The grand ‘Ram Mandir’ in Ayodhya will become a ‘Rashtra Mandir’ and a “symbol of India’s Unit” said the chief minister Yogi Adityanath while laying the first stone of the sanctum sanctorum on June 2.
Second phase of the temple is under construction
Yogi performed puja and led the foundation of sanctum sanctorum at an austere ceremony amid chanting of Vedic hymns to mark the second phase of the Ram temple construction. The sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Mandir is likely to be thrown open for the devotees by the end of 2023.
Yogi said, “ It is very special day for the construction of Ram temple, it has came after 500 years of wait, ending the agony of devotees. A continuous “sadhna” (struggle) turning into “siddhi”(success).
He stated, “It will not only be a ‘rastra mandir’ but will also became the force to bind the nation in one thread under PM Modi’s ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ campaign”.
The chief minister said India’s faith was attacked by invaders. Now, in the end, India has won.” “Once again the slogan of Satyameva Jayate (Truth wins) has proved its significance,” he said. The “victory” has been achieved through the path of “Dharma, Truth and Justice”, he added. The struggle of seers and leaders like (Vishva Hindu Parishad’s) Ashok Singhal and the efforts of lakhs of workers associated with the RSS seem to have taken shape today. The day gives new inspiration that if we always move on the path of righteousness, truth and justice, nobody can stop us from winning.” He said the construction will now proceed at a fast pace.
Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram temple will be built soon
The temple of Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram will be built in Ayodhya soon and will become a symbol of faith of all Sanatan devotees in the country and the world. The Ram Janmabhoomi temple will be the symbol of India’s unity. Earlier, Deputy CM Maurya said the first phase of the Ram temple construction is complete and the second phase begins now. He called it a day of great happiness for Ram devotees.
Temples and ‘maths’ in the holy town were decorated with flowers and lights to mark the day. Acharya Satyendra Das, the temple’s chief priest, said there was enthusiasm all over the country over this moment.
“Since the construction work of the temple started, it has been the hope of the devotees to be able to see the grand temple. Now, they can see the grand construction of the temple in a few days, he said.
