AYODHYA: Talking about the universal appeal of Lord Ram, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said, “Ramlila artists from Indonesia who performed during Deepotsav were all Muslims.
A country with the world’s largest Muslim population still has a close relationship with Ram. Indonesians may have changed their way of worship, but they believe Ram was their ancestor.
And it’s a moment of pride that the capital of Suryavansh, Ayodhya, is touching new heights of development.” The chief minister was speaking on Wednesday at the concluding ceremony of Vishnu Shanti Mahayagya for progress and peace of the nation, organized by Maharishi Ved Vigyan Vidyapeeth in the temple town.
He said, Lord Ram is an incarnation of Vishnu and all Indians take pride in the tradition of Ayodhya, which is the nerve centre of Suryavansh. “Every one wants to be associated with this tradition and Ramlilas from many countries performed during Deepotsav at Ayodhya,” he said.
BJP's Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi, who also participated in the rituals, said the historic development of Ayodhya will realize the vision of Ram Rajya.
Later, CM Yogi shared his statement on Koo social media platform, where he wrote “Lord Rama never committed or tolerated injustice. And we will not commit any irreligious act or tolerate such acts. Previous governments pretended to be secular and turned away from India and Indianness. And it was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who dared to put India's point before the world. His work is commendable.”
In another post on Koo, he said, “When there was a false propaganda about the Vedas, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi boldly presented the real teachings of Vedas, episodes of Ramayana and quotes from Mahabharata on global forums.”
