‘Ram’s Return Brought Back India’s Pride’: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Praises PM Modi for Doing ‘Vrat like Tapasvi’

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, in his address on Monday, called the pran pratishtha of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya a “golden moment for India”.

“With Lord Ram’s return in Ayodhya, India’s pride has also returned. This is the rise of new Bharat… PM Narendra Modi observed the vrat like a tapasvi. He followed Ram’s path. It symbolises the start of New India…,” he said.

“There is enthusiasm in every part of the country…We can’t forget the sacrifices of those who made this day possible. We salute them,” he said.

“This occasion brings along a lot of responsibilities. We have to put an end to all conflicts…We have to bring Ram Rajya now…The four principles of religion are satya, karuna, suchita, tapas. We must implement it as per the current times. Satya says Ram is everywhere. We must maintain balance with everyone. Coordination is key. Karuna means kindness, we must serve humanity, be kind, have patience…Give back to society. Keep ourself in control and respect others’ opinion. Apne desh ko vishwa guru banana hai…,” he said.

“Citizens must exercise discipline and restraint. Tapas is needed for purification of society. PM Modi did his tap, now it is our turn,” he said.

The “entry” of Ram Lalla in his birth place in Ayodhya and the temple’s ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony will be the beginning of the campaign for “reconstruction of Bharatvarsh” which is for harmony, unity, progress, peace and well-being of everyone, Bhagwat had said on Sunday. In an article posted on the RSS website, Bhagwat referred to the “continuous struggle of the Hindu society” for the construction of the temple in Ayodhya and said the “conflict and bitterness” over the dispute should now come to an end.
