‘Aaj, humare Ram aa gaye hain,’ the Prime Minister said as he began his address at the grand Ayodhya event, attended by thousands.
Here are the key quotes from PM Modi’s address:
‘Aaj, humare Ram aa gaye hain’
Addressing a gathering after the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony in the temple town, PM Modi said, “Today, our Ram has arrived. After a long wait for ages, our Ram has arrived.”
The Prime Minister broke his 11-day special anushthan after the pran pratishtha.
Ram Lalla will no longer live in a tent
“Lord Ram will no longer live in a tent but will now reside in a magnificent temple,” the Prime Minister said adding that people will remember this date, this moment even after thousands of years from now.
Still shaking from the spiritual experience
PM Modi, who offered ‘dandavat pranam’ to Lord Ram at grand Ayodhya temple, said he could still feel the divine vibrations he experienced during the consecration ceremony inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram temple.
Lord Ram will definitely forgive us today
Seeking forgiveness of Lord Ram for the delay in construction of the Temple, PM Modi said, “I apologize to Lord Shri Ram today. There must have been something lacking in our hard work, sacrifice and penance that we could not do this work for so many centuries. However, that gap has been bridged today. I believe Lord Ram will definitely forgive us today”.
PM Modi also thanked the Supreme Court which paved the way for the construction of the temple by delivering the verdict on November 9, 2019. “Ram’s existence was questioned … I would like to express my thanks to the Supreme Court for doing justice and the temple was built in accordance with the law,” he added.
The historic Pran Pratishtha ceremony was attended by representatives of all major spiritual and religious sects of the country. People from all walks of life including representatives of various tribal communities also attended the ceremony.
The magnificent Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir has been constructed in traditional Nagara style. Its length (east-west) is 380 feet; width 250 feet and height is 161 feet; and is supported by a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors.
The pillars and walls of the temple showcase intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities, gods, and goddesses.
