Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted people on the occasion of Ram Navami on Wednesday and said Ayodhya is in incomparable bliss as this is the first time the festival is being celebrated there after the consecration of the Ram temple.
He also watched online the ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya following his Lok Sabha poll rally in Nalbari in Assam.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “After my Nalbari rally, I watched the Surya Tilak on Ram Lalla. Like crores of Indians, this is a very emotional moment for me. The grand Ram Navami in Ayodhya is historic. May this Surya Tilak bring energy to our lives and may it inspire our nation to scale new heights of glory.”
Greeting people, the prime minister said “The first Ram Navami after the Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya is a generational milestone, weaving together centuries of devotion with a new era of hope and progress. This is a day crores of Indians waited for,” Modi said in a series of posts on X. This is the fruit of the hardwork and sacrifices made by the people of the country over many years, he said.
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Lord Ram and the temple was recently consecrated at the place where he was born in Ayodhya.
Modi said, “May the blessings of Prabhu Shri Ram always remain upon us and guide our paths towards righteousness and peace, illuminating our lives with wisdom and courage.”
He said he feels overwhelmed and grateful on this occasion as he along with a large number of people in the country witnessed the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. Modi said the memories of that moment continue to pulsate within him with the same energy.
Lord Ram is deeply embedded in the hearts of Indians. Ram Navami is also a time to remember and respect those saints and devotees who dedicated their lives to the construction of the temple in Ayodhya, Modi said.
“I am confident that Maryada Purushottam Bhagwan Ram’s life and ideals will become a strong basis for constructing ‘Viksit Bharat’. His blessings will provide new energy to the resolve of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’,” the prime minister said.
