It is with immense joy and pride that I share with you the eagerly anticipated moment—the grand opening of the Sriram Temple in Ayodhya, India. This event is not just a celebration of architectural magnificence but a testament to the rich cultural heritage and unwavering resilience of the Hindu community. As Sriram, the revered deity, is worshipped in over 12 countries across Asia, the inauguration of this sacred temple transcends local boundaries, evolving into a global celebration.
As the countdown to the momentous occasion begins, the excitement resonates across India and beyond. Worldwide support pours in, with esteemed guests of honor joining the growing list daily. The sale of crackers has reached historic heights, eclipsing even the jubilation of Diwali. The air is thick with anticipation as we approach the 22nd of January 2024, at 12:20 pm, a time when India will witness the grand unveiling of the Lord Srirama Temple in Ayodhya—a historic event that promises to etch a new chapter in the nation's cultural history. We all were not present 8000 years ago, but today Ayodhya City comes back to life,
This celebration extends beyond the mere inauguration of the temple. Ayodhya, already a symbol of cultural significance, is set to become even more iconic with the addition of an 823-feet tall statue of Sri Lord Ram. This awe-inspiring tribute stands as a monumental representation of the unwavering devotion of the people, turning Ayodhya into a symbol of reverence and cultural richness. Furthermore, Sri Ram Land, a dedicated educational space, aims to enrich visitors with the profound history and teachings associated with Lord Rama, promising to elevate the spiritual experience for all who visit.
In a visionary move towards sustainability, Ayodhya is embracing the power of the sun. Inspired by Lord Rama's lineage as a descendant of the Sun, the entire city will transition to solar power for illumination. This is not just a technological shift but a spiritual connection, setting an inspiring example for cities worldwide and urging them to adopt cleaner, greener energy sources.
The significance of Lord Sriram transcends time and borders. A symbol of Dharma (righteousness), Lord Sriram's commitment to justice, honesty, and integrity serves as an eternal inspiration. The construction of the Sriram Temple, therefore, is not merely a reflection of architectural prowess but a cultural resurgence—a poignant reminder of enduring values that transcend temporal and geographical boundaries.
The importance of having a dedicated temple for Lord Sriram cannot be overstated. The temple becomes a sacred haven where devotees can connect with the divine, seeking guidance and strength from a figure who epitomizes virtue. It serves as a cultural anchor, grounding communities in their shared heritage and fostering a profound sense of unity and belonging.

For over 500 years, Hindus have faced challenges and endured the pain of displacement, cultural shifts, and political upheavals. The construction of the temple has been a collective dream that has withstood the test of time, reflecting the unwavering faith and resilience of the Hindu community.
This historic moment is not only a celebration for India but a global acknowledgment of cultural richness. Sriram's worship in over 12 countries in Asia signifies the universality of his teachings and the resonance of his virtues with people of diverse backgrounds.
As we stand on the brink of witnessing the inauguration of the Sriram Temple, let us not just celebrate an architectural marvel but a cultural renaissance. May this sacred space inspire individuals worldwide to embody the virtues of Sriram and contribute to a world guided by righteousness, compassion, and unity. Everyone is welcome to witness the prosperous and new India that emerges from this momentous occasion.

Not to forget: Whenever I met the Hon. Prime Minister of India, he emphasized that I am a global ambassador, a role I am honored to retain always. "Jai Sriram."
