After 500 Years of Struggle Returning of Shri Ram on 22nd January 2024 to the Grand Temple: Hosabale


On December 09, 2023, the book 'Ram Phir Laute' (‘Ram returned again’) highlighting the historic and glorious journey of the re-construction of Shri Ram Temple was released by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale ji, Gyananand ji Maharaj, Justice Hemant Gupta ji, VHP's International Working President Alok Kumar ji. The author of the book is senior journalist Hemant Sharma, and the book has been published by Prabhat Prakashan.


Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale ji said that Ram is Shubh (auspicious), Ram is Mangal (propitious), Ram is inspiration, and Ram is faith and conviction. He is not Murti (idol) of Dharma, but Vigrah or Dharma Himself, Dharma Manifest; the essence, the summum bonum of life; is at its initiation, is at its culmination or cosmic perfectand ion.


After 14 years of exile, Bhagwan Shri Ram returned first to the royal palace and now after 500 years of struggle returning on 22nd January 2024 to the grand temple of nativity being built at His place of incarnation (Avataran).


After this Shri Ram will return to the heart temples of the people. There was a movement for the liberation of the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi temple for national integration and reassertion of cultural nationalism.


Ram Temple is not just another temple or tourist centre, but a national centripetal and pivotal hub of pilgrimage. Shri Ram's Ayodhya means cultivation of ability, integrity, and humility and renunciation of sub-human nature, Ayodhya means democracy, Ayodhya means Maryada and dignity.
