Saving Hindu Temples - 2 Ram Returns

Waiting for 500 years to exhale. That’s the feeling I can think of, now that Ram Mandir is now finally a reality at Ayodhya. This is not about the question of Hindus being able to build a temple for Lord Ram at his birthplace. This is not about a victory in courts. This one stroke is like wiping out wounds of ages that the Hindus have carried on their body and heart from centuries of invasion, plunder, destruction of their temples and a general goal of destruction of the Hindu culture itself. Today, Hindus shouldn’t worry about other temples and other issues related to temples right now. They should just quietly celebrate that a reversal of fortunes has happened and this journey of Hindu revival is not reversible.

We have to wonder how this issue of Ayodhya Ram Mandir came to such a pass that it had to drag on in courts for 62 years before Independence and another 70+ years after Independence. There has been no doubt in anyone’s mind that Babri Masjid (like many other Muslim shrines) was built over a temple. Even if it was a dispute for 430 years before Independence, it should have been settled once and for all immediately after Independence. Unfortunately, MK Gandhi installed a Hindu-hater as the PM. JL Nehru considered himself an “accidentally” born Hindu and culturally a Muslim. At the stroke of Independence, instead of liberating Hindu temples ravaged by Mughal murderers, Nehru and his Congress govts locked down the Babri complex in 1949. Since the idols appeared there, the priests were allowed to continue daily Puja service at the make-shift temple.

If the crime of Partition was difficult to swallow for millions of families there was a more serious crime by Gandhi and Nehru that has been inflicting wounds on this country forever. Pakistan was created on both sides of India but the Partition was not completed by a full exchange of populations. While Muslims largely got what can be called “Islamic States” on both sides of India, the Hindus were forced to accept a society that did not address its key concerns. If nothing else, the Partition should have come with the pre-condition that important holy sites of Hindus, including Ram Janmabhoomi and a few other temples should be handed over to Hindus. Even that important issue was not settled. The Kartarpur Sahib is just few kilometres from the border but no prudence was shown in keeping it on India’s side and now GOI spends crores for Sikhs to access.

Today, the final SC verdict allots Muslim a fresh plot to Muslims to rebuild their Babri Masjid. But the most important news is that Hindus will be allowed to build a Ram Mandir after creating a Trust by the Centre at the disputed spot and Ram Lalla will stay where He is:

There are many who sacrificed their lives fighting for Ram Mandir. This verdict brings to an end one of the most divisive and politically-abused issues for a long time. Passionate Hindus brought bricks from all over the country all these years as part of their Kar Sewa. At Godhra in Gujarat, 59 Kar Sewaks were burned to death which resulted in riots that changed the course of politics in this country. One hopes, there is no bitterness on the other side and the one group to blame most in this RJB dispute are the bastard Commies. With their lies, fake evidences, fake histories encouraged the Muslims to go up a garden path instead of being generous in surrendering that piece of land for the most important icon of Hindu religion and culture.

 

Ram and Krishna are not mere religious Gods or temples of devotion for Hindus. Ram and Krishna practically run through the lifeline of Hindus every single day. Whether morning, whether at work, whether at evening prayer or at festivals – Ram and Krishna are the foundations of Hindu life itself. This particular post was made in the sequence of Saving Hindu Temples series. Our quest is not over. This is only a beginning and our genuine battle to regain our lost culture and temples of Hindu Gods will continue. Today is a day of celebration.

JAI SHRI RAM!
