After Bhoomi Pujan of grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Bhagwaan Ram is omnipresent, He belongs to everyone and is the source of India’s unity in diversity. PM Modi said, “There is no aspect of life where Ram does not inspire. Ram is in the faith of India; Ram is in the ideals of India. There is Ram in the divinity of India.”
Referring to the various sacred versions of Ramayana which are available, PM Modi said, “In the Valmiki Ramayana, Ram guided the ancient India thousands of years ago. During the middle ages, Ram strengthened India through Tulsi, Kabir and Nanak. The same Ram was present in Bapu's hymns as a power of non-violence and Satyagraha at the time of freedom struggle. Lord Buddha is also associated with Rama and Ayodhya, for centuries, has been a centre of Jainism. This omnipresence of Ram is the life character of unity in India's diversity!”
The Prime Minister remarked that Ram is everywhere and belongs to everyone. “Ram appears in different forms at different instances, but Ram is everywhere. Kamba Ramayana in Tamil, Raghunath and Ranganath Ramayana in Telugu, Ruipad-Katedapadi Ramayana in Odia, the Kumudendu Ramayana in Kannada. When we go to Kashmir, we find the Ramavatar Charit, we find the Ramacharitam in Malayalam. There is Krittivasi Ramayana in Bengali, Guru Gobind Singh has written Gobind Ramayana himself. Therefore, Ram is the source of India's unity in diversity.”
