"Supreme privilege to touch sacred dust of Ayodhya": President Murmu visits Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir

President Droupadi Murmu visits Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, describes it as a supreme privilege and links national goals to the ideal of Ram Rajya.

"supreme privilege to touch the sacred dust of Ayodhya - President Droupadi Murmu"

Ayodhya, March 19

President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday visited Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya and had darshan of Ram Lalla, also performing darshan and aarti at various places within the temple complex and conducting the Shri Ram Yantra Sthapana and Pujan, according to a release.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said it was her supreme privilege to touch the sacred dust of Ayodhya, the city where Prabhu Shri Ram was born. She described it as a truly blessed occasion to be present on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, marking the commencement of Samvatsar 2083 and the first day of Navratri.

The President said that the dates marking the Bhoomi Pujan of this supremely sacred Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the Pran Pratishtha of the divine idol of Ram Lalla here, the opening of the Ram Darbar for devotees, and the hoisting of the religious flag atop the temple's spire are golden in our history and culture.

President Murmu said the country is moving forward towards the creation of an inclusive society and a developed nation, and expressed confidence that with the blessings of Prabhu Shri Ram, these goals will be achieved by the year 2047, perhaps even sooner. She said the vision of an inclusive society and developed nation finds resonance in the description of Ram Rajya, citing Goswami Tulsidas's description that in Ram Rajya, no one is sorrowful, destitute, dependent on others, devoid of intellect, or lacking in moral values.

The President said that the ideal of Ram Rajya embodies the highest standards of economic prosperity and social harmony. Numerous instances of Prabhu Shri Ram's life exemplify the ideal of embracing an all-encompassing and all-inclusive philosophy of life. She was happy to note that in the contemporary context, national goals including social inclusion and economic justice have been set, and are being translated into action. She said that by adhering to the ideals of Ram Rajya, we will be able to build a nation founded upon morality and righteous conduct.

The President said that the renaissance of our country is taking place in all dimensions - economic, social, political and cultural.

The President said that citizens should move forward with the spirit of unity. She said that united by the sacred bond of devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram, and embracing a sense of kinship towards everyone, we should engage in nation-building.

While I respect the President's sentiments, I hope the ideal of 'Ram Rajya' she speaks about translates into tangible action for *all* citizens, ensuring no one is left behind. The vision of an inclusive society must be our true north star.

As someone living in India for work, it's fascinating to witness this deep cultural moment. The President connecting ancient ideals with modern national goals is a powerful narrative. Wishing peace and prosperity to all.

The sentiment is good, but let's be real. We need more than symbolic visits. Building a nation on "morality and righteous conduct" means tackling corruption, improving education, and creating jobs for the youth. That's the real seva.

Feeling emotional reading this. For generations, we only heard stories. Now, we have the temple and our leaders are invoking the true essence of Ram Rajya—prosperity, justice, and care for all. This is a proud chapter in our history. 🚩
