Ayodhya, Nov 25 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Tuesday that Ayodhya is a realm where ideals transform into conduct and serves as a guide on how one evolves into 'Maryada Purushottam'.
"Ayodhya is the holy land where ideals become actions. This is the city from which Lord Shri Ram initiated His life’s journey. Ayodhya has shown the world how an individual, through societal strength and ingrained values, becomes 'Maryada Purushottam'," PM Modi remarked while addressing the devotees at the Ram Temple premises.
"When Shri Ram departed from Ayodhya, he was Prince Ram, but upon his return, he emerged as Maryada Purushottam. The transformation of Lord Ram into 'Maryada Purushottam' was significantly influenced by Maharishi Vashistha’s wisdom, Maharishi Vishwamitra’s teachings, Maharishi Agastya’s guidance, Goddess Ahalya, Nishadraj Guha’s friendship, and Mata Shabari’s love. All these elements, among countless others, played crucial roles," he added.
"To create a Viksit Bharat, we need this very collective strength of society. I am thrilled that the divine grounds of the Ram Temple are evolving into a hub for awakening India’s collective potential," he continued.
Discussing the Sapt Mandir, PM Modi noted, "The Sapt Mandir has been established here. Mata Shabari’s Temple symbolizes the warmth and traditions of the tribal community. The Nishadraj Temple signifies profound friendship. Furthermore, the temples of Maharishi Vashistha, Maharishi Vishwamitra, and Maharishi Agastya are also present here."
"I encourage everyone visiting Ayodhya to also explore the Sapt Mandir. These temples, alongside our faith, reinforce the principles of friendship, duty, and social harmony," he urged.
Reiterating his commitment to building a 'Viksit Bharat', PM Modi expressed, "Over the past eleven years, women, Dalits, backward classes, extremely backward classes, tribal communities, the underprivileged, farmers, laborers, and youth have been prioritized in our developmental initiatives... Together, by 2047 -- the centenary of our independence -- we must establish a 'Viksit Bharat'."
