President Droupadi Murmu stated today that the nation is experiencing a renaissance across social, economic, political, and cultural fronts, and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya is a symbol of this. She was addressing a gathering at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, this morning. She is on a 3-day visit to the state.
The President performed darshan and aarti at various locations within the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir and participated in the Shri Ram Yantra Sthapana event. The Shri Ram Yantra was installed today on the temple's second floor, amidst Vedic chants. Addressing the gathering, the President said that the emotions and feelings are the same whether we pray for the country or for Lord Rama.
She said that on this occasion, we should all take an oath in the city of Lord Rama, Ayodhya, that we will take our country to the highest levels. Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that today's India is not just a new India, but also a changing India. He said that in the last 1 year, around 158 crore devotees have visited different temples in the state. He said that the young generation today is more inclined towards visiting religious places.
The President also felicitated the workers involved in the temple's construction. Spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi also participated in the function along with various saints from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The Shri Ram Yantra, which was worshipped today, was brought to Ayodhya two years ago, and it was donated by the Kanchi Kamakoti Peeth. Based on Vedic mathematics and geometric patterns, the 'yantra' is considered a sacred symbol believed to channel divine energy and positive spiritual vibrations.
