In Sanatan Dharma there was a tradition of celebrating the festival as a symbol of the epoch-making event. The whole society should participate in the festival. He thanked the organizers and said that such events should be held. He said, in 2017, nothing happened in Ayodhya, from where the great festival of Diwali begins and is celebrated all over the world. The then Chief Secretary Avnish Awasthi and his wife Padmashree Malini Awasthi were sent to Ayodhya and the outline of the event was made. It was revealed that there was darkness there, people of Ayodhya used to raise slogans, Yogi ji, do one thing, build the temple. The Chief Minister said, at that time some people also asked what would happen by lighting a lamp? Respond, he said, in Sanatan Dharma, lamp is a resolution, if the lamp is lit with full heart, it will definitely be fulfilled. Started celebrating Deepotsav in Ayodhya since 2017, by the grace of God, Ram temple is in front of us. Now, if people go to Ayodhya after November 25, they will see the struggle of Sangh Parivar and society in building the temple. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, no one could have imagined that the RSS would become the largest organization in the world in the centenary year. He said, I wonder how the Sangh could have become such a big organization? Then the mind itself answers that there is great power in faith and belief. If the problem of mathematics can be solved on the basis of faith and belief, then why the problem of human life cannot be solved on the basis of that. Dr. Hedgewar considered saffron as the source of inspiration because he did not want the fame of any person. The Central Government has issued postage stamps and coins on the centenary journey of the Sangh because when the volunteers of the Sangh are on such posts, the results will be pleasing. Said, he is the Defense Minister and later a volunteer of the Sangh. All India Pracharak head of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Swatantranjan said that Hindu culture has been festive since ancient times. Every week they keep celebrating some festival or the other. The roots of Indian culture become stronger through these festivals. Champat Rai, general secretary of Ram Mandir Teerth Trust area, said that the association celebrated the return of Ram from exile. The mere news of the construction of a temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi fills the public with enthusiasm, so far more than six crore people have visited. Ram Mandir is a symbol of India’s pride in the world, Indians have shown that the correction of insult is possible with the continuous efforts of the society. Perhaps in the last thousand years such a temple would not have been built in this area. In which iron was not used. It is also a temple of education.
