NEW DELHI: The heads of various religious organisations and spiritual figures on Friday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his decision to begin a special 11-day religious exercise preceding the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Chidanand Saraswati of Parmarth Niketan Ashram said Modi’s call has sparked all-round enthusiasm, adding that people should dedicate themselves to the national cause.”We are lucky to have a Prime Minister like him. The temple is coming up after 500 years of struggle and sacrifices,” he said in a message.
Swami Avdheshanand Giri, the head of Juna Akhara, said Modi’s announcement shows he is not only a rare administrator, but a peerless worshipper and noted that seers and several religious organisations have also taken up different rituals and programmes in the run-up to the temple consecration ceremony on January 22.
“Everyone should follow some religious exercise. The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ is for global brotherhood, harmony and happiness and that is why the Prime Minister has also begun the special religious exercise,” he said. In a statement, spiritual guru Sri M said every Indian should undertake some religious exercise and praised Modi’s decision.
A “havan” was also conducted in Haridwar by religious figures who prayed for the success of the PM’s resolve.
Shashikant Das Maharaj of ‘Saryu Maha Arti’ offered prayers for the success of Modi’s 11-day exercise and asserted that the construction of “rashtra mandir” is also sure to happen on Modi’s watch. “May Lord Ram fulfil Modi’s wishes for the country,” he said.
Swami Dipankar Maharaj of Deoband said blessings of all saints are with the PM in his resolve.
