present but is infinity\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister emphasized that the whole world is connected with the Pran Pratistha and the omnipresence of Ram can be witnessed. He said that similar celebrations can be seen in many countries and the festival of Ayodhya has become a celebration of the global traditions of Ramayana. \u201cRam Lalla\u2019s prestige is the idea of \u2018Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam\u2019\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PM Modi underlined that it is not just the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Shri Ram\u2019s idol but also the consecration of the unwavering faith in Indian culture manifested in the form of Shri Ram. He said that is the embodiment of human values and the highest ideals, which is the need of the hour of the entire world. The Prime Minister said that the resolutions of welfare for all have taken the shape of Ram temple today and it is not just a temple but India&#8217;s vision, philosophy, and direction. \u201cThis is a temple of national consciousness in the form of Ram. Lord Ram is India\u2019s faith, foundation, idea, law, consciousness, thinking, prestige and glory. Ram is flow, Ram is effect. Ram is Neeti. Ram is eternal. Ram is continuity. Ram is Vibhu. Ram is all-pervading, the world, the universal soul\u201d, the Prime Minister said fervently. He said that the impact of Lord Ram\u2019s Pratishtha can be felt for thousands of years. Quoting Maharishi Valmiki, the Prime Minister said that Ram ruled the kingdom for ten thousand years which signifies the establishment of Ramrajya for thousands of years. \u201cWhen Ram came in Treta Yug, Ramrajya was established for thousands of years. Ram had been guiding the world for thousands of years\u201d, PM Modi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister asked every Ram Bhakt to introspect about the path ahead after the realization of the grand Ram Mandir. \u201cToday, I feel with a pure heart that the cycle of time is changing. It is a happy coincidence that our generation has been chosen as the architect of this critical path.\u201d PM Modi underlined the importance of the current epoch and reiterated his line \u2018Yahi Samay Hai Sahi Samay Hai\u2019, This is the time, the right time. \u201cWe have to lay the foundation of India for the next one thousand years. Moving ahead from the temple, now all of us countrymen take an oath to build a strong, capable, grand and divine India from this very moment\u201d, the Prime Minister exhorted the countrymen. For this, he said, it is important that Ram\u2019s ideal should be there in the conscience of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister asked the countrymen to expand their consciousness from Dev to Desh, Ram to Rashtra &#8211; from deity to nation. He asked them to learn from Shri Hanuman\u2019s service, devotion and dedication. \u201cThese feelings of devotion, service and dedication in every Indian will become the basis of a capable, grand and divine India\u201d, he said. The Prime Minister continued and said that the spirit behind Mata Shabri\u2019s trust that \u2018Ram will Come\u2019 in every Indian\u2019s heart will be the basis of Grand capable and divine India. Referring to the depth and originality of Ram\u2019s affection for Nishadraj shows that all are one and this feeling of oneness and cohesiveness will be the basis of capable, grand and divine India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister pointed out that there is no room for despair in the country today. Highlighting the story of the squirrel, the Prime Minister said that those considering themselves to be small and ordinary must remember the contributions of the squirrel and get rid of any hesitancy. He noted that every effort, big or small, has its strength and contribution. \u201cThe spirit of Sabka Prayas will become the basis of a strong, capable, grand and divine India. And this is the expansion of the consciousness of the country from God and the consciousness of the nation from Ram\u201d, the Prime Minister exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throwing light on the Jatayu\u2019s integrity who knew about his imminent defeat when he fought Ravan, the ruler of Lanka who possessed extreme knowledge and immense power, the Prime Minister said that the culmination of such duty is the basis of a capable and divine India. PM Modi pledged to dedicate every moment of life to nation-building and said, \u201cWith Ram\u2019s work, Rashtra&#8217;s work, every moment of time, every particle of the body will connect the dedication of Ram with the goal of dedication to the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing his theme of going beyond self, PM Modi said our worship of Bhagwan Ram should be for the entire creation, from \u2018I\u2019 to \u2018us\u2019. Our efforts, he said, should be dedicated to the creation of a Viksit Bharat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the ongoing Amrit Kaal and young demographics, the Prime Minister noted the perfect combination of factors for the nation\u2019s growth. The Prime Minister asked the young generation to take the support of their strong heritage and move ahead with confidence. \u201cIndia will reach the goal of prosperity by following the path of both the purity of tradition and the infinity of modernity\u201d, the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prime Minister underlined that the future is dedicated to successes and accomplishments and the grand Ram Temple will be a witness to the progress and rise of India. \u201cThis grand Ram temple will become a witness to the rise of Viksit Bharat\u201d, the Prime Minister said. Drawing lessons from the temple, the Prime Minister emphasized that a goal can be achieved if it is justified and born out of collective and organized power. \u201cThis is India&#8217;s time and India is going to move forward. After waiting for centuries we have reached here. We all have waited for this era, this period. Now we will not stop. We will continue to reach the heights of development\u201d, the Prime Minister concluded paying his obeisance at the feet of Ram Lalla and wishing the very best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath, Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Mohan Bhagwat and President of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust, Nritya Gopal Das were present on the occasion among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1998553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PIB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAfter centuries of patience, uncountable sacrifices, renunciation and penance, our Shri Ram is here\u201d \u201c22nd January 2024 is not a mere date on the calendar, it is the origin of a new \u2018kaal chakra\u2019\u201d \u201cI thank the Indian judiciary for preserving the dignity of justice.
