PM dedicates to the nation 216-feet tall ‘Statue of Equality’ commemorating Sri Ramanujacharya

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi dedicated to the nation the ‘Statue of Equality’ in Hyderabad today. The 216-feet tall Statue of Equality commemorates the 11th century Bhakti Saint Sri Ramanujacharya, who promoted the idea of equality in all aspects of living including faith, caste and creed. Governor Telangana  Smt Tamilisai Soundararajan, Union Minister Shri G. Kishan Reddy were among those present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion the Prime Minister greeted everyone on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami and expressed happiness on dedication of the statue on such a pious occasion.   He said “India is giving concrete shape to India’s human energy and inspirations through this grand statue of Jagadguru Sri Ramanujacharya. This statue of Sri Ramanujacharya is a symbol of his wisdom, detachment and ideals.”

The Prime Minister participated in the ‘Purnahuti’ of ‘Vishwaksena Ishti Yagya’. The Yagya is for fulfilment of resolutions and goals. The Prime Minister offered the ‘sankalpa’ of the Yagya for the ‘Amrit’ Sankalp of the country and dedicated the yagya to 130 crore countrymen.

The Prime Minister recalled the Indian tradition of its scholars that views knowledge above  rebuttal and acceptance-rejection. “If we have ‘advait’ then we have ‘dvait’ too and we also have Sri Ramanujacharya’s ‘Vishishtadvaita’ that encompasses both ‘davit-advait’”, said the Prime Minister. He noted that along with the pinnacle of gyan in Sri Ramanujacharya, he is the founder of Bhakti Marg too. One the one hand he is a saint of rich ‘Sanyaas’ tradition, he presents the importance of action in Gita Bhashya, on the other. The Prime Minister continued “In today's world, when it comes to social reforms, progressivism, it is believed that reforms will take place away from the roots. But, when we see Ramanujacharya ji, we realize that there is no conflict between progressiveness and antiquity. It is not necessary to go far from your roots for reforms. Rather it is necessary that we connect with our real roots, become aware of our real power.”

The Prime Minister elaborated on the link between the current measures and the wisdom of our saints. Sri Ramanujacharya made the country familiar with the real concept of social reforms and worked for Dalits and backwards. He said, today Sri Ramanujacharya is giving us the message of equality in the form of a grand Statue of Equality. Going along with this message, today the country is laying the foundation of its new future with the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas'. The Prime Minister emphasized that India, today, is working collectively for development of all without discrimination; social justice for all so that those who have been oppressed for centuries become partner with full dignity in the development of the country. Schemes like Pucca houses, Ujjwala connections, free medical treatment upto 5 lakh or the free electricity connections, Jan Dhan accounts, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan have strengthened Dalits, backwards and deprived.

The Prime Minister called Sri Ramanujacharya a ‘shining inspiration for the unity and integrity of India’. “He was born in the South, but his influence is on the whole of India from South to North and East to West”, he said.

The Prime Minister stressed that India's freedom struggle was not just a fight for its power and its rights. In this fight there was a 'colonial mindset' on one side, and the idea of 'live and let live' on the other. On the one hand, it was a hysteria of racial superiority and materialism, on the other hand it was a belief in humanity and spirituality. And in this battle India and its tradition were victorious, he said. “Indian Freedom struggle was blessed with the energy of equality, humanity and spiritualism that it received from the saints”, he added.

Referring to Hyderabad connection of Sardar Patel, the Prime Minister said “if Sardar Sahib's 'Statue of Unity' is repeating the oath of unity in the country, then Ramanujacharya's 'Statue of Equality' is giving the message of equality. This is the specialty of India as a nation.”

The Prime Minister elaborated on the richness of the Telugu culture and how it has enriched India’s diversity. He recalled the long traditions of kings and queen who were torchbearers of this rich tradition.  In the context of rejuvenation and recognition of India’s places of faith, the Prime Minister talked about 13th century Kakatiya Rudreshwara Ramappa temple being declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Pochampalli being recognized as India’s best tourism village  by the World Tourism Organization.

The Prime Minister noted the glorious contribution of the Telugu film industry which is making its presence felt globally and much beyond Telegu speaking areas.  “This creativity is reigning on silver screen and OTT platforms. It is being praised even outside India. This dedication of Telugu speaking people towards their art and culture is an inspiration for all”, the Prime Minister added.

The Statue is made of ‘panchaloha’, a combination of five metals: gold, silver, copper, brass, and zync and is among one of the tallest metallic statues in sitting position, in the world. It is mounted on a 54-ft high base building, named ‘Bhadra Vedi’, has floors devoted for a Vedic digital library and research centre, ancient Indian texts, a theatre, an educational gallery detailing many works of Sri Ramanujacharya. The statue has been conceptualised by Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami of Sri Ramanujacharya Ashram.

During the programme, 3D Presentation Mapping on the life journey and teaching of Sri Ramanujacharya was showcased. Prime Minister visited the identical recreations of 108 Divya Desams (ornately carved temples) that surround the Statue of Equality. 

Sri Ramanujacharya worked tirelessly for the upliftment of people with the spirit of every human being equal regardless of nationality, gender, race, caste or creed. The inauguration of the Statue of Equality is a part of the 12-day Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi Samaroham, the ongoing 1000th birth anniversary celebrations of Sri Ramanujacharya.

आज मां सरस्वती की आराधना के पावन पर्व, बसंत पंचमी का शुभ अवसर है। मां शारदा के विशेष कृपा अवतार श्री रामानुजाचार्य जी की प्रतिमा इस अवसर पर स्थापित हो रही है। मैं आप सभी को बसंत पंचमी की विशेष शुभकामनाएं देता हूं: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

जगद्गुरु श्री रामानुजाचार्य जी की इस भव्य विशाल मूर्ति के जरिए भारत मानवीय ऊर्जा और प्रेरणाओं को मूर्त रूप दे रहा है। रामानुजाचार्य जी की ये प्रतिमा उनके ज्ञान, वैराग्य और आदर्शों की प्रतीक है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

भारत एक ऐसा देश है, जिसके मनीषियों ने ज्ञान को खंडन-मंडन, स्वीकृति-अस्वीकृति से ऊपर उठकर देखा है। हमारे यहाँ अद्वैत भी है, द्वैत भी है। और, इन द्वैत-अद्वैत को समाहित करते हुये श्रीरामानुजाचार्य जी का विशिष्टा-द्वैत भी है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

एक ओर रामानुजाचार्य जी के भाष्यों में ज्ञान की पराकाष्ठा है, तो दूसरी ओर वो भक्तिमार्ग के जनक भी हैं। एक ओर वो समृद्ध सन्यास परंपरा के संत भी हैं, और दूसरी ओर गीता भाष्य में कर्म के महत्व को भी प्रस्तुत करते हैं। वो खुद भी अपना पूरा जीवन कर्म के लिए समर्पित करते हैं: PM — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

ये जरूरी नहीं है कि सुधार के लिए अपनी जड़ों से दूर जाना पड़े। बल्कि जरूरी ये है कि हम अपनी असली जड़ो से जुड़ें, अपनी वास्तविक शक्ति से परिचित हों: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

आज जब दुनिया में सामाजिक सुधारों की बात होती है, प्रगतिशीलता की बात होती है, तो माना जाता है कि सुधार जड़ों से दूर जाकर होगा। लेकिन, जब हम रामानुजाचार्य जी को देखते हैं, तो हमें अहसास होता है कि प्रगतिशीलता और प्राचीनता में कोई विरोध नहीं है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

आज रामानुजाचार्य जी विशाल मूर्ति Statue of Equality के रूप में हमें समानता का संदेश दे रही है। इसी संदेश को लेकर आज देश ‘सबका साथ, सबका विकास, सबका विश्वास, और सबका प्रयास’ के मंत्र के साथ अपने नए भविष्य की नींव रख रहा है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

विकास हो, सबका हो, बिना भेदभाव हो। सामाजिक न्याय, सबको मिले, बिना भेदभाव मिले। जिन्हें सदियों तक प्रताड़ित किया गया, वो पूरी गरिमा के साथ विकास के भागीदार बनें, इसके लिए आज का बदलता हुआ भारत, एकजुट प्रयास कर रहा है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

रामानुजाचार्य जी भारत की एकता और अखंडता की भी एक प्रदीप्त प्रेरणा हैं। उनका जन्म दक्षिण में हुआ, लेकिन उनका प्रभाव दक्षिण से उत्तर और पूरब से पश्चिम तक पूरे भारत पर है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

इसमें एक ओर, ये नस्लीय श्रेष्ठता और भौतिकवाद का उन्माद था, तो दूसरी ओर मानवता और आध्यात्म में आस्था थी। और इस लड़ाई में भारत विजयी हुआ, भारत की परंपरा विजयी हुई: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

भारत का स्वाधीनता संग्राम केवल अपनी सत्ता और अपने अधिकारों की लड़ाई भर नहीं था। इस लड़ाई में एक तरफ ‘औपनिवेशिक मानसिकता’ थी, तो दूसरी ओर ‘जियो और जीने दो’ का विचार था: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

आज देश में एक ओर सरदार साहब की ‘Statue of Unity’ एकता की शपथ दोहरा रही है, तो रामानुजाचार्य जी की ‘Statue of Equality’ समानता का संदेश दे रही है। यही एक राष्ट्र के रूप में भारत की विशेषता है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

पिछले वर्ष ही तेलांगना में स्थित 13वीं शताब्दी के काकातिया रूद्रेश्वर -रामाप्पा मंदिर को यूनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल घोषित किया गया है। वर्ल्ड टूरिज्म ऑर्गनाइजेशन ने पोचमपल्ली को भी भारत के सबसे बेहतरीन Tourism Village का दर्जा दिया है: PM @narendramodi — PMO India (@PMOIndia) February 5, 2022

भारत माता की जय...भारत माता की जय...भारत माता की जय...सारे डुग्गरदेस दे लोकें गी मेरा नमस्कार! ज़ोर कन्ने बोलो...जय माता दी! जोर से बोलो...जय माता दी ! सारे बोलो…जय माता दी !

मैं उधमपुर, पिछले कई दशकों से आ रहा हूं। जम्मू कश्मीर की धरती पर आना-जाना पीछले पांच दशक से चल रहा है। मुझे याद है 1992 में एकता यात्रा के दौरान यहां जो आपने भव्य स्वागत किया था। जो सम्मान किया था। एक प्रकार से पूरा क्षेत्र रोड पर आ गया था। और आप भी जानते हैं। तब हमारा मिशन, कश्मीर के लाल चौक पर तिरंगा फहराने का था। तब यहां माताओं-बहनों ने बहुत आशीर्वाद दिया था।

2014 में माता वैष्णों देवी के दर्शन करके आया था। इसी मैदान पर मैंने आपको गारंटी दी थी कि जम्मू कश्मीर की अनेक पीढ़ियों ने जो कुछ सहा है, उससे मुक्ति दिलाऊंगा। आज आपके आशीर्वाद से मोदी ने वो गारंटी पूरी की है। दशकों बाद ये पहला चुनाव है, जब आतंकवाद, अलगाववाद, पत्थरबाज़ी, बंद-हड़ताल, सीमापार से गोलीबारी, ये चुनाव के मुद्दे ही नहीं हैं। तब माता वैष्णो देवी यात्रा हो या अमरनाथ यात्रा, ये सुरक्षित तरीके से कैसे हों, इसको लेकर ही चिंताएं होती थीं। अगर एक दिन शांति से गया तो अखबार में बड़ी खबर बन जाती थी। आज स्थिति एकदम बदल गई है। आज जम्मू- कश्मीर में विकास भी हो रहा है और विश्वास भी बढ़ रहा है। इसलिए, आज जम्मू-कश्मीर के चप्पे-चप्पे में भी एक ही गूंज सुनाई दे रही है-फिर एक बार...मोदी सरकार ! फिर एक बार...मोदी सरकार ! फिर एक बार...मोदी सरकार !

भाइयों और बहनों,

ये चुनाव सिर्फ सांसद चुनने भर का नहीं है, बल्कि ये देश में एक मजबूत सरकार बनाने का चुनाव है। सरकार मजबूत होती है तो जमीन पर चुनौतियों के बीच भी चुनौतियों को चुनौती देते हुए काम करके दिखाती है। दिखता है कि नहीं दिखता है...दिखता है कि नहीं दिखता है। यहां जो पुराने लोग हैं, उनको 10 साल पहले का मेरा भाषण याद होगा। यहीं मैंने आपसे कहा था कि आप मुझपर भरोसा कीजिए, याद है ना मैंने कहा था कि मुझ पर भरोसा कीजिए। मैं 60 वर्षों की समस्याओं का समाधान करके दिखाउंगा। तब मैंने यहां माताओं-बहनों के सम्मान देने की गारंटी दी थी। गरीब को 2 वक्त के खाने की चिंता न करनी पड़े, इसकी गारंटी दी थी। आज जम्मू-कश्मीर के लाखों परिवारों के पास अगले 5 साल तक मुफ्त राशन की गारंटी है। आज जम्मू कश्मीर के लाखों परिवारों के पास 5 लाख रुपए के मुफ्त इलाज की गारंटी है। 10 वर्ष पहले तक जम्मू कश्मीर के कितने ही गांव थे, जहां बिजली-पानी और सड़क तक नहीं थी। आज गांव-गांव तक बिजली पहुंच चुकी है। आज जम्मू-कश्मीर के 75 प्रतिशत से ज्यादा घरों को पाइप से पानी की सुविधा मिल रही है। इतना ही नहीं ये डिजिटल का जमाना है, डिजिटल कनेक्टिविटी चाहिए, मोबाइल टावर दूर-सुदूर पहाड़ों में लगाने का अभियान चलाया है।  

मोदी की गारंटी यानि गारंटी पूरा होने की गारंटी। आप याद कीजिए, कांग्रेस की कमज़ोर सरकारों ने शाहपुर कंडी डैम को कैसे दशकों तक लटकाए रखा था। जम्मू के किसानों के खेत सूखे थे, गांव अंधेरे में थे, लेकिन हमारे हक का रावी का पानी पाकिस्तान जा रहा था। मोदी ने किसानों को गारंटी दी थी और इसे पूरा भी कर दिखाया है। इससे कठुआ और सांबा के हजारों किसानों को फायदा हुआ है। यही नहीं, इस डैम से जो बिजली पैदा होगी, वो जम्मू कश्मीर के घरों को रोशन करेगी।

मोदी विकसित भारत के लिए विकसित जम्मू-कश्मीर के निर्माण की गारंटी दे रहा है। लेकिन कांग्रेस, नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस और पीडीपी और बाकी सारे दल जम्मू-कश्मीर को फिर उन पुराने दिनों की तरफ ले जाना चाहते हैं। इन ‘परिवार-चलित’ पार्टियों ने, परिवार के द्वारा ही चलने वाली पार्टियों ने जम्मू कश्मीर का जितना नुकसान किया, उतना किसी ने नहीं किया है। यहां तो पॉलिटिकल पार्टी मतलब ऑफ द फैमिली, बाई द फैमिली, फॉर द फैमिली। सत्ता के लिए इन्होंने जम्मू कश्मीर में 370 की दीवार बना दी थी। जम्मू-कश्मीर के लोग बाहर नहीं झांक सकते थे और बाहर वाले जम्मू-कश्मीर की तरफ नहीं झांक सकते थे। ऐसा भ्रम बनाकर रखा था कि उनकी जिंदगी 370 है तभी बचेगी। ऐसा झूठ चलाया। ऐसा झूठ चलाया। आपके आशीर्वाद से मोदी ने 370 की दीवार गिरा दी। दीवार गिरा दी इतना ही नहीं, उसके मलबे को भी जमीन में गाड़ दिया है मैंने। 

मैं चुनौती देता हूं हिंदुस्तान की कोई पॉलीटिकल पार्टी हिम्मत करके आ जाए। विशेष कर मैं कांग्रेस को चुनौती देता हूं। वह घोषणा करें कि 370 को वापस लाएंगे। यह देश उनका मुंह तक देखने को तैयार नहीं होगा। यह कैसे-कैसे भ्रम फैलाते हैँ। कैसे-कैसे लोगों को डरा कर रखते हैं। यह कहते थे, 370 हटी तो आग लग जाएगी। जम्मू-कश्मीर हमें छोड़ कर चला जाएगा। लेकिन जम्मू कश्मीर के नौजवानों ने इनको आइना दिखा दिया। अब देखिए, जब यहां उनकी नहीं चली जम्मू-कश्मीर को लोग उनकी असलीयत को जान गए। अब जम्मू-कश्मीर में उनके झूठे वादे भ्रम का मायाजाल नहीं चल पा रही है। तो ये लोग जम्मू-कश्मीर के बाहर देश के लोगों के बीच भ्रम फैलाने का खेल-खेल रहे हैं। यह कहते हैं कि 370 हटने से देश का कोई लाभ नहीं हुआ। जिस राज्य में जाते हैं, वहां भी बोलते हैं। तुम्हारे राज्य को क्या लाभ हुआ, तुम्हारे राज्य को क्या लाभ हुआ? 

370 के हटने से क्या लाभ हुआ है, वो जम्मू-कश्मीर की मेरी बहनों-बेटियों से पूछो, जो अपने हकों के लिए तरस रही थी। यह उनका भाई, यह उनका बेटा, उन्होंने उनके हक वापस दिए हैं। जरा कांग्रेस के लोगों जरा देश भर के दलित नेताओं से मैं कहना चाहता हूं। यहां के हमारे दलित भाई-बहन हमारे बाल्मीकि भाई-बहन देश आजाद हुआ, तब से परेशानी झेल रहे थे। जरा जाकर उन बाल्मीकि भाई-बहनों से पूछो और गड्डा ब्राह्मण, कोहली से पूछो और पहाड़ी परिवार हों, मचैल माता की भूमि में रहने वाले मेरे पाड्डरी साथी हों, अब हर किसी को संविधान में मिले अधिकार मिलने लगे हैं।

अब हमारे फौजियों की वीर माताओं को चिंता नहीं करनी पड़ती, क्योंकि पत्थरबाज़ी नहीं होती। इतना ही नहीं घाटी की माताएं मुझे आशीर्वाद देती हैं, उनको चिंता रहती थी कि बेटा अगर दो चार दिन दिखाई ना दे। तो उनको लगता था कि कहीं गलत हाथों में तो नहीं फंस गया है। आज कश्मीर घाटी की हर माता चैन की नींद सोती है क्योंकि अब उनका बच्चा बर्बाद होने से बच रहा है। 

साथियो, 

अब स्कूल नहीं जलाए जाते, बल्कि स्कूल सजाए जाते हैं। अब यहां एम्स बन रहे हैं, IIT बन रहे हैं, IIM बन रहे हैं। अब आधुनिक टनल, आधुनिक और चौड़ी सड़कें, शानदार रेल का सफर जम्मू-कश्मीर की तकदीर बन रही है। जम्मू हो या कश्मीर, अब रिकॉर्ड संख्या में पर्यटक और श्रद्धालु आने लगे हैं। ये सपना यहां की अनेक पीढ़ियों ने देखा है और मैं आपको गारंटी देता हूं कि आपका सपना, मोदी का संकल्प है। आपके सपनों को पूरा करने के लिए हर पल आपके नाम, आपके सपनों को पूरा करने के लिए हर पल देश के नाम, विकसित भारत का सपना पूरा करने के लिए 24/7, 24/74 फॉर 2047, यह मोदी के गारंटी है। 10 सालों में हमने आतंकवादियों और भ्रष्टाचारियों पर घेरा बहुत ही कसा है। अब आने वाले 5 सालों में इस क्षेत्र को विकास की नई ऊंचाई पर ले जाना है।

सड़क, बिजली, पानी, यात्रा, प्रवास वो तो है। सबसे बड़ी बात है कि जम्मू-कश्मीर का मन बदला है। निराशा में से आशा की और बढ़े हैं। जीवन पूरी तरीके से विश्वास से भरा हुआ है, इतना विकास यहां हुआ है। चारों तरफ विकास हो रहा। लोग कहेंगे, मोदी जी अभी इतना कर लिया। चिंता मत कीजिए, हम आपके साथ हैं। आपका साथ उसके प्रति तो मेरा अपार विश्वास है। मैं यहां ना आता तो भी मुझे पता था कि जम्मू कश्मीर का मेरा नाता इतना गहरा है कि आप मेरे लिए मुझे भी ज्यादा करेंगे। लेकिन मैं तो आया हूं। मां वैष्णो देवी के चरणों में बैठे हुए आप लोगों के बीच दर्शन करने के लिए। मां वैष्णो देवी की छत्रछाया में जीने वाले भी मेरे लिए दर्शन की योग्य होते हैं और जब लोग कहते हैं, कितना कर लिया, इतना हो गया, इतना हो गया और इससे ज्यादा क्या कर सकते हैं। मेरे जम्मू कश्मीर के भाई-बहन अपने पहले इतने बुरे दिन देखे हैं कि आपको यह सब बहुत लग रहा है। बहुत अच्छा लग रहा है लेकिन जो विकास जैसा लग रहा है लेकिन मोदी है ना वह तो बहुत बड़ा सोचता है। यह मोदी दूर का सोचता है। और इसलिए अब तक जो हुआ है वह तो ट्रेलर है ट्रेलर। मुझे तो नए जम्मू कश्मीर की नई और शानदार तस्वीर बनाने के लिए जुट जाना है। 

वो समय दूर नहीं जब जम्मू-कश्मीर में भी विधानसभा के चुनाव होंगे। जम्मू कश्मीर को वापस राज्य का दर्जा मिलेगा। आप अपने विधायक, अपने मंत्रियों से अपने सपने साझा कर पाएंगे। हर वर्ग की समस्याओं का तेज़ी से समाधान होगा। यहां जो सड़कों और रेल का काम चल रहा है, वो तेज़ी से पूरा होगा। देश-विदेश से बड़ी-बड़ी कंपनियां, बड़ी-बड़ी फैक्ट्रियां औऱ ज्यादा संख्या में आएंगी। जम्मू कश्मीर, टूरिज्म के साथ ही sports और start-ups के लिए जाना जाएगा, इस संकल्प को लेकर मुझे जम्मू कश्मीर को आगे बढ़ाना है। 

ये ‘परिवार-चलित’ परिवारवादी , परिवार के लिए जीने मरने वाली पार्टियां, विकास की भी विरोधी है और विरासत की भी विरोधी है। आपने देखा होगा कि कांग्रेस राम मंदिर से कितनी नफरत करती है। कांग्रेस और उनकी पूरा इको सिस्टम अगर मुंह से कहीं राम मंदिर निकल गया। तो चिल्लाने लग जाती है, रात-दिन चिल्लाती है कि राम मंदिर बीजेपी के लिए चुनावी मुद्दा है। राम मंदिर ना चुनाव का मुद्दा था, ना चुनाव का मुद्दा है और ना कभी चुनाव का मुद्दा बनेगा। अरे राम मंदिर का संघर्ष तो तब से हो रहा था, जब कि भाजपा का जन्म भी नहीं हुआ था। राम मंदिर का संघर्ष तो तब से हो रहा था जब यहां अंग्रेजी सल्तनत भी नहीं आई थी। राम मंदिर का संघर्ष 500 साल पुराना है। जब कोई चुनाव का नामोनिशान नहीं था। जब विदेशी आक्रांताओं ने हमारे मंदिर तोड़े, तो भारत के लोगों ने अपने धर्मस्थलों को बचाने की लड़ाई लड़ी थी। वर्षों तक, लोगों ने अपनी ही आस्था के लिए क्या-क्या नहीं झेला। कांग्रेस और उसके सहयोगी दलों के नेता बड़े-बड़े बंगलों में रहते थे, लेकिन जब रामलला के टेंट बदलने की बात आती थी तो ये लोग मुंह फेर लेते थे, अदालतों की धमकियां देते थे। बारिश में रामलला का टेंट टपकता रहता था और रामलला के भक्त टेंट बदलवाने के लिए अदालतों के चक्कर काटते रहते थे। ये उन करोड़ों-अरबों लोगों की आस्था पर आघात था, जो राम को अपना आराध्य कहते हैं। हमने इन्हीं लोगों से कहा कि एक दिन आएगा, जब रामलला भव्य मंदिर में विराजेंगे। और तीन बातें कभी भूल नहीं सकते। एक 500 साल के अविरत संघर्ष के बाद ये हुआ। आप सहमत हैं। 500 साल के अविरत संघर्ष के बाद हुआ है, आप सहमत हैं। दूसरा, पूरी न्यायिक प्रक्रिया की कसौटी से कस करके, न्याय के तराजू से तौल करके अदालत के निर्णय से ये काम हुआ है, सहमत हैं। तीसरा, ये भव्य राम मंदिर सरकारी खजाने से नहीं, देश के कोटि-कोटि नागरिकों ने पाई-पाई दान देकर बनाया है। सहमत हैं। 

जब उस मंदिर की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा हुई तो पिछले 70 साल में कांग्रेस ने जो भी पाप किए थे, उनके साथियों ने जो रुकावटें डाली थी, सबको माफ करके, राम मंदिर के जो ट्रस्टी हैं, वो खुद कांग्रेस वालों के घर गए, इंडी गठबंधन वालों के घर गए, उनके पुराने पापों को माफ कर दिया। उन्होंने कहा राम आपके भी हैं, आप प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा में जरूर पधारिये। सम्मान के साथ बुलाया। लेकिन उन्होंने इस निमंत्रण को भी ठुकरा दिया। कोई बताए, वो कौन सा चुनावी कारनामा था, जिसके दबाव में आपने राम मंदिर के प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा के निमंत्रण को ठुकरा दिया। वो कौन सा चुनावी खेल था कि आपने प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा के पवित्र कार्य को ठुकरा दिया। और ये कांग्रेस वाले, इंडी गठबंधन वाले इसे चुनाव का मुद्दा कहते हैं। उनके लिए ये चुनावी मुद्दा था, देश के लिए ये श्रद्धा का मुद्दा था। ये धैर्य की विजय का मुद्दा था। ये आस्था और विश्वास का मु्द्दा था। ये 500 वर्षों की तपस्या का मुद्दा था।

मैं कांग्रेस से पूछता हूं...आप ने अपनी सरकार के समय दिन-रात इसका विरोध किया, तब ये किस चुनाव का मुद्दा था? लेकिन आप राम भक्तों की आस्था देखिए। मंदिर बना तो ये लोग इंडी गठबंधन वालें के घर प्राण प्रतिष्ठा का आमंत्रण देने खुद गए। जिस क्षण के लिए करोड़ों लोगों ने इंतजार किया, आप बुलाने पर भी उसे देखने नहीं गए। पूरी दुनिया के रामभक्तों ने आपके इस अहंकार को देखा है। ये किस चुनावी मंशा को देखा है। ये चुनावी मंशा थी कि आपने प्राण प्रतिष्ठा का आमंत्रण ठुकरा दिया। आपके लिए चुनाव का खेल है। ये किस तरह की तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति थी। भगवान राम को काल्पनिक कहकर कांग्रेस किसे खुश करना चाहती थी?

साथियों, 

कांग्रेस और इंडी गठबंधन के लोगों को देश के ज्यादातर लोगों की भावनाओं की कोई परवाह नहीं है। इन्हें लोगों की भावनाओं से खिलवाड़ करने में मजा आता है। ये लोग सावन में एक सजायाफ्ता, कोर्ट ने जिसे सजा की है, जो जमानत पर है, ऐसे मुजरिम के घर जाकर के सावन के महीने में मटन बनाने का मौज ले रहे हैं इतना ही नहीं उसका वीडियो बनाकर के देश के लोगों को चिढ़ाने का काम करते हैं। कानून किसी को कुछ खाने से नहीं रोकता। ना ही मोदी रोकता है। सभी को स्वतंत्रता है की जब मन करें वेज खायें या नॉन-वेज खाएं। लेकिन इन लोगों की मंशा दूसरी होती है। जब मुगल यहां आक्रमण करते थे ना तो उनको सत्ता यानि राजा को पराजित करने से संतोष नहीं होता था, जब तक मंदिर तोड़ते नहीं थे, जब तक श्रद्धास्थलों का कत्ल नहीं करते थे, उसको संतोष नहीं होता था, उनको उसी में मजा आता था वैसे ही सावन के महीने में वीडियो दिखाकर वो मुगल के लोगों के जमाने की जो मानसिकता है ना उसके द्वारा वो देश के लोगों को चिढ़ाना चाहते हैं, और अपनी वोट बैंक पक्की करना चाहते हैं। ये वोट बैंक के लिए चिढ़ाना चाहते हैं । आप किसे चिढ़ाना चाहते हैं । नवरात्र के दिनों में आपका नॉनवेज खाना,  आप किस मंशा से वीडियो दिखा-दिखा कर के लोगों की भावनाओं को चोट पहुंचा करके, किसको खुश करने का खेल कर रहे हो।  

मैं जानता हूं मैं  जब आज ये  बोल रहा हूं, उसके बाद ये लोग पूरा गोला-बारूद लेकर गालियों की बौछार मुझ पर चलाएंगे, मेरे पीछे पड़ जाएंगे। लेकिन जब बात  बर्दाश्त के बाहर हो जाती है, तो लोकतंत्र में मेरा दायित्व बनता है कि सही चीजों का सही पहलू बताऊं। और मैं वो अपना कर्तव्य पूरा कर रहा हूं। ये लोग ऐसा जानबूझकर इसलिए करते हैं ताकि इस देश की मान्यताओं पर हमला हो। ये इसलिए होता है, ताकि एक बड़ा वर्ग इनके वीडियो को देखकर चिढ़ता रहे, असहज होता रहे। समस्या इस अंदाज से है। तुष्टिकरण से आगे बढ़कर ये इनकी मुगलिया सोच है। लेकिन ये लोग नहीं जानते, जनता जब जवाब देती है तो बड़े-बड़े शाही खानदान के युवराजों को बेदखल होना पड़ता है।

ये जो परिवार-चलित पार्टियां हैं, ये जो भ्रष्टाचारी हैं, अब इनको फिर मौका नहीं देना है। उधमपुर से डॉ. जितेंद्र सिंह और जम्मू से जुगल किशोर जी को नया रिकॉर्ड बनाकर सांसद भेजना है। जीत के बाद दोबारा जब उधमपुर आऊं तो, स्वादिष्ट कलाड़ी का आनंद ज़रूर लूंगा। आपको मेरा एक काम और करना है। इतना निकट आकर मैं माता वैष्णों देवी जा नहीं पा रहा हूं। तो माता वैष्णों देवी को क्षमा मांगिए और मेरी तरफ से मत्था टेकिए। दूसरा एक काम करोगे। एक और काम करोगे, मेरा एक और काम करोगे, पक्का करोगे। देखिए आपको घर-घर जाना है। कहना मोदी जी उधमपुर आए थे, मोदी जी ने आपको प्रणाम कहा है, राम-राम कहा है। जय माता दी कहा है, कहोगे। मेरे साथ बोलिए

भारत माता की जय !

PM Modi unveils 'Statue of Equality' in Hyderabad

Modi, who was on a half-day visit to the city, participated in worship at the venue at Muchintal on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

• Updated Feb 05, 2022, 10:59 PM IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated a 216-foot statue of Ramanujacharya here and highlighted the 11th century saint's message of equality of all.

The 'Statue of Equality' commemorates Ramanujacharya who promoted the idea of equality in all aspects of living, including faith, caste and creed.

The Prime Minister participated in the Purnahuti' of Vishwaksena Ishti Yagya'. The Yagya is for fulfilment of goals.

He offered the sankalpa' of the Yagya for the Amrit Sankalp' of the country and dedicated the yagya to 130 crore countrymen.

Tridandi Srimannarayana Chinna Jeeyar Swamy of Sri Ramanujacharya Ashram conceptualised the statue.

Ramanujacharya demonstrated that social progress and remaining true to one's roots can go hand in hand, Modi said.

In today's world, when it comes to social reforms and progress, it is believed that reforms will take place away from the root. But, when we see Ramanujacharya, we realise there is no conflict between progressiveness and antiquity. It is not necessary to go far from your roots for reforms. Rather, it is necessary that we connect with our real roots, become aware of our real power," he said.

Ramanujacharya is giving the message of equality in the form of a grand Statue of Equality, he said.

He emphasised that the country today is working collectively for development of all without discrimination and social justice for all so that those who have been oppressed for centuries become partners in the development of the country.

Schemes like Pucca houses, Ujjwala connections, free medical treatment up to Rs five lakh or the free electricity connections, Jan Dhan accounts, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan have strengthened Dalits, the backward and the deprived, he said.

Describing Ramanujacharya as a shining inspiration for the unity and integrity, he said the saint was born in the South but his influence is on the whole of South to North and East to West.

He said the freedom struggle was not just a fight for power and rights. In this fight, there was a colonial mindset on one side, and the idea of live and let live on the other, he said.

On the one hand, it was a hysteria of racial superiority and materialism and on the other hand, it was a belief in humanity and spirituality. And in this battle, India and its tradition were victorious, he said.

On the richness of the Telugu culture, he spoke about 13th century Kakatiya Rudreshwara Ramappa temple in Telangana recently being declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Pochampalli in the State being recognised as the best tourism village by the World Tourism Organisation.

Modi also spoke about the glorious contribution of the Telugu film industry which is making its presence felt globally and much beyond Telugu-speaking areas.

The statue is made of panchaloha', a combination of five metals: gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc and is among one of the tallest metallic statues in sitting position.

It is mounted on a 54-foot high base building named Bhadra Vedi'. It has floors devoted for a Vedic digital library and research centre, ancient Indian texts, a theatre, an educational gallery detailing many works of Sri Ramanujacharya.

Ramanujacharya worked tirelessly for the uplift of people with the spirit of every human being equal regardless of nationality, gender, race, caste or creed.

The inauguration of the statue is a part of the 12-day Ramanuja Sahasrabdi Samaroham, the ongoing 1000th birth anniversary celebrations of Ramanujacharya.

Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy, Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, religious guru i Tridandi Srimannarayana Chinna Jeeyar Swami were present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said: “Statue of Equality will encourage the youth. This statue of Ramanujacharya ji is a symbol of his knowledge, detachment, and ideals.”

Earlier in the day, Modi kickstarted the 50th anniversary celebrations of International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Patancheru, Hyderabad . While speaking on the occasion, PM Modi said, “In the next few years, we want to take area usage in the palm oil sector to 6.5 lakh hectares…We’re focusing on food security as well as nutrition security. We’ve developed several bio-fortified varieties in the last seven years.”

He added, “To save our farmers from climate challenge, our focus is on the fusion of going back to the basics and marching to the future. Our focus is on more than 80% of small farmers of the country who need us the most. The Union Budget is focused on natural farming and digital agriculture.”

While referring to the steps taken to combat climate change, PM Modi further said, “India has set a target of Net-Zero by 2070. We have also called for a pro-planet people’s movement that is crucial to combat climate change and connects every individual with climate.”

Earlier, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, Union Minister for Tourism G Kishan Reddy and Telangana Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav were among the VIPs who received Modi at the airport. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was conspicuously absent as Modi arrived.

A communication from the CMO had said Talasani Srinivas Yadav was nominated as the Minister-in-Waiting to receive and see off the Prime Minister during his visit. News agency PTI reported quoting sources in the Pragati Bhavan, Rao’s official residence, that the CM was not well and was “suffering from fever”.

However, Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar took strong exception to Rao’s absence at the airport, saying it was “shameful on the part of the CM” to give the occasion a miss.

“It is very much evident that the chief minister does not want to show his face to the Prime Minister, as the entire country was abhorring his filthy abuses hurled at the latter,” he said, PTI reported.

“Mr KCR, Is this your culture? You claim to have read 80,000 books. Is it what you have learnt from them?” he added.

Rao has recently criticised the Union Budget, calling it a ‘golmaal Budget’ which was a “betrayal” of the people of the country.  Alleging that both Congress and BJP have failed to make the country realise its potential, he had said he would make efforts towards bringing about “qualitative change”.

Modi is a “very short-sighted Prime Minister” as the Budget has proposed setting up an arbitration centre for dispute resolution in GIFT city in Gujarat though such a centre is already being established in Hyderabad, Rao had claimed.

PM Modi unveils ‘Statue of Equality’; lauds Telugu culture, tradition

Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the ‘Statue of Equality’ at Chinna Jeeyar Swamy ashram in Muchintal on the city outskirts to the nation on Saturday.

Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Modi said his government had been implementing several welfare schemes which were based on the principles of equality propagated by Sri Ramanujacharya and cited NDA government's schemes of Awaas Yojana, Ujwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat etc which benefitted all the poor and the needy in the country irrespective of their castes, creed or religion.

The 216-foot tall ‘Statue of Equality’ commemorates the 11th century Bhakti Saint Sri Ramanujacharya, who promoted the idea of equality in all aspects of living including faith, caste and creed. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy were among those present on the occasion.

The Prime Minister greeted everyone on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami and expressed happiness over the dedication of the statue on such a pious occasion. He said, “India is giving concrete shape to human energy and inspirations through this grand statue of Jagadguru Sri Ramanujacharya. This statue is a symbol of his wisdom, detachment and ideals.”

The Prime Minister participated in the ‘Purnahuti’ of ‘Vishwaksena Ishti Yagya’ for fulfilment of resolutions and goals. He offered the ‘sankalpa’ of the Yagya for the ‘Amrit’ Sankalp of the country and dedicated the yagya to 130 crore countrymen. “In today's world, when it comes to social reforms and progressivism, it is believed that reforms will take place away from the roots. But, when we see Ramanujacharya ji, we realise that there is no conflict between progressiveness and antiquity. It is not necessary to go far from your roots for reforms. Rather it is necessary that we connect with our real roots, become aware of our real power,” he said.

The Prime Minister elaborated the link between the current measures and the wisdom of our saints. He said, “Today, Sri Ramanujacharya is giving us the message of equality in the form of a grand ‘Statue of Equality’. Going along with this message, today the country is laying the foundation of its new future with the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas'. The Prime Minister also emphasised that “India, today, is working collectively for development of all without discrimination; social justice for all so that those who have been oppressed for centuries become partner with full dignity in the development of the country.”

The Prime Minister termed Sri Ramanujacharya a ‘shining inspiration for the unity and integrity of India’. “He was born in the South, but his influence is on the whole of India from South to North and East to West,” he said.

Referring to Hyderabad’s connection with Sardar Patel, the Prime Minister said, “If Sardar Sahib's 'Statue of Unity' is repeating the oath of unity in the country, then Ramanujacharya's 'Statue of Equality' is giving the message of equality. This is the specialty of India as a nation.”

The Prime Minister elaborated on the richness of Telugu culture and how it enriched India’s diversity. He recalled the long traditions of kings and queens who were torchbearers of this rich tradition. In the context of rejuvenation and recognition of India’s places of faith, the Prime Minister talked about the 13th century Kakatiya Rudreshwara Ramappa temple being declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Pochampalli being recognised as India’s best tourism village by the World Tourism Organisation.

He noted the glorious contribution of the Telugu film industry which is making its presence felt globally and much beyond Telegu speaking areas. “This creativity is reigning on the silver screen and OTT platforms. It is being praised even outside India. This dedication of Telugu speaking people towards their art and culture is an inspiration for all,” the Prime Minister added.

Jeeyar Swamy compared Modi's rule with Lord Rama's rule. Swamy said like Lord Rama, Modi was always standing by Dharma. He said under Modi rule, India had achieved global acclaim.

Union minister G. Kishan Reddy said like the Statue of Unity, the Statue of Equality would attract international attention and spread the message of equality across the globe.

The statue is made of ‘panchaloha’, a combination of five metals: gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc and is among one of the tallest metallic statues in sitting position, in the world. It is mounted on a 54-ft high base building, named ‘Bhadra Vedi’, and has floors devoted for a Vedic digital library and research centre, ancient Indian texts, a theatre, and an educational gallery detailing many works of Sri Ramanujacharya. The statue has been conceptualised by Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami of Sri Ramanujacharya Ashram.

During the programme, 3D presentation on the life journey and teaching of Sri Ramanujacharya was showcased. Prime Minister visited the identical recreations of 108 Divya Desams (ornately carved temples) that surround the Statue of Equality.

Hyderabad: Apart from the towering 216 feet tall statue of Sri Ramanuja, everything about the 108 Divya Deshas, the pillars and other structures around the statue is magnificent.

Over four lakh cubic feet of pink sandstone from Rajasthan was used for constructing the entry arches, ticket counters and other structures, nearly five lakh cubic feet of black pearl granite (Krishna Shila) from Kotappakonda and other places was used for constructing 108 Divya Deshas. About 75,000 cubic feet of black marble from Rajasthan was used for 468 pillars.

At peak stage of construction, nearly 2,700 sculptors worked at the site. Specialist sculptors from Mount Abu, who master in sandstone sculpture worked here and about 1,200 such sculptors were brought here. This apart, sculptors from Allagadda, Srirangam, Madurai, Tirupati, Mahabalipuram and other places constructed the 108 Divya Deshas.

Another striking aspect about the 108 Divya Deshas is that Purushila (a form of Krishna shila) was used for sculpting the 325 idols in these temples. The Purushila stone was sourced from Valajya, Kanchipuram and it was tested for its sound, before proceeding to sculpt the idols.

This apart, many Saligramas (holy stones associated with Lord Vishnu) were sourced from River Gandaki, Nepal and they were exchanged for the Saligramas used at the existing 108 temples across the country. All the pujas and rituals performed to the Saligramas at the existing temples would also be performed here at the 108 Divya Deshas, said Chinna Jeeyar Swamy.

This was done to establish cosmic connectivity between the existing 108 temples and the Divya Deshas constructed here for the benefit of devotees. People, who cannot visit the 108 temples across the country, can visit the 108 Divya Deshas and seek blessings, he said.

The 108 Divya Deshas are constructed replicating the sanctum sanctorum, gopurams, kalashas and the main idol existing at the 108 temples across the country.
