Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday ceremonially hoisted a saffron flag on the top of the sacred Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya and said “centuries-long wounds are healing.”
“Centuries‑old wounds are healing, centuries of pain are coming to an end, and centuries of resolve are attaining fulfillment today,” Modi said at the Dhwajarohan (flag hoisting) celebration symbolising the completion of the temple’s construction and ushering in a new chapter of cultural celebration and national unity.
Addressing a gathering on the occasion, the Prime Minister said Ayodhya is witnessing yet another pinnacle of India’s cultural consciousness. “Today the entire India and the entire world is filled with the spirit of Lord Shri Ram”, remarked Modi, highlighting that in the heart of every devotee of Ram there is unique satisfaction, boundless gratitude, and immense transcendental joy.
“This marks the culmination of a yajna whose fire remained ignited for 500 years, a yajna that never wavered in faith, never broke in belief even for a moment,” he said. He underlined that today the infinite energy of Lord Shri Ram’s sanctum and the divine glory of Shri Ram’s family have been enshrined in the form of this Dharma Dhwaja in the most divine and grand temple.
“This Dharma Dhwaja is not merely a flag, but the flag of the renaissance of Indian civilization”, stressed Moi, explaining that its saffron color, the glory of the Solar dynasty inscribed upon it, the sacred Om depicted, and the engraved Kovidar tree symbolize the greatness of Ram Rajya.
He affirmed that this flag is resolve, this flag is success, this flag is the saga of creation through struggle, this flag is the embodiment of dreams carried forward for centuries, and this flag is the meaningful culmination of the penance of saints and the participation of society.
