“Our Ram Lalla will no longer live in a tent, he will now live in a grand temple,” PM Modi said while addressing a gathering of nearly 8,000 people in the temple town, including eminent guests.
PM Modi said that January 22 will not just be a date in the calendar but will mark the beginning of a new era.
“Even after thousands of years people will remember this date and moment. It’s Ram’s supreme blessings that we are witnessing it,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that he would also like to apologise to Lord Ram for not being able to ealize the temple dream earlier.
“Today, I also apologise to Lord Shri Ram. There must be something lacking in our effort, sacrifice and penance that we could not do this work for so many centuries. Today the work has been completed. I believe that Lord Shri Ram will definitely forgive us today,” he said.
“All those who opposed the construction of Ram Temple, I want to appeal to them … Lord Ram is not fire, he is the source of energy … Lord Ram is not the problem, he is the solution,” PM Modi said.
I have firm belief and immense faith that today, the devotees of Lord Ram are completely absorbed in this historic moment…the devotees of Prabhu Ram, in every corner of the country and the world, are deeply feeling this…This moment is divine, this moment is the holiest of all
