Udupi, Nov 15: "The situation today in Ayodhya is conducive to construct the Ram Mandir and everyone should come forward without showing laziness for this cause," said seer of Palimaru Math Sri Vidhyadheeshatheertha Swamiji.

Swamiji was speaking after inaugurating the office at the Yatri Nivas of Krishna math, of the 'Janagraha Sabhe', that is going to be held on December 2 by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), urging the construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. 

In his speech, Swamiji further opined, "During the abduction of Sita in Ramayana, people could have gone to Lanka to fight against Ravana directly through Tamil Nadu. However, Lord Ram went to Lanka through Karnataka. so the role of people of Karnataka is vital in the construction of Ram Mandir.

"Everyone’s wishing to build Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, which is the birthplace of Lord Ram. However, nobody knows how to convey this to the parliament. So all of us have to unite in the 'Janagraha Sabhe' on December 2 and express our opinion with regards to the construction of Ram Mandir. It is possible to build Ram Mandir in this way.

"When Sita was abducted Lord Ram could have fought alone against Ravana. However, he took the help of monkeys to build the bridge and gave them the opportunity to serve in the war at Lanka. Similarly, now we have the golden opportunity to build the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. We have to make good use of this," he added.

Speaking on the occasion, Vadiraj, joint convener of RSS, Mangaluru division said,"Hindus have conducted themselves so that the constitution is not violated. However, now the same framework of the constitution is being used to make a strategy to curtail the Hindu society. There should be one way thought in society. It has got value in the constitution also. Every Hindu has not fought publicly for the construction of Ram Mandir. However, he has fought only in his mind. The time has come to make the dream of the last 25 years of building Ram Mandir a reality,"

"As much as 50% work of the sculpture of idols of Gods is over. The next verdict of the Supreme Court also will be in the favour of the Hindu society. So the central government and all the political parties have to supplement the work of construction of Ram Mandir. This is the demand of the Hindu society,” he said.

‘Supreme court should consider the opinion of people’

"Supreme court should consider the opinion of people with regards to the construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya," said seer of Palimaru Math Sri Vidhyadheeshatheertha Swamiji.

Swamiji was speaking to the scribes on Wednesday, November 14. He further said, "Ayodhya Ram Mandir temple is expecting renovation. During this occasion, the Hindus should see that their opinion reaches the government and thereby join hands in the construction of the Ram Mandir.

"Ours is a democratic government. Here the citizens are the kings. The people who are ruling the country are also citizens. So whatever is there in the minds of the public should be proposed in the parliament."

"We believe that our country was ruled by Lord Ram. We offer pooja to Lord Ram, Krishna and Eshwar. All of these are places of reverence for us. Let an emergency bill be presented in the parliament with regards to the construction of the Ram Mandir. Let the Mandir be built lawfully. Our demand is that Ram Mandir should be constructed regardless of any political party occupying the power," the Swamiji added.

Dr Vyasaraja Tantri, medical director of Gandhi hospital, Hariappa Kotian, industrialist, Vilas Nayak, Bajrang zonal convener Sunil K R and district president Dinesh Mendon were present.

VHP secretary Pramod Shetty welcomed the gathering. The programme was compered by Bhagyashree Aithal.
