Earlier in a spirited address to the gathering at Ayodhya following the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Lord Ram, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath shared a moment of levity, stating, "Prime Minister Modi ji used to be the Prime Minister, but now he is playing Holi with more fervor, even in the sanctum sanctorum during the consecration of Lord Ram's idol."
Humorously reflecting on the words of the Prime Minister, Yogi Adityanath expressed, "Our leader has a unique way of expressing himself.
He has likened the atmosphere to the full moon of Jammu, translating our collective sentiments into a tangible reality with the installation of Lord Ram's divine idol."
Acknowledging the significance of the occasion, the Chief Minister remarked, "I feel a sense of satisfaction akin to the soul of Santosh Anand.
"The movie has, in a way, sacrificed itself as a public tradition, symbolizing a sacred journey that transcends the bounds of a mere structure."
Yogi Adityanath further delved into the cultural importance of Ayodhya, stating, "The entire world is witnessing the glory of Ayodhya. Ayodhya is not only becoming prestigious as the cultural capital but is also capturing the essence of Dharmanagari, unfolding a grand plan for its future."
Highlighting the transformative initiatives in Ayodhya, he added, "Earlier, the vision of four-lane roads within the city seemed improbable, but with the concerted efforts of the government, the 'double engine' model has brought about significant developments.
The city is witnessing progress with projects such as Ram Ji Ki Pedi Ghat, Surajkund, and conservation operations, reflecting a commitment to preserving our cultural traditions."
In a significant statement, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), emphasized the inclusive nature of the event, stating, "Representing all strata of society, today's gathering holds the right to describe it in words and attempt to convey its essence."
He acknowledged the efforts of previous speakers and highlighted the symbolic importance of the program, noting, "Today, Ramlala has become the symbol of relief from tragedy for Bharat Ka Vaibhav Laut Ke Aaja."
Addressing the nationwide impact of the event, Dr. Bhagwat commented, "This atmosphere is not limited to this venue alone; it resonates throughout the entire country.
Millions of our fellow citizens, from all walks of life, are tuning in to this program on Doordarshan in front of small temples, experiencing the enthusiasm that is permeating every household."
Reflecting on the dedication of the Prime Minister, he revealed, "Before the Pran Pratishtha Mahotsav, the Prime Minister observed a strict fast, surpassing the rigor he had urged others to maintain. Despite the challenges, he is undertaking all responsibilities single-handedly."
Dr. Bhagwat concluded on a thoughtful note, stating, "In such times of heightened enthusiasm, it is essential to be conscious in our expressions.
We have heard that this Pran Pratishtha Mahotsav is not just a celebration but a conscious effort, marked by the Prime Minister's stringent observance of a fast, showcasing his unwavering commitment to the cause."
Swami Govind Dev Giri, during the ceremony, highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment by stating, "We had requested Modi Ji to perform the rituals for 3 days, but he extended it to 11 days.
We suggested Ekabhakta, and he fasted for the entire duration. We advised sleeping on the ground for 3 days, and Modi Ji continued doing so for 11 days."
