Guru Shyama Khyapa: The establishment of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple at the site of the former Babri Masjid marks a turning point. The Supreme Court has given the order, and the temple construction has begun. Everyone involved in this, starting from Advani-ji, sought this outcome. We have brought soil from Mahatma Gandhi's own house—soil from where Bapuji lived—to be offered for the Ram Janmabhoomi. He also wanted this temple to be built.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: In our Hindu scriptures, Ram is a significant chapter. He was an incarnation of Narayana Himself. Lord Shiva is Ram's guru. Since Ram belongs to the Surya dynasty, we are performing this ritual for him. The Ram Temple will be a grand structure and will become a great pilgrimage site for generations to come. Ramachandra was here, he is here, and he will remain.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Many people ask, "Did Ram actually exist?" I say: you have not seen your great-great-grandfather, but can you say he did not exist? In the same way, Ram existed. Performing this Homa for him is the same as performing it for Narayana. We conduct this ritual for both Shiva and Narayana. Lord Shiva is present here as Mahamrityunjaya, and Narayana is present as Ramachandra. Hanuman-ji is also present, and we perform a ritual for him.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: This struggle for the Ram Janmabhoomi has been ongoing for about 492 years. Consider this: 492 years ago, during Muslim rule, they did as they pleased because they held power. Now it is Hindu rule—it is the era of Hindus. Now they will establish Hindutva. The time for that has come. We have finally been able to establish Hindu identity after seventy-five years of independence.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: When India became independent, the partition happened based on religion—into India and Pakistan. The Muslims did not all leave our country, yet Hindutva was never truly established. Now, the promotion of Hindutva has begun. People will gradually understand why Hindutva is necessary and why this was important. This was the biggest question, and finally it has been answered.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I do not hate any religion. I am not showing intolerance toward any community. I do not hate anyone. But we are Hindus; we can surely say that we are Hindus. Why should we not? All religions have lived together in India for many years. Shakas, Huns, Pathans, Mughals—we have lived with everyone. But we never expressed our Hindutva. Now, the promotion has begun. Let it not be "Radical Hindutva," but rather let everything happen with tolerance and harmony. This is my prayer to Shri Ram. Jai Shri Ram!
