Disciple:
Greetings, Gurudev.
Gurudev:
Greetings, my son, greetings, greetings. In this episode, I mistakenly shared some incorrect information regarding Pinaki Banerjee about Akbar and Babur. It was actually established by Babur's minister.
Gurudev:
The information was inaccurate. I appreciate that he pointed it out. I offer him my sincere respect, devotion, and love for providing the correct information. People often remember incorrect facts, so I am glad he spoke up.
Gurudev:
It was Babur's general who established the Babri Masjid in Babur's name after removing the Ram Mandir. I truly appreciate this correction. I am speaking from my heart. Such mistakes happen as one grows older, and I ask for forgiveness.
Gurudev:
Anyway, on the 5th, Ram Rajya was effectively established in India. Ram Rajya has begun. Now we can say with conviction, "Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram!"
Gurudev:
Victory to you. Jai Shri Ram, victory to you. Victory to Shri Ram. We can raise this slogan now, can we not? It was suppressed for so long, but now that the Supreme Court has delivered its verdict, we can chant this with great joy: "Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram!"
Gurudev:
Victory to Shri Ram. We can say this now. You see, 74-75 years have passed since India's independence, but we were not truly free. We were not allowed to express ourselves. Our voices were suppressed, and we were intimidated, even by the police, being told we could not say "Jai Shri Ram." But Shri Ram is deep within our hearts. Today, Ram resides within us.
Gurudev:
Setting Hindutva aside, everything is fine. But why should not we be able to utter the name of Ram? Since the Ram Mandir is being established by the BJP, some may have issues with it. But why should not we chant Ram's name? We do not understand that logic.
Gurudev:
The "Jai Shri Ram" slogan is not recent; it originated over 30 years ago. It goes back to before Advani's Rath Yatra. We saw bricks being sent from here with "Shri Ram" inscribed on them—hundreds, thousands, even lakhs of people went to contribute just one brick each. We witnessed it with our own eyes.
Gurudev:
And the best part is, today is a day of joy. Today, Ram Rajya has been established. Now, what does Ram Rajya signify? It means a state where there is no conflict or legal hardships. People will follow the path of truth. They will live truthfully. There will be no need for police or administration. This is what we mean by Ram Rajya.
Gurudev:
However, I must say one thing: excessive excitement in the name of Ram is not advisable. The level of excitement we see, especially among non-Bengalis, is quite high. Bengalis are different, but non-Bengalis are willing to give up everything for the name of Ram. Ram Lalla, Sitaram, Jai Sitaram—we say it, and they say it too. That is how it is.
Gurudev:
But we should not let our devotion become so frenzied that it causes trouble for others, leads to legal issues, or makes people uncomfortable. We should not behave that way. Becoming over-excited or fanatical is not right.
Gurudev:
Ram Lalla is being established, he has finally found his place, and there is no need for further controversy. The temple will be built, and there is no controversy there either. Ram Rajya being established is also beyond dispute. So, I will say this: do not become aggressive. Do not go crazy in the name of Ram.
Gurudev:
Ram was there, he is here, and he will always be there in the future. There is no point in getting over-excited or being sarcastic. We are now living in Ram Rajya. We must live by the truth. No injustice or falsehood will be tolerated because Ram Rajya has begun.
Gurudev:
Therefore, I can now say, "Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram! May you be victorious, may you be victorious, may you be victorious."
