Ram Temple Was Result Of Struggle Of Three Decades: Mohan Bhagwat
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Apr 11: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya was the culmination of struggle and sacrifices of 30 years.
The entire country was overwhelmed when the idol of Ram Lalla was consecrated, he said, speaking at the inauguration of the Dattaji Bhale Smriti Samiti Karyalaya here.
โPeople donated money for the construction of the Ram temple. It was because of the struggle of 30 years (that the temple was built)โฆWe had wanted a temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi for 500 years. People were ready to donate, and the entire country was overwhelmed when the temple was inaugurated (in January 2024),โ Bhagwat said in his speech.
โTapasya (penance/struggle) and `samarpanโ (dedication and sacrifices) of many people led to this,โ the Sangh chief added.
He also said that Indiaโs stature has risen globally in the last few years, and its legacy and culture are getting acceptance. Time has come to bring about good changes in every personโs life, he added.
Bhagwat also remarked that those who experience happiness when โachche dinโ come about need not have seen the hard work that has gone into it. โLot of hard work has gone into the countryโs progress and development. Selfless people work hard without thinking about results. They want results even though they would not come in their lifetime,โ Bhagwat added.
Doing hard work without yearning for results is `tapasyaโ, and it brings lasting prosperity and happiness, he said. (Agencies)
