Jaṭāyuḥ to Bajrangabali. A civilizational awakening.

Ram is not a person; he is not an unattainable or a removed God, nor a figment of imagination. Ram is a feeling, the ultimate truth, and an incarnation of Sree Vishnu to inculcate the concept of "Vishnu" in humans. Vishnu demonstrates that Abundance in the form of Goddess Lakshmi is one with a person who exercises his Dharma. In its simplest form, Dharma is adherence to one's duty while adhering to the highest standards of conduct. It is also the sheer will to complete one's duty, regardless of headwinds and circumstances.

It is believed and archeologically supported that Lord Ram of Ayodhya was born at 12:30 pm on January 10, 5114 BCE. Everyone who lived in Akanda Bharat at that time and their descendants should take pride in Ram and that our lineage and forefathers breathed the same air and perhaps even came in contact with the Uttam Purush, who never compromised his commitment to Dharma. There were no benign concepts such as religion, and every person who called Bharat their home believed in the same Dharma and was a Sanatani. When Ram ruled, he did not proselytize, write manuals for living, or call himself the messiah or the messenger; he merely showed how to live and lived as a Uttam Purush.

The great Vibhutis, such as Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj, continued their Dharmic duty and fought the raiders and barbarians. They stood for a cause greater than themselves. They fought for the protection of their motherland, "Bharat," their people, "Bhartiya," and their faith and way of living, "Sanathanam." They defended the faith with valor and resolve. Their successors may have had the resolve of Jaṭāyuḥ, but they did not have the strength of Hanuman or their fathers. We stood as a civilization with clipped wings and with remorse of defeat.

But then came a lineage of generations that either did not care or were incapable of the fight. We failed Ram for five hundred years and forgot that our Dharma says, "Veer Bhogya Vasundhara. The brave shall Inherit the Earth". We failed to fight for what was right and stand up for Dharma; we had essentially failed to act as Vishnu and gave up our commitment to Dharma for a life of subservience. Those five hundred years, including the seventy after the so-called independence' were the modern-day dark ages where our civilizational pride lay temporarily dead on the vine. Along with it, the King of Ayodhya, who gave up his kingdom and his family to show us the path of righteousness, lived unceremoniously in a Shack for 500 years after his abode was repeatedly destroyed for a thousand years, and his people were enslaved, raped, and plundered by barbaric invaders.

January 22, 2024, may be remembered as the consecration of Lord Sree Ram's temple. But it is much more than that.

It is the day of a civilizational awakening.

It is a day of repentance where we acknowledge our failures for five centuries since 1528.

It is a day when we acknowledge we will never put Bharat and its civilization in the path of alien invasion or internal submission.

It is a day of gratitude to Leaders such as Shree. Advani, Shree. Narendra Modi, Shree. Yogi Adityanath, the Karyakartas, the priests, the pandits, the historians like Shree. Meenakshi Jain, the legal luminaries such as Advocate K. Parasaran, and organizers such as Mahant Nritya Gopal Das. The scores of people like the Kothari brothers who gave everything towards the cause of reinstating the abode of Sree Ram - they are the modern-day Vibhutis, the brave ones who stood for their belief system when the world stood as headwinds.

It is the day we renew our commitment to Hanuman and strengthen our minds, bodies, willingness, resolve, intellect, and commitment to our Dharma and to Lord Ram. To become our own Sankata Mochana Yodhas "warriors who remove our problems", drawing inspiration from Hanuman, and emulating the Bajrangabali rather than stand as devoted but defeated Jaṭāyuḥ's.

January 22, 2024, will forever etched in the memories of India, irrespective of faith and religious affiliation. If you call India your motherland or land of origin, Ram is a matter of national pride.

It is a day of significant cosmic change and the day once glorious civilization returns to its grandeur.

Bharat is at the cusp of a civilizational awakening. The years of enslavement and the years of mental subservience are coming to an end. The era of leadership begins, with the rallying cry of "Veer Bhogya Vasundhara. The brave shall Inherit the Earth".

Bharat and its glory is here and here to stay, thrive, grow, and engulf the country and its people with pride.

Jay Shree Ram.
