AYODHYA: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Monday that the pride of the country has been restored with the homecoming of Ram Lalla to his temple in Ayodhya.
“Today, after 500 years, Ram Lalla has returned here and due to his efforts, we are seeing this golden day. We pay our utmost respect to him. The history of this era has so much power that whoever listens to the stories of Ram Lalla, all their sorrows and pains will be erased,” Bhagwat said, addressing the gathering at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple premises after Ram Lalla’s ‘Pran Pratishtha’.
He said that the opening of the Ram temple has become a symbol of the emergence of a “new India” that has the potential to save the world from all sorts of problems and tragedies. He described PM Narendra Modi as a ‘tapasvi’ who needs to be supported by every citizen. “Pradhan Mantri ji ne tap kiya ab humko bhi tap karna hai (The PM did penance. Now it is our turn),” he said.
Bhagwat said Ram Lalla has returned home because of the penance of a lot of people and I salute their hard work and sacrifices.
“But why did he (Ram) leave? He left because there were disputes (kalah) in Ayodhya. Ram Rajya is coming, and we have to shun all the disputes and stop fighting among ourselves over petty issues. We will have to shun ego and stay united,” he said.
“Knowing that there is Ram everywhere, we have to coordinate among ourselves. To stay together is the first true practice of religion,” he added. Compassion is the second step, Bhagwat said, asking people to keep the minimum of what they earn for themselves and give the remaining back to charity.
“This is the meaning of compassion. You should keep your desires under check. While government schemes are providing relief to the poor, we also must bind society as everyone is our brother. Wherever you see sorrow and pain, serve there,” he said.
He further asked people to lead a disciplined life.
Bhagwat said that a common citizen during Ram Rajya had no ‘ahankar (ego)’ and always behaved with “dignity”. “We need to behave in the same manner while maintaining close coordination with each other,” he emphasised.
“That will help the country become a Vishwaguru,” Bhagwat said. Bhagwat also invoked Mahatma Gandhi to suggest that one should adjust to other’s requirements and opinions. “Earth has everything for everyone’s needs, but it cannot satisfy everyone’s greed,” he said.
