Before writing a single word I ChatGpt the word ‘benefit of Ram temple' and found that everything possible has been explained. Few important points given are;
Writing has been taken over by artificial intelligence (AI). I meditated upon the issue to find out what can be the manifestation of the universe in this mega event taking place now. The sweat and toil of Hindus has created this moment. They revolted and fought 76 battles against the invaders who destroyed the original temple and recorded this gleefully in their memoirs. Not only once but for generations they kept on destroying and recording their dastardly deeds. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari Kumari, from Puri to Somnath they did not spare any reachable temple. They named themselves ‘ butshikan’ which means destroyer of the statues. So gloomy was the era that we lost the name ‘Bharat’ to Hindostaan and India.
Neither Mathura nor Kashi nor Martand sun temple could escape the destruction..
More I deliberated, the more I found that the Kaal ( time) is changing. It is not only changing in Ayodhya but it is changing in the homeland of the invaders as well.
The prime minister is not only inaugurating the temple at Ayodhya but he is also doing the same in Dubai where no agitation has taken place. No court case has been filed or won.
“PM Modi accepts an invitation to inaugurate Abu Dhabi's Hindu temple.Designed to resemble a blossoming lotus flower, the BAPS Sanstha temple in Abu Dhabi will be the largest Hindu temple in the United Arab Emirates.”

The most stanch promoter of Islam Saudi Arabia is talking about reforms ?
“I will return Saudi Arabia to moderate Islam, says crown prince Mohammed bin Salman tells the Guardian that ultra-conservative state has been ‘not normal’ for the past 30 years.” Tue 24 Oct 2017 19.24 BST
The next thought which came to mind is, “ RAM has no problem with exile”. He happily accepted exile but what is not acceptable to Ram, is exploitation, cruelty and anarchy.
As per Valmiki Ramayan, the plight of the rishis in Dandakaranya moved him so much that he took a pledge to annihilate asuras. Maa Seeta tried to sensitize him against indulging in absolute violence that too, in exile when he is not the king. What amazes me is the clarity, despite respecting her opinion Ram explained to her that a kshatriya ( Hindu varna for fighting injustice ) keeps a bow to ensure nobody cries of pain in his vicinity. He further adds that violence committed to eliminate violence is non violence. The saying holds good even today as a soldier gets a medal for killing the enemy. Lord Krishna takes it to the next level when he tells Arjun that he will go to heaven if died fighting against ‘adharma’ ( injustice in general terms) else he will enjoy being king.
हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम्।
तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय: ॥2.37
Hato vaa praapsyasi swargam jitwaa vaa bhokshyase maheem; Tasmaad uttishtha kaunteya yuddhaaya kritanishchayah.
Slain, thou wilt obtain heaven; victorious, thou wilt enjoy the earth; therefore, stand up, O son of Kunti, resolved to fight.
The only sad part is that it has taken 500 years to see the adharma of destroying Ram temple being set right. The temple will be a homage to all saints, public, kings, soldiers, Sikh gurus, martyrs,plaintiffs, advocates and judges who contributed to the cause of justice.
The temple will reinforce the quote in the national emblem, “ Satyamev Jayate’.
Mahatma Gandhi built the freedom movement to bring ‘Ram Rajya’ but he himself eliminated the possibility when he rejected the mandate given to Sardar patel to become prime minister of india by congress working committee and imposed Nehru instead. A pseudo secular Nehru tried his level best to stop reconstruction of Somnath temple but failed. Yet his apathy to revive Indian culture led to India becoming a tourist destination for seeing ruins of Nalanda, Martand sun temple, Mehrauli in the capital and so on. Deviation from the niti of Ram rajya led to loss of Kashmir ( POK), meek looking the other way during accession of Tibet by China despite providing asylum to Dalai Lama and thousands of his followers Tibetans. The destiny punished us in the form of a humiliating defeat and loss of thousands of kilometers of our land including Kailash Mansarovar. The prodigy of Bapu kept on trying to explain to the nation that a blade of grass does not grow there. The grandson prime minister normalized the relationship with the invader China without recovering an inch of our land. The embolden China is claiming Arunachal Pradesh as well and issues warnings against development there. It is a pity that our borders with Pakistan and China are called the Line of Control ( LOC) and Line of Actual Control ( LAC). A massive belt and road is built by China which passes through Pak occupied Kashmir. The worst part is that the Indian chief ministers of Kashmir kept on saying in the media that India can not take back POK. They never demanded POK back nor created a public movement for the freedom of POK on the other hand they ignored the anti india movement of jihadis, ethical cleansing of Hindus did not perturbed them.
On the extreme south SIMI,PFI,HUJI created havoc. The wounds are still bleeding. Recently the court has punished a few more guilty terrorists.
“Two more get death penalty for 2005 Shramjeevi Express train blast”

One is puzzled about what ails these jihadis to become terrorists and kill innocent people despite enjoying far better incentives in India then the community in majority.The answer is simple: our meek response to handle these issues is the cause. They bleed us with one wound and start preparing to inflict the next one.Instead of using the long hand of law to eliminate these forces the state machinery tried to paint a picture of Hindu terror. It never attempted to control the rogues who were challenging the sovereignty of our nation.
Despite all these odds and apathy ordinary Indians which included sadhus, kings as well, fought against brutal invaders to reclaim Ram janm bhumi on one hand while a meek political leadership of the independent India surrendered The construction of Ram janmbhumi temple again will reinforce the faith in future generations that India stands for claiming its right to worship, pursue its religion without fear. We have opted to be peaceful by choice yet we are ready to fight legally, through persuasion or in the language which the enemy understands. The chanting of the simple phrase ‘glory to Ram’ ( Shree Ram) has sent chills in the spines of jihadis and their supporters. This has happened despite God Ram being Maryada purushottam and Gandhi wanting to bring Ram Rajya. The two surgical strikes in Pakistan and strong resistance to Chinese misadventure at Doklam is proof of changing Indian mindset.
Public leading the leaders.
Ram janmabhoomi movement is one where the public has led the leadership. From the appearance of Ram Lalla in the disputed premise, the opening of the gate or the shilanyas, public opinion influenced the leadership as well as the court.The merging of all suits in one case and hearing of the same, is the outcome of the relentless perusal by the public. The final verdict also used faith as the cornerstone.
The peaceful campaign for raising funds to rebuild the Ram temple has become a case study at Harvard business school and it is heartening to note that the study was sourced by Indian institutes of management Bengaluru ( IIMB). Again what hurts most is that the same movement is being accused as violent hindutva by our own media. Why does the lutiyon media have so much keen interest in human rights of jihadi and absolute apathy towards peace loving, nation building, tax paying public.
Protests and accusations.
Few sankaracharya and opposition leaders have questioned the hurry in the inauguration of Ram temple. Few people are crying foul for not being invited. Some are calling it a political gimmick to win elections. Even if we assume that everybody is right then the million dollar questions are seeking answers from these learned souls.
● Why did you miss the bus?
● Why did you choose to deny the existence of Ram?
● Why did you not take initiative?
● Why did you not create a movement?
● Why didn't you exploit the opportunity to unite the nation?
● Lastly, opportunity is still knocking at the door! The nation feels insulted when one has to seek a Chinese visa to visit our own Kailash Mansarovar, the abode of lord shiva. Create a mass movement, mobilize the United Nations. Make movies, write books or do anything meaningful and take credit.
To take advantage of the Ram janm bhumi movement.
The Ram temple movement has inspired the nation and united it for good. It is high time that this enthusiasm should be used to build a modern India on equity and respect. Appeasement of all types should vanish. Time has come when the saints and their disciples should focus on creating a movement to free Kailash Mansarovar. Helpless Dalai Lama has shown that the might of a superpower can be challenged with peaceful satyagraha and restless China is proof that it is possible. Opening of Kartar pur corridor where our Sikh brother can visit for pilgrimage without visa from Pakistan is another milestone. The Indian government has made a good beginning in reviving the Kailashm Mansarovar yatra.
Indians can visit Mount Kailash from September, road building work underway PTI july 21 2023.
The invasion and atrocities inflicted on india for last thousand years have taught one lesson,” creating wealth is suicidal if you have no strength to protect it”.
Bharat that was india needs to develop it’s might to reclaim all illegally occupied areas,
It has to develop the will to protect its own border along with protecting our weak neighbors who are looking towards Bharat.
We have to live upto the pledge taken by maryada purushottam Ram that nobody should cry of pain. Time to play a bigger role in world politics.
