As the nation watched the stay streaming of Sun rays illuminating the brow of Ram Lalla idol within the newly constructed Ayodhya temple on Ramnavami day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting in a helicopter, watched it on his iPad, 1100 kilometres away in Nalbari, Assam, after addressing an enormous election rally. For the primary time within the final 500 years, Ramnavami was celebrated in a grand temple constructed on the birthplace of Lord Ram.
PM Modi wrote on X, “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.” The beam of daylight was mirrored on the brow of Ram Lalla idol by way of a particular mirror-lens association, designed by astronomers on the Indian Institute of Astrophyics (IIA), Bengaluru, and it was put in within the temple by a workforce of scientists from Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee. The IIA workforce started designing the equipment three years in the past, and ready a four-mirror-and-four-lens array. The first mirror that obtained daylight at midday, was positioned at an angle alongside the trail of the solar rays.
The gentle was then mirrored to 3 different mirrors and after it handed by way of 4 lenses at desired depth, it was directed to the idol’s brow for 3 to 4 minutes. While the mirror directed the beams of sunshine, the lenses made them converge to the required depth. Millions of devotees of Lord Ram watched the Surya Tilak on their TV screens. Lord Shri Ram was born in a Suryavanshi dynasty, and the Surya Tilak was a historic second. This was a momentous mixture of conservation of our wealthy legacy and the marvel of recent science. Carrying out this on the proper second was not simple. The scientists needed to toil arduous to plan and create the equipment earlier than executing it. Ram Temple building committee chairman Nripendra Mishra stated, it was Prime Minister Modi’s thought for illuminating the idol’s brow on Ramnavami day. Modi’s plea was that since Lord Shri Ram was a Kshatriya belonging to Suryavanshi dynasty, it might be advisable for the Sun God to do the Surya Tilak of the idol’s brow. Modi didn’t depart it to the committee members.
He himself contacted scientists and astrophysicists in Maharashtra and Karnataka, and assigned them this accountability. The consequence: the world watched the Sun rays performing tilak of Lord Ram Lalla put in within the Garbha-griha of the temple. Konark Sun Temple in Odisha is one among a number of such temples, inbuilt a way the place the solar rays instantly fall on the principle idol. Needless to say, Indian architects and scientists of yore had scientific data of the right way to illuminate the idol inside a temple with Sun rays, as was accomplished by fashionable scientists on Ramnavami day. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath was busy in Gorakhpur, performing Kanya Pujan to mark the top of nine-day-long quick of Chaitra Navratri. Yogi described this 12 months’s Ramnavami as particular within the sense that it’s being held after a protracted wait of 500 years inside a temple. Samajwadi Party chief Ram Gopal Yadav spoiled the merriment by commenting that “performing worship inside temples is nothing however paakhand (hypocrisy).
Yadav stated, no matter occurring in Ayodhya appears to be inauspicious, as a result of the Ram Lalla idol was consecrated in a partially-built temple and BJP leaders try to reap political benefit out of it. Yadav claimed, he by no means went to a temple in his life, and all the time worshipped idols in his residence. One can perceive Ram Gopal Yadav’s unhappiness, as a result of BJP leaders are mentioning about how Ram temple was constructed and the idol put in after a niche of 500 years. BJP leaders are telling folks how Congress and Samajwadi Party boycotted the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya.
In reply, Yogi Adityanath stated, “in Sanatan Dharma, every morning begins with the word Ram, and when somebody’s life comes to an end, the word Ram is uttered. So where is the question of caste in this issue?” Yogi stated, Congress, SP and BSP practise double requirements. “Their leaders used to demand proof about the birthplace of Lord Ram, and now they say, Lord Ram belongs to one and all”, he stated. I feel, Yogi is true. Every Sanatani begins his morning with the identify of Lord Ram, and when one passes away, Ram Naam Sathya Hai is uttered by the pall-bearers. This has nothing to do with any caste. I used to be shocked when Ram Gopal Yadav described temple goers as “hypocrites”.
He holds PhD, M.Sc.(Physics) and MA (Political Science) levels. He has been a lecturer and Principal of a faculty in UP. He should know that India is a land of faiths. Has he forgotten that dharma is the premise of Indian tradition? Our temples are symbols of our wealthy heritage. Has he forgotten that hundreds of thousands of individuals in India go to temples and worship earlier than gods? Yadav has no proper to harm the feelings of individuals. If he’s looking for political benefit by making such a comment, as a way to make any part or group completely satisfied, then he’s mistaken. He and his occasion might must face monumental political loss in UP.
