My take on the Pran Pratishtha Ceremony of Shri Ram
So, the ceremony went ahead as planned. There were largely no disturbances or riot like situations in the nation. That is a big plus. Although, there was some issue in Mira Road, Mumbai, but that was dealt with by public initially, and then by the administration. Strong message has been sent to the perpetrators.
PM Modi did not mention Babur or Masjid or any sort of demolition in his speech. His speech was a constructive one which incited positive emotions. This signifies that it is time to look forward to the future and not delve into the past.
PS – Don’t forget the past, but at the same time don’t let it haunt you.
In his speech, PM Modi mentioned numerous times how it is a new era, a new ‘kaal chakra’, and how this day would be remembered for thousands of years to come. This speaks on the overall mentality/plan of the Government to establish Bharat as the Vishwaguru on the ideals of a Ram Rajya (not to be confused with a Hindu Raashtra – More on that later).
PM Modi did throw a subtle political jibe when he said how he is sorry that it took 500 years for Shri Ram to return to Ayodhya. The innocent way of apologising did make the listeners think about what the previous governments were doing.
Later he asked “shri Ram ka mandir toh bann gaya, ab aage kya? Sadiyon ka intezaar toh khatam ho gaya, ab aage kya?” I’ll tell you aage kya.
The polity of the world has been largely influenced by the Vatican and the Mecca. It is the apt time for a third axis – Ayodhya ji.
Jai Shree Ram
