NEW DELHI: A day ahead of the Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, President Droupadi Murmu wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that the “nationwide celebratory atmosphere … is an uninhibited expression of the eternal soul of India”.
The President also commended the PM for undertaking an “11-day rigorous Anushthan“, which she said is “not only a sacred ritual but also a supreme spiritual act of sacrifice and submission to Prabhu Shri Ram”.
“As you [PM Modi] prepare yourself to go for the Pran Pratishtha of Prabhu Shri Ram’s murti at the new temple built in His birthplace, Ayodhya Dham, I can only contemplate the unique civilisational journey that will be accomplished with each step taken by you in the hallowed precincts,” she wrote.
“As you head to Ayodhya Dham, I send my heartfelt wishes to you … The universal values that Prabhu Shri Ram represents, such as courage, compassion and constant focus on duty, will be taken closer to the people through this magnificent temple,” she added.
The President said Prabhu Shri Ram signifies the “best aspects of our cultural and spiritual heritage”.
“Above all, He represents the good which is in constant battle with evil. His life and principles have influenced many episodes of our history and inspired nation-builders,” the President said, adding: “Mahatma Gandhi Ji derived strength from Ramanama till his last breath. ‘Though my reason and heart long ago realised the highest attribute and name of God as Truth, I recognise Truth by the name of Rama. In the darkest hour of my trial, that one name has saved me and is still saving me’ he had said.”
President Murmu said that Lord Ram’s message of treating everyone with love and dignity, irrespective of their social background, also appealed to the intellect of path- breaking thinkers.
“His focus on justice and welfare of the people, too, is reflected in the governance outlook of our country. In fact, as an illustration of this, you [PM Modi] recently released the first installment of various benefits to the people of vulnerable tribal communities under the PM-JANMAN initiative. It was heartening to see you invoke Mata Shabari in your address on that occasion as well. Indeed, she would be doubly happy to see Prabhu Shri Ram’s temple as well as the welfare of the people,” said the President.

Prabhu Shri Ram is an embodiment of all that is good about this land of ours indeed, about humanity at large. May He guide the world on the right path; may He bring peace and bliss to one and all! Siyavar Ramachandra Ki Jai!,” President Murmu wrote.
